Becky Lynch calls MJF ‘just the sweetest boy’ after working on Happy Gilmore 2
Becky Lynch thinks MJF is “just the sweetest boy.”
Lynch and MJF both appear in Netflix’s sequel to Happy Gilmore. Lynch plays an Irish golfer named Flex, while MJF portrays one of Happy Gilmore’s sons.
During an interview with Vulture that was published Thursday, April 16, Lynch was asked for her thoughts on the now-former AEW World Champion and what it was like working on the movie with him. Lynch said she initially expected MJF to be similar to his wrestling persona, but ultimately realized that was not the case.
Lynch said:
“I think he’s so great. I love him. And honestly, I’ll be honest, I thought he’d be an a–h— like his character. He’s so good at his character that I was like, ‘Oh, I’m gonna hate this guy.’ And he’s just the sweetest boy. He’s so nice and he was so great and he was such a great conversation. It was such a great chat and we bonded instantly and I love him.
You know I totally bought the act, and now I’m killing the act, so sorry. But no, I think he’s great and he’s wonderful and he was so great in the movie. He’s fantastic. He’s just a fantastic little speaker and actor and he’s also so young still. So I’m so very excited to see where his career goes.”
Up next, Lynch will challenge AJ Lee for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship on night one of WrestleMania 42 on Saturday. As for MJF, he is coming off losing the AEW World Championship to Darby Allin in the main event of Wednesday’s Dynamite from Everett, Washington.
