Eminem quickly wrapped up his scene during a one-day shoot

The “Monster” rapper flew to New Jersey earlier this week to film his scenes for the highly anticipated sequel to the iconic 1996 golf flick. The US Sun’s November 6 evening report revealed that Eminem was spotted on Happy Gilmore 2’s New Jersey set on Tuesday. Nothing beyond his brief shooting schedule details have been spilled yet. However, an insider affirmed that the 52-year-old musician, who is a “big fan of the original movie” shockingly delivered the task with ease.

He came on board without a big entourage, keeping things low-key and focussing on the task at hand. “Fine with all the takes,” Eminem showcased his hidden comedic acting skills and had fun with what he was doing. Much like his cameo in the film, his presence at the filming set was also short-lived (but unforgettable). “He flew in just for this the night before and left the following night. It was a one-day shoot,” the source said, hinting at the rapper successfully wrapping up his contributions to the Adam Sandler hit.
