Eminem fans will be happy to know that the rapper will make a “comedic” cameo in Adam Sandler’s upcoming film Happy Gilmore 2.
According to reports, the 52-year-old rapper was spotted on the set of the film in New Jersey earlier this week and was an “absolute pleasure” to be around and was also “fine with all the filming.”
According to The American sunEminem – whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers – was filming top-secret scenes for the highly anticipated movie, which will also star Bad Bunny and NFL star Travis Kelce.
“Em is a huge fan of the original film and it was a pleasure working with him,” an insider told the publication.

The source also revealed that Eminem — who recently revealed that his daughter, Hailie Jade Scott, is pregnant — “has good comedic acting skills,” as they said, “He’s playing a comedic role and he’s really had fun with it.”
‘He flew here especially the night before and left the next night. It was a one-day shoot,” the insider added.
DailyMail.com has contacted Eminem’s representatives for comment.
This isn’t the first time Eminem has appeared on screen with Adam, 58, as he also appeared in the actor’s 2009 film Funny People.
The Lose Yourself hitmaker is no stranger to being in front of the camera. He made his Hollywood debut in the 2002 semi-autobiographical film 8 Mile, and also played himself in the season seven finale of the TV series Entourage.
Meanwhile, Adam – who has been pictured on set alongside a stunt double in recent weeks – has also signed several other big names to star in Happy Gilmore 2.
In September, it was revealed that Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, 30, had joined the star-studded cast, which also includes Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis, 35.
In August, reports emerged that the footballer spoke to Adam weekly about his involvement in Happy Gilmore 2.

Adam played the role of short-tempered aspiring hockey player Happy Gilmore in the original 1996 film
While it is currently unclear what role he will play, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has now secured his first major Hollywood gig after setting his sights on becoming a star outside of football.
The first Happy Gilmore film was released in 1996 and sees Adam play the titular character, a short-tempered aspiring hockey player who discovers a unique talent for golf.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in August, Adam confirmed the sequel was coming, saying, “We’re getting ready to shoot it in New Jersey in a few weeks.”
He then added, “It’s okay, we worked hard on this script guy, we didn’t want to let anyone down. People have been asking me for a long time, “Do Happy Gilmore 2,” and I always thought, “No, I’ll just disappoint you,” but then me and my friend came up with an idea: we’re very excited about it. ‘
