‘Happy Gilmore’ Director, Adam Sandler Pay Tribute

‘Happy Gilmore’ Director, Adam Sandler Pay Tribute

Published by Sam

Carl Weathers, who died Thursday at age 76, made his name as the formidable boxing adversary Apollo Creed in the Rocky films. But it was his career pivot with the 1996 Adam Sandler comedy Happy Gilmore that made him newly relevant to a younger generation. As it turns out, his road to landing in the beloved comedy was an unlikely one. Dennis Dugan — who directed Happy Gilmore, in addition to such other comedy hits as Problem Child, Big Daddy and the Grown Ups films — tells The Hollywood Reporter that Weathers “literally couldn’t be a nicer guy, and he was so Chubbs. Nobody else could have ever been Chubbs but him.” The film centers on Sandler’s title character, who can’t hack it as a hockey player but becomes a surprising golf sensation, thanks to his monster drives and the assistance of his mentor, Derick “Chubbs” Peterson. Dugan recalls wanting to cast Christopher McDonald as memorable villain Shooter McGavin, and that when he reached out to McDonald’s agent, the rep suggested another client for a …

Adam Sandler is remembering a “legend.” On Friday, actor Carl Weathers‘ family confirmed to ET that he died in his sleep the day prior. He was 76. Weathers and Sandler famously starred in the 1996 comedy Happy Gilmore. Sandler portrayed the hockey player-turned-golf pro, while Weathers took on the role of his golf instructor, Derick “Chubbs” Peterson, a pro golfer who had to retire after his hand was bitten off by an alligator. Upon hearing the news of his co-star’s death, Sandler took to Instagram to praise Weathers. “A true great man. Great dad. Great actor. Great athlete,” the 57-year-old comedian captioned a series of photos of the late star. “So much fun to be around always. Smart as hell. Loyal as hell. Funny as hell. Loved his sons more than anything. What a guy!! Everyone loved him.” Sandler added, “My wife and I had the best times with him every time we saw him. Love to his entire family and Carl will always be known as a true legend.” Julie Bowen, who played Virginia Venit in Happy …

Carl Weathers, Star Of Rocky Movies And Happy Gilmore, Dies Aged 76

Carl Weathers, Star Of Rocky Movies And Happy Gilmore, Dies Aged 76

Published by Sam

NEW YORK (AP) — Carl Weathers, a former NFL linebacker who became a Hollywood action movie and comedy star, playing nemesis-turned-ally Apollo Creed in the Rocky movies, facing off against Arnold Schwarzenegger in Predator and teaching golf in Happy Gilmore, has died. He was 76. Matt Luber, his manager, said Weathers died on Thursday. His family issued a statement saying he died “peacefully in his sleep”. Comfortable flexing his muscles on the big screen in Action Jackson as he was joking around on the small screen in such shows as Arrested Development, Weathers was perhaps most closely associated with Creed, who made his first appearance as the cocky, undisputed heavyweight world champion in 1976’s Rocky, starring Sylvester Stallone. “It puts you on the map and makes your career, so to speak. But that’s a one-off, so you’ve got to follow it up with something. Fortunately those movies kept coming, and Apollo Creed became more and more in people’s consciousness and welcome in their lives, and it was just the right guy at the right time,” …
