Paige Spiranac lays bare ‘coolest’ Happy Gilmore 2 secrets after see-through dress frenzy

“You forget that he is Adam Sandler. He just is so amazing… I can’t say enough good things about him.

“And then the amount of people it takes to make this happen, it was really cool to see the behind the scenes and to see the final product.

“We were on set for hours and my scene – if you blink you’ll miss it – so the amount of time and effort and care that goes into creating these movies that we all love, it was really, really cool to see.”

Spiranac also revealed that her role potentially came as a result of a “fake casting” situation, which was the inspiration behind one of her iconic Instagram posts where she recreated Julie Bowen’s character Virginia Venit wearing white lingerie and carrying beer in the original Happy Gilmore.

She recalled: “There was a fake casting that came out a while ago, and I kind of threw my name into the ring.

“I said, ‘Hey, I’m ready for (the role).’ I put up a picture of me which was like recreating the ‘Happy Place’ with the iconic image of her (Virginia Venit) in the white with the beer, and it gained a lot of attraction.

“I think that’s kind of how it all came together, but it was such a cool experience.”

Spiranac was joined on the red carpet by a host of other celebrities and golf stars, including world No.1 Scottie Scheffler, who arrived alongside his wife Meredith.

Scheffler also proudly held the Claret Jug in hand after a dominant weekend in Northern Ireland that saw him lift The Open for the first time in his career.

Other stars cast in the film include Rory McIlroy, Jon Daly, Brooks Koepka, Travis Kelce, Bad Bunny, Becky Lynch, Post Malone, Eminem.
