Ben Stiller was recently spotted on the New Jersey set of Happy Gilmore 2, looking strikingly different as he reprised his memorable role as Hal. Sporting a thick, faux moustache and a classic waistcoat, the Hollywood veteran embraced the eccentric character that fans of the original 1996 film fondly remember.
Ben Stiller for Happy Gilmore 2:
The film, directed by Stiller’s close friend Adam Sandler, has been eagerly anticipated by fans worldwide since whispers of its production began. Stiller’s return to Happy Gilmore is especially exciting for fans who recall his character Hal’s hilariously gruff attitude as a nursing home orderly. His transformation drew attention as he filmed scenes with his stunt double, embodying the character with his trademark humor and dedication.
But Stiller isn’t the only high-profile name to make waves on set. Happy Gilmore 2 is set to feature a range of celebrity cameos, including an unexpected comedic appearance by none other than Eminem. The 52-year-old rapper reportedly flew in for a quick one-day shoot, filming scenes that have been kept tightly under wraps. According to an exclusive source, the Detroit-based artist—known for his intensity and lyrical prowess—surprised the cast and crew with his natural comedic skills.
Eminem’s willingness to step out of his comfort zone delighted the cast and crew, who were impressed by his easygoing attitude on set. “He nailed every take and was so low-key about it,” the source added. His appearance in Happy Gilmore 2 also marks a reunion of sorts with Sandler, as the two had previously shared screen time in Judd Apatow’s Funny People back in 2009.
Sandler and Stiller’s close friendship and comedic synergy are evident in the film, which promises fans the same offbeat humor and memorable characters that defined the original. The film’s celebrity cameo list and Stiller’s transformation as Hal are set to add an extra layer of excitement for fans awaiting the sequel’s release. With Happy Gilmore 2 bringing nostalgia and new twists, fans can expect a star-studded return to Sandler’s classic comedy.
