Is Vienna Adam Sandler’s real daughter?
Yes, Happy Gilmore’s daughter in the 2025 sequel is also Sandler’s actual daughter. Vienna Gilmore, who is an aspiring ballet dancer in the film, is played by Sunny Sandler, the real 16-year-old daughter of the actor and comedian.
Sunny has appeared in more than two dozen films alongside her father, whether as an actress or a voice actress, including “Grown Ups,” “Blended,” and “Hubie Halloween.” In 2023, Sunny was one of the stars of “You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah,” a film that also featured her sister and both of her parents.
“Happy Gilmore 2” is one of her largest roles yet, as her desire to chase her dreams as a dancer is central to the storyline of the film.
