Adam Sandler about Christopher McDonald
The Billy Madison star, widely cherished for his comic roles and mimicry, recently appeared on the Dan Patrick Show. During the discussion with the host, the topic of Happy Gilmore 2 came up.
Talking about the film being worked on, the You Don't Mess with the Zohan actor recalled a conversation between him and Christopher McDonald.
"He texted me after the fact, 'By the way, that thing you told me not to talk about, I talked about.' I said, 'Oh, that's good news,'" Sandler stated during his conversation with Patrick on Wednesday's episode, mentioning that he had asked McDonald to keep the news related to the sequel confidential.
While speaking of the same, Sandler said, "All I did was tell him, 'See, I did standup, I did a comedy special, and a lot of my buddies came by, and Shooter was one of them.'"
McDonald had played the character of Shooter McGavin in the 1996 film.
Adding his side of the conversation, the Uncut Gems actor stated, "And I said, 'Dude, we've been talking about a Happy 2, and we're working on some stuff.' That's all I told Shooter. I said, 'But don't tell anybody. Don't tell anybody.' And then he, you know, he kept it mostly private. He told a couple of DJs about it. They usually are great at secrets, don't you think?"
