Julie Bowen might be reprising her role in Adam Sandler’s new Happy Gilmore sequel, but she had initially given up hope of returning to the golf course after her son informed her that Sydney Sweeney had supposedly been cast.
Bowen was visiting The View when she revealed her son had a hilarious way of breaking the news to her.
According to the Modern Family star, her son told her, “‘Bruh theyâre making a sequel and youâre not in it.’”
She continued, “He told me that Sydney Sweeney was the cart girl and I was out, but could I get him on the set?”
Bowen mentioned that she “didn’t care” about being invited back to the movie. “I love Adam, and he’s gonna do what he’s gonna do. I didn’t even think they were making a sequel, so when he called and asked, ‘Would you do it?’ I was like duh,” she remarked.
Bowen will be reprising her role as Sandler’s on-screen love interest Virginia Venit.
“I was like, ‘Yes, but isnât Sydney Sweeney doing it?’” she joked, before adding, “I love Sydney Sweeney and if I could be her, I would.”
Bowen has said before that she did not expect to return for Sandler’s star-studded sequel.
“I didn’t think they’d bring me back at all,” she said during a recent appearance on the Inside of You podcast. “I mean, who am I supposed to be? He’s got to have a younger woman in this one, Happy Gilmore 2.”
Netflix has been keeping the details about Happy Gilmore 2 under wraps. But we do know that many of the original cast are returning, including Ben Stiller and Christopher McDonald. Benito Antonio MartÃnez Ocasio (also known as Bad Bunny) will be joining the cast this time, alongside Sandler’s daughters Sadie and Sunny Sandler.
Happy Gilmore 2 premieres on Netflix July 25.
The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.Â
