MJF praises Adam Sandler after ‘Happy Gilmore 2’, like a father for me!

Adam Sandler Had nothing but fun things to say MJF‘s performance in “Happy Gilmore 2” … and love is certainly mutual, because the AEW star tells TMZ Sports Hearing the praise of his pops on the screen “Absolutely” makes him excited.

We caught up with MJF – that Sandler’s son plays in the sequel to the 1996 classic – earlier this week in New York City … and he described it as a dream to work next to the Sandman.

“He is really a father for me at the moment,” said the wrestler. “I grew up absolutely to look up at him and tofe him as a child.”

“And to be part of what is essentially Americana, when you think of ‘Happy Gilmore’, and what will be a huge, great big comedy, it’s so special, you can’t say enough positive things.”

It is not the first time that the former AEW champion adorned the big screen, because in 2023 he had a few moments in “Iron Claw” … And he makes it sound like we have to get used to his mug that pops up in films.

“I am going to act as seriously as professional struggling, and I am very enthusiastic about it.”

Speaking of struggle, we had to ask him when he intends to carry out the contract for a title shot against Adam PageBut he would not give anything away.
