Did you know the alligator from ‘Happy Gilmore’ lives in Colorado?

DENVER (KDVR) — “Happy Gilmore 2” is coming to Netflix soon, but you won’t see all of the original cast. The alligator that stole Adam Sandler’s golf ball in the almost 30-year-old film won’t be on set – he’s living out his retirement in Mosca, Colorado.

Talks of a sequel to “Happy Gilmore” have been making the rounds in recent months with Sandler letting slip that he was “working on some stuff” for “Happy 2” on the Dan Patrick Show in April.

While hints of the film have been released, not much else is known about the sequel, other than the alligator accused of biting off Carl Weathers’ hand and wresting Sandler for the golf ball in the first movie won’t be making another appearance.

The gator’s name is Morris, and he is 60 years old at this point. In his younger years, he starred in many films like “Dr. Dolittle 2,” “Interview with the Vampire,” “Eraser,” “Blues Brothers 2000” and more.

Morris was a star because of his aggressive behavior, seen in “Happy Gilmore,” with his feisty chomping and hissing.

According to Colorado Gators Reptile Park, many alligators in the park aren’t dangerous, however, Morris is the most dangerous one.

But his aggressive charisma ended up being his downfall.

Colorado Gators told FOX31 that Morris was forced to retire after he tore up the set of the ’90s sitcom “Coach.”

The gator has been retired ever since.

Now, he’s living out the rest of his years, which could be as long as 100, in the Centennial State. While he’ll be in retirement for the sequel, at least he’ll still be alive to see the premiere.
