“Happy Gilmore 2” cast talk Eminem’s comic cameo

In a new Zoom interview with UPI, Happy Gilmore 2 cast members spoke about Eminem’s cameo in the movie.

“That was a nuts day. When I work out, Eminem is my go-to music over and over and over again. He has created some of the best pump-up music in the history of music ever, point blank. So, I’m just standing there and I’m like: ‘Wait, I’m beating up Eminem with my closest friends on this random day? OK, sign me up!’ Not only was he a good sport, he stayed way later and he was like, ‘Let me try to do a different take and say something different there,’ and he improvised so many different lines while he was in the water with the gators… He’s something else.” said pro wrestler Maxwell Jacob Friedman, who plays Happy’s eldest son Gordy.

Philip Fine Schneider, who plays Gordy’s brother Bobby, chimed in: “He was, literally in the water, which is crazy. I didn’t even think he was going to be in the water. I was like, ‘Oh, it will be a body double or whatever.’ But he was in there and wanted to be in there and wanted to stay. It was great.”

“The big takeaway was the fact that, no matter who the person was that came on to set, big or small, everybody put in 110 percent and was just so amped to be a part of the project, so it was really inspiring stuff,” Friedman added.
