Julie Bowen hails 'very respectful' co-star Adam Sandler
The 55-year-old actress has reprised the role of Virginia Venit for Happy Gilmore 2, and Julie admits that she relished reuniting with Adam for the long-awaited comedy sequel.
She told Us Weekly: "I love Adam. He's a very respectful person, especially when it comes to, like, a kissing scene or something.
"I always feel like I can drive that train. He's like, 'Oh, you're gonna gimme the tongue?' And I was like, 'I might! I might do it.'"
Julie actually finds it "easy" to work with the comedy star.
She said: "He's wonderful. I love this person. I mean, I'm not married to him. That's [his wife] Jackie. He has a beautiful family. But I love him deeply. [It's] so easy to play with him."
Julie also hailed Adam, 58, for creating a supportive atmosphere on set.
The actress shared: "Everybody wants to feel like they're home, and Adam does that for hundreds of people.
"When he talks about all the cameos and the guest stars, he doesn't talk about getting a good performance out of them. He talks about thanking them for giving up their time, for standing around for 12 hours and doing their part. That has never changed."
Meanwhile, Julie previously revealed that she thought Sydney Sweeney was set to replace her in Happy Gilmore 2.
The actress thought someone like Sydney, 27, was perfectly suited to replace her in the much-anticipate comedy movie.
Julie told The Hollywood Reporter: "I thought, 'Well I won't be in it'. And that was OK - it was like Virginia Venit, it's been 30 years, he's got a hottie. He's got some little bitty on the side, like a cart girl.
"As a matter of fact my children told me, before I was even told officially that there was a 'Happy Gilmore' sequel, my now 18-year-old said, 'Mom, I hear they're doing a sequel and he's with Sydney Sweeney as a cart girl.'"
Sydney was widely linked with a role in the new 'Happy Gilmore' movie - but Julie was pleasantly surprised to be offered a part in the sequel.
She said: "I went, I'm hurt and I so respect that move. Of course, why wouldn't you? So when I got the call that I was actually in it, I was like, 'Are you sure? Come on.'"

Meagan Good ready to have children
Meagan Good is "definitely" ready to have children. The 43-year-old actress married Jonathan Majors - who has a 12-year-old daughter from a previous relationship - in March after two years of dating and they are now planning to add to their family, with the I'll Never Let You Go actress knowing she's picked a "phenomenal" person to have kids with. She told Us Weekly magazine: 'I definitely am ready to have kids now. 'And then, my partner [is] someone I want to really do it with, and get excited about doing it with, and who is a phenomenal father already, but now we can do it together. 'Two [children] would be good. We got four dogs already. So, we got four Belgian Malinois, and they are the hyperest dogs of life, but the house is very safe.' Meagan admitted her role on Harlem has helped her realise she wanted to have children and be a mom. She explained: 'I know that there's a lot of similarities to Camille's journey and to Meagan's journey because I always knew that I wanted to be a mother. 'But I'd have to ask myself, 'Is that because I felt like I should want that?' And then there were times where I wasn't sure, and I was like, 'Am I pushing back against it because I don't like people telling me what I'm supposed to want?' I think that, during the course of the show, being able to say out loud that Camille doesn't want kids — because it's such a taboo thing to say — and everyone always goes, 'Well, what's wrong with you?' 'It's, like, 'No, some people just don't want to,' and to be able to explore that with her, and then ultimately for her to be the one to get pregnant and be able to explore that journey. … Some people, maybe they just don't want to. For other people, maybe there is something you're afraid of, maybe there is something you've experienced, maybe there is something that's holding you back, and all of those things, nothing can be wrong. All these things are just a part of our journey. "'It definitely made me excited to go, 'OK, now that I've explored and unpacked so much through my character in more ways than one, now I get to go, 'Yeah, I think this actually makes me super ready.' " Meagan praised married life with Jonathan as "super amazing". She gushed: 'I'm just really happy. He's very silly. He always falls asleep in the middle of movies. I love doing adventures with him. If I'm like, 'Let's just go try this. Let's go do that.' He's like, 'All right, let's go.' We're just both in it, like, two little kids who can't believe we're allowed to do what we want to do.'
