The legend lives on: it seems that there will soon be a sequel to the 1996 comedy “Happy Gilmore” – “Happy Gilmore 2”. Producer and leading actor Adam Sandler is working on a second version of the film, as Christopher McDonald aka Shooter McGavin revealed. The hearts of “Happy Gilmore” fans are beating faster at this news and the first wish casts are spreading on the Internet. Definitely set, according to social media users: Instagram star Paige Spiranac in the role of the “Public Relations Lady”.

Paige Spiranac seems to be made for the role

Back in 2021, Adam Sandler had already hinted that he would like to see a sequel to the comedy. Now it seems to be getting serious, as McDonald reported. “I saw Adam about two weeks ago, and he says, ‘McDonald, you’re gonna love this. He shows me the first draft of Happy Gilmore 2,” the actor said in an interview in Cleveland, “He did show me that, and I thought, ‘Wow, that would be awesome.’ So it’s in the works. Fans, demand it, damnit!”

Since the news has been doing the rounds on the internet, fans have already been fantasizing about a possible cast: alongside Will Zalatoris and Tiger Woods, they also want to see Paige Spiranac. The 30-year-old used to play professional golf but has been concentrating on golf training and social media since 2017 for health reasons. She regularly shares photos and videos from her life and the golf course with her 4 million followers on Instagram.

She recently posted a photo of herself on Twitter, which she originally took in 2022, in which she sees herself in the role of the “public relations lady”. With the words “I was born ready”, she agrees with the fans’ suggestion. Will we see Spiranac on Netflix soon?

This is “Happy Gilmore”

The 1996 film comedy is about Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler), a clumsy but talented ice hockey player who decides to use his talent on the golf course to earn money. In the process, he gets into numerous absurd and comical situations as he struggles through the world of professional golf. The film is known for its quirky humor and over-the-top golf tournaments, as well as the unconventional way the main character approaches the sport.
