Justin Thomas got 100% real on sharing the screen with $440 million (Celebrity Net Worth) Hollywood actor Adam Sandler. Thomas joined the Atlanta Drive vs. the Bay Golf Club press conference, which was on Tuesday, March 18. Thomas reflected on his team, Atlanta Drive’s victory in the interview session, and following that, he shared about his role in the Happy Gilmore 2 movie.
Thomas talked about his experience and his words were ( via ASAP Sports):
“It was very cool. I definitely realized pretty quickly how often I quote Adam Sandler movies in my everyday life. Because when you're around the person you naturally don't want to do that to not make yourself kind of look stupid. But it was borderline very excessive, I started to realize, on my end, so it was almost a reality check.”
He continued, “It was very, very cool. I mean, I would say if you put us in any situation outside of golfers it would be extremely uncomfortable, but at least we're able to somewhat be ourselves. And it was a learning experience and a totally different aspect, but, man, it was so much fun and one of the coolest experiences I've had for sure.”
The Happy Gilmore 2 is the sequel of the Happy Gilmore movie, which is a sports comedy centered on golf. Apart from this, Thomas’ TGL team Atlanta Drive recently won the semi-finals and they are going to the TGL finals.
