Reggie Bush admits he has a role in Happy Gilmore 2: 'You're going to laugh your ass off'

The highly anticipated sequel to Happy Gilmore is coming to Netflix in 2025. Both Adam Sandler and Christopher McDonald are back to reprise their respective roles of Gilmore and Shooter McGavin but this time, they’ll be joined by a former Heisman Trophy winner — Reggie Bush.

Bush, the now FOX Sports college football analyst, recently told Arash Markazi of The Sporting Tribune that he has a role in Happy Gilmore 2.

“I’m very excited for when the movie drops and I’ve been patiently waiting, not really talking about it, I just I want to surprise people,” Bush said. “I just want to pop up on people and but yeah, man, it was an amazing opportunity. Adam Sandler is just an amazing person. Getting a chance to work alongside him was a true experience that I’ll never forget.

“My man was directing, producing, coaching and acting as well. He does it al. I love being able to work around people like that because it motivates me and I want to work around the best.”

While Bush isn’t revealing too much about his role, he did say it’s more than just a cameo. Bush is one of several athletes/entertainers taking part in the film, joining rappers Eminem, Bad Bunny and Kid Cudi, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and AEW wrestler MJF.

“I auditioned for the role,” Bush said. “This wasn’t a role that was given to me. I actually auditioned for it and worked for it. [Sandler] loved my audition tape. It was definitely something that I’m just so proud of myself for even attempting and taking seriously and putting in the work, and getting the role, which is something that not a lot of people get to experience.

“I got a chance to talk trash to Shooter McGavin in the movie. Just to even stand next to Shooter McGavin, was awesome. Without giving away too much, man, I think you’re going to love it. You’re going to laugh your ass off.”
