Eminem spotted filming 'comedic' cameo for Happy Gilmore 2 alongside Adam Sandler

Eminem fans will be delighted to know that the rapper is set to make a 'comedic' cameo in Adam Sandler's upcoming movie Happy Gilmore 2.

According to reports, the 52-year-old rapper was spotted on set of the movie in New Jersey earlier this week and was an 'absolute delight' to be around and was also 'fine with all the takes.'

According to The US Sun, Eminem - whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers - was filming top secret scenes for the highly-anticipated film, which is also set to star Bad Bunny and NFL star Travis Kelce.

'Em is a big fan of the original movie, and he was a total pleasure to work with,' an insider told the publication.

'He was just super low key, he didn't have a big entourage, and was just an absolute delight on set.'

The source also revealed that Eminem - who recently revealed his daughter, Hailie Jade Scott, is pregnant - 'has good comedic acting skills,' as they commented: 'He’s playing a comedic role and he really had fun with it.

'He flew in just for this the night before and left the following night. It was a one-day shoot,' the insider added.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Eminem's representatives for comment. 

This isn't the first time that Eminem has appeared onscreen with Adam, 58, as he also made an appearance in the actor's 2009 film Funny People. 

The Lose Yourself hitmaker is no stranger to being in front of the camera, and made his Hollywood debut in the semi-autobiographical 2002 film 8 Mile, and also played himself in the season seven finale of TV series Entourage.

Meanwhile, Adam - who has been pictured on set alongside a stunt double in recent weeks - has also pulled in various other big names to star in Happy Gilmore 2.

Back 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 had been speaking with Adam on a weekly basis about his involvement in Happy Gilmore 2. 

While it is currently unclear which part 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 name beyond football. 

The first Happy Gilmore film was released in 1996 and sees Adam play the titular character, who is 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 happening and said: 'We're getting ready to shoot it in New Jersey in a couple of weeks.'

He then added: 'It's good, we worked hard on this script man, we didn't wanna let anybody down. People have been asking me for a long time, "Do Happy Gilmore 2," and I was always like, "Nah, I'll only let you down," but then me and my buddy we came up with an idea, we're really excited about it.'
