One of the most talked about cameos in Happy Gilmore 2 came from NFL player Travis Kelce<\/a>. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end took on the role of a waiter and the tyrannical boss of Bad Bunny\u2019s character. Travis has called the opportunity \u201csurreal\u201d.<\/p>\n

Swift threw her support behind the film by posting to Instagram stories, \u201cHappy Gilmore 2 had me cackling and cheering the whole movie! An absolute must watch, 13\/10, go watch it on [Netflix] as soon as humanly possible.\u201d She finished the post with a honey jar emoji\u2014a nod to one of Travis\u2019 most notable scenes in the film.<\/p>\n

The breakout star of Happy Gilmore 2 is undeniably Puerto Rican musician, Bad Bunny. Less a cameo, more of a starring role, Bad Bunny\u2014whose real name is Benito Antonio Mart\u00ednez Ocasio\u2014plays Happy\u2019s caddy, Oscar. <\/p>\n

On his podcast New Heights<\/a>, Travis Kelce spoke about working with Bad Bunny on Happy Gilmore 2. \u201cLooking at Bad Bunny [in a scene] is hilarious. Baddy Bunny is naturally funny as f***,\u201d Travis said. \u201cPeople are going to find out how funny he is in Happy Gilmore 2.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like Travis, Bad Bunny is no stranger to high-profile relationships, having previously dated Kendall Jenner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fans of the original Happy Gilmore will remember a heckler played by the late Joe Flaherty. His character, Donald, was hired to yell \u201cjackass\u201d at Happy when he took a shot. This concept is revived in Happy Gilmore 2, with rapper Eminem taking the role of Donald\u2019s son, Donald Jr. Following in his \u2018dad\u2019s\u2019 footsteps, Donald Jr. continues to heckle Happy during his comeback. The rapper is barely recognisable under a bucket hat and lush brown wig and beard.<\/p>\n

If you think the celebrity cameo is surprising, one only need to look back to 2009, when Adam and Eminem shared a scene in the film Funny People.<\/p>\n
