How a Cheeky Lie Landed Margaret Qualley a Role in Happy Gilmore 2

Jack Antonoff, in a hilarious twist of fate, fibbed about his wife Margaret Qualley’s golf skills to help her snag a role in “Happy Gilmore 2.” Despite being a self-proclaimed golfing catastrophe, Qualley couldn’t be more thrilled about the opportunity, proving that sometimes a little white lie goes a long way in the movie business.

Taylor Swift’s bud, Jack Antonoff, spun a wee white lie to snag his missus, Margaret Qualley, a part in Adam Sandler’s upcoming flick, “Happy Gilmore 2.” During an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Qualley, a die-hard fan of the original film, shared how her husband “fudged the truth” about her golfing skills. Let’s just say she’s not exactly a golf champion, despite Antonoff’s enthusiastic claim that she’s “actually good.” Oh, the things we do for love! So, when Sandler asked Antonoff if his wife had any golf game, he received a resounding “Yes!” from Antonoff—cue the comedy music. Qualley chimed in, “I can’t golf,” making it clear that her husband was swinging haymakers with that fib. Still, it worked, and though her role may be small (hello, “deep background”), she couldn’t be happier about being part of the comedy classic’s sequel. Talk about a major win for the Antonoff-Qualley duo!

In the world of celebrity, sometimes it’s all about who you know…and perhaps a cheeky little fib! Celebs don’t just rely on their own talents; they also leverage friendships, especially when it comes to landing roles in movies. Margaret Qualley, known for her roles in “Maid” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” discovered this when her husband, famous music producer Jack Antonoff, played matchmaker with a white lie to secure her a part in Adam Sandler’s sequel to a beloved comedy. The original “Happy Gilmore,” a staple from the ’90s, holds a special place in the hearts of audiences, making this sequel highly anticipated. Whenever the acclaimed Sandler picks up the golf club again, you can be sure fans are eager to see which stars associated with Swiftie actually ace their roles, and who just shuffles around in the background like a confused golfer on an overcast Tuesday morning!

At the end of the day, all’s well that ends well—especially when that ending means a role in a film alongside the legendary Adam Sandler! Margaret Qualley may not be the next golfing superstar, but her husband’s clever fib secured her a spot in the comedy world’s next big thing. Not a bad deal when your only requirement is to be part of the shenanigans! Sometimes, lying can just be love in disguise, and in this case, it’s a hole-in-one!
