Nikki Bella on filming Happy Gilmore 2: ‘We just could not stop crying laughing’

Nikki Bella says she had a lot of fun filming Happy Gilmore 2.

Bella appears as a spectator at a golf event alongside Becky Lynch in a trailer for the film released at the end of May. She revealed on her podcast last month that she filmed her scenes last fall and in a recent interview with E! called working with Adam Sandler “the greatest thing ever.”

Bella said:

“Oh my gosh, the greatest thing ever. He is absolutely amazing. This set was so much fun. I mean, I’ve always believed laughter is the best medicine, but it really is. And you know how sometimes when people do sequels, you’re like, ‘It’s never as good.’ This is going to be even better than the first and I’m not even saying that cause I’m a part of it, but we just could not stop crying laughing on set.”

“Adam just makes it really comfortable for everyone. I’ve never been in that big of a feature film. And he’s so hands-on every scene with everybody on how you can make every scene even better. And it was so much fun.“

It’s not clear if Bella’s role in the film is just a cameo or if she plays a larger part. She mentioned that the film takes a direction that hasn’t been revealed in any of the trailers and said fans will be surprised.

“I’m so excited for everyone to see it cause so much of the movie they haven’t even teased yet in the trailers.“

“There is a massive part that people are going to be obsessed with – and that’s kind of where I’m at – that they haven’t even teased that I think is so cool.”

MJF also appears in the movie, playing one of Gilmore’s sons, Gordie, who is said to have inherited his father’s love of hockey. Happy Gilmore 2 premieres on Netflix on July 25.
