According to an exclusive insider report from The U.S. Sun, Eminem’s unexpected role is one of several star-studded cameos planned for the highly anticipated sequel to Adam Sandler’s 1996 cult comedy.
A source from the production revealed that Eminem, a longtime fan of the original Happy Gilmore, was an “absolute delight on set,” describing him as easygoing and humble. “Em is a big fan of the original movie, and he was a total pleasure to work with,” the insider shared. Unlike many A-list celebrities, Eminem arrived without a large entourage and fully immersed himself in the filming process, nailing his takes with patience and professionalism.

The most unexpected revelation? Eminem’s hidden knack for comedy. Known for his intense and edgy persona in music, the rapper surprised everyone with his comedic timing and ease in front of the camera. “He has great comedic acting skills,” the insider said. “He’s playing a comedic role, and he really had fun with it.” This cameo marks a reunion for Eminem and Sandler, who shared the screen in 2009’s Funny People, making his appearance in Happy Gilmore 2 a nostalgic throwback for fans of both stars.
Eminem’s cameo adds to the growing list of high-profile appearances in Happy Gilmore 2, as the production looks to pull in fans from across the music, sports, and entertainment worlds. NFL star Travis Kelce, tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, recently filmed his own cameo, drawing attention not only from his football fans but also from pop culture followers, given his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift. According to insiders, Swift is “incredibly proud” of Kelce’s expanding interests in acting, although there’s still speculation about whether she might make a surprise appearance herself.
