The set of the highly anticipated sequel to the 1996 comedy classic, “Happy Gilmore,” is witnessing exciting behind-the-scenes action. Detroit’s own rap legend, Eminem, has quietly filmed a secret cameo appearance for “Happy Gilmore 2,” and the cast and crew were thoroughly impressed by his comedic acting chops.
An exclusive source revealed to The U.S. Sun that Eminem, 52, flew into the New Jersey film set earlier this week to shoot his top-secret scenes. The insider gushed that the “Lose Yourself” rapper was an absolute “pleasure to work with” during the one-day shoot.
“Em is a big fan of the original movie, and he was a total pleasure to work with,” the source said. “He was just super low key; he didn’t have a big entourage and was just an absolute delight on set.”
Apparently, Eminem’s easygoing attitude and commitment to nailing his comedic role were a pleasant surprise for the production team. “He was fine with all the takes,” the insider shared, “and he has excellent comedic acting skills. He’s playing a comedic role, and he really had fun with it.”
This isn’t the first time Eminem has shared the screen with lead actor Adam Sandler. The two previously appeared together in the 2009 film “Funny People,” so their reunion on the “Happy Gilmore 2” set feels like a fun, full-circle moment for fans.
While details about Eminem’s specific role remain tightly under wraps, the source did reveal that his cameo appearance was a quick in-and-out affair. “He flew in just for this the night before and left the following night. It was a one-day shoot,” the insider said.
Eminem isn’t the only big name set to make a surprise appearance in the “Happy Gilmore” sequel. As The U.S. Sun previously reported, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has also filmed a cameo for the upcoming film. Rumors have also swirled about potential appearances from golfing legends like Tiger Woods, Bryson DeChambeau, and Rory McIlroy, as well as Latin superstar Bad Bunny.
Bringing in this star-studded lineup of cameos is a savvy move by the “Happy Gilmore 2” production team, as they aim to capitalize on the nostalgic appeal of the original film while also attracting new fans with fresh faces. And with Eminem’s proven comedic skills now added to the mix, audiences are sure to be in for some truly hilarious moments when the sequel hits Netflix in the coming years.
As a longtime fan of the original “Happy Gilmore,” I can’t wait to see how Eminem fits into the crazy world of golf, subjugating driving ranges and antagonizing other players. His ability to blend sarcasm, intensity, and unexpected moments of heart is a perfect match for the tone of the franchise.
Whether he’s squaring off against Happy on the green or just providing some scene-stealing support, I have a feeling Eminem’s cameo is going to be one of the highlights of “Happy Gilmore 2.” Fans of the original film and Eminem devotees alike will be delighted to see the rap icon showcase his comedic chops in this highly anticipated sequel.
So mark your calendars, golf enthusiasts and comedy lovers—”Happy”Gilmore 2″ is shaping up to be a must-see event, and Eminem’s secret cameo is sure to be a major draw. I, for one, can’t wait to see what chaos and laughter he brings to the table.
