$4M worth Christopher McDonald shares experience working with ‘legend’ John Daly

John Daly has a major cameo appearance in the recently released film Happy Gilmore 2. The movie is about Happy Gilmore (played by Adam Sandler), who attempts to return to professional golf. Daly plays a key part in the film, inspiring Gilmore to return. He was recently praised for his acting abilities by Christopher McDonald, one of the movie's main actors.

For context, Christopher McDonald plays Shooter McGavin, Happy Gilmore's arch nemesis in the 1996 film. Interestingly, McGavin finishes the rivalry and shakes hands with Gilmore to confront another competitor who has surfaced in this film. As a result, as part of the movie's story, McDonald performed several humorous scenes alongside John Daly. He recently posted one of these scenes on his Instagram account to express his gratitude to Daly for his performance.

McDonald stated that it was a pleasure to work with a legend like John Daly. Daly even reposted this story about the $4 million Hollywood star's story (according to Celebrity Net Worth). The golfer even captioned his Instagram story,

"Luv Ya Brother"

Happy Gilmore 2 is now available on Netflix, and it has performed admirably since its premiere, placing among the top ten trending movies on the platform.

Daly even organised a large party to celebrate the film's release in his new lounge. He purchased this bar in Nashville in June, but the grand opening celebration was held on July 25. On Instagram, the golfer also posted a photo dump from behind the scenes.
