Julie Bowen Reveals Happy Gilmore 2 Is De-Aging The Actors, But For A Good Reason



While it can and has been done well, de-aging actors in films can also be a bit precarious, so I was surprised to learn that the upcoming Happy Gilmore 2 would be using this technique. However, since it’s been almost 30 years since the release of the great ’90s movie from Adam Sandler and a lot of the original cast is coming back, Julie Bowen explained how they’re putting this post-production process to good use.

The world has changed a lot since 1996 when Happy Gilmore first released, especially in the realm of technology. Some advancements, like AI, have caused concern in the film industry because it’s a less authentic shortcut that takes away acting jobs. However, when used with integrity, it can help create some pretty cool effects. Coupled with post editing and skilled makeup, filmmakers have the option to de-age their actors, which is a technique Bowen told Collider the movie has decided to utilize for a good reason:

It is really weird. This is not a spoiler, but because there are flashbacks, they have to put me in the hair and the clothes from then, which are not my faves. It’s fun because they also get to de-age me, which I’ve never gotten done. I’m like, ‘Cool, I can’t wait to see what that is.’ There’s a lot of really fun stuff. And seeing Adam [Sandler] and Chris [McDonald], and even some of the crew was the same. Adam is such a loyal, lovely person to work with, and he loves to take the people along with him from the get-go. Perry [Andelin Blake], our production designer, has been with him since Happy Gilmore, and he looks exactly the same.
