The Two -time large champion said it was a “immediately yes” when Happy Madison Productions and his agent reached.
“Fortunately, over the years we have surprised to see over the years that a bunch of great golfers would put on the Bruins sweater and do Happy Gilmore Swings,” added Happy Madison co-founder Jack Giarraputo. “So over the years we were enthusiastic and noticed, assuming the boys were fans of the first film, and we went after the best people to make the film the most authentic.”
Morikawa also played in an American bank commercial, where he so well completed a copy of Happy Gilmore “Bull Dance” from Happy Gilmore if everyone could do.
“I thought it would be pretty tame – boy, I was wrong,” said Morikawa.
“We deliver the goods”, “Happy Gilmore 2” director Frank Coraci Chimed.
Morikawa, however, said that the culture of the Happy Madison team made it easy to get out of his comfort zone.
“They only told me the last piece of shooting, and they must have caught me on the perfect day, because I am not,” said Morikawa. “But I think that is what is so nice about this – it brings me out of my comfort zone, it brings athletes in this film out of our comfort zone. One, we are not actors, but two, to show the culture these guys bring, we are willing to go out of our zone and have some fun. That is part of making memories with these guys, which was really good.”
US Bank got the chance to be the most important sponsor of one of the tournaments in the film – such as Morikawa, it was a no -brainer.
“The fact that Collin was involved made it just much easier. He is our husband, US Bank will be the sponsor, Collin has parts in the film that increases the comfort zone,” said US Bank Chief Marketing Officer Michael Lacorazza.
