Eminem Makes Cameo in Netflix's 'Happy Gilmore 2' Sequel

Eminem made a memorable cameo as Donald Jr., the son of the heckler Donald from the original Happy Gilmore, in the Netflix sequel Happy Gilmore 2, which was released on July 25. Adam Sandler, who is friends with Eminem, initially hesitated to ask him to join the film, not wanting to disrupt Eminem's life and music career in Detroit. However, after being persuaded by others and recognizing Eminem's perfect fit for the role, Sandler contacted him, and Eminem agreed to participate for a day of filming. Their friendship dates back to 1999 when they met at a Saturday Night Live afterparty. Fans enjoyed Eminem's humorous performance, as shown in outtakes released on Instagram, and praised his natural comedic talent. The sequel also features other celebrity cameos and original cast members, blending nostalgia with new elements.
