Happy Gilmore 2 Filming Wraps

Sandler, 58, spoke about the progress of Happy Gilmore 2 during his chat with host Dan Patrick, 67. While discussing cameos in the film, Patrick excitedly mentioned Eminem’s involvement. Sandler responded affirmatively, stating that the rapper, 52, had filmed his scenes for the movie and was a joy to work with.

“Eminem was cool, he came by, he was great,” Sandler shared. “He just shot and shot and was insane. He said a million things we can use and a million that we’re glad we have him on tape.”

Although Sandler remained tight-lipped about the specific details of Eminem’s role in the sequel, he described the collaboration as a positive experience. “I’ve known Eminem for a long time, he’s a great guy,” Sandler added. “He just came in, and was funny as hell.”

Star-Studded Cast

In addition to Eminem, Happy Gilmore 2 will feature several other notable figures, including sports stars and media personalities. Patrick, NFL player Travis Kelce, and actor Benny Safdie, who Sandler teased would play a significant role, are all set to make appearances. Happy Gilmore 2 will also see the return of Christopher McDonald as the infamous villain Shooter McGavin.

Another highlight is the rumored cameo of retired golf legend Jack Nicklaus, 84, a prospect Sandler hinted at during the interview.

The actor also acknowledged the pressure of creating a sequel nearly 30 years after the original film. Despite the challenges, Sandler expressed confidence that the film would meet expectations.

“We’ve got a lot of good stuff, and we just want to make sure that it all comes together,” Sandler said. “We’re definitely nervous, but we feel some sort of confidence.”
