After almost three decades away from the field, Adam Sandler's beloved golfer, Happy Gilmore, has returned to the game again. However, this time he has brought in a special guest: Bad Bunny. Famous for dominating stadiums and music charts, the rapper's surprise take at comedy has been racking up viral cheers. Fans have been fawning over the announcement of his appearance in Happy Gilmore 2 since last year. Now, with just a day ahead of the highly anticipated Netflix comedy's premiere, expectations are at full swing. 

Taking to X, one fan declared Bad Bunny's casting choice as "hard," while some other users were pleasantly surprised by his acting skills. Most of the rapper's fandom flooded social media praising Bunny's ravishing look when Netflix teased a mere 21-second clip of his Happy Gilmore 2 cameo, fairly warning the audience, "You are not ready for Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio in Happy Gilmore 2." Truth be told, most of the fans are indeed not ready for the comedy explosion about to be unleashed on Netflix on July 25.

In September 2024, The Hollywood Reporter revealed Bad Bunny's Happy Gilmore 2 casting confirmation. The music superstar plays Oscar, Happy's caddy in the sequel to the 1996 cult classic sports comedy. He is no stranger to silver screen roles, having previously starred alongside Brad Pitt in Sony’s action comedy Bullet Train and also appearing in the Amazon drama Cassandro. What makes his latest foray into movies more special is his relationship with lead actor and screenplay writer, Adam Sandler, whom he is a huge fan of. Throughout the press run for the film, the rapper has revealed his emotional burst of tears out of sheer joy upon meeting Sandler for the first time. He even has an endearing name for the veteran actor!

As for Sandler, he explained on Late Night with Seth Meyers that Bunny's comedic talent on Saturday Night Live rendered him the perfect choice for a cameo, previously done by veteran comedians in the original movie. Fans are now doubly excited to see how their comedic chemistry plays out in the movie.

Fans are expressing their cute aggression over Bad Bunny's hilarious first look in Happy Gilmore 2, with some sweetly accusing him of bringing the heat to comedy. One of those who are unprepared echoed in the comments on X, "Not gonna lie… I wasn’t ready. But now I’m locked in." To no one's surprise, the crowd-puller musician has also successfully made fans add the movie to their weekend watchlist with a single cameo where he appears dashing yet funny. Fans are already expecting him to steal the show.

Then, there are fans who are cooking up even more hilarious scenarios where the rapper could take comedy to the next level, potentially sharing screen with Travis Kelce, who is also set to appear in the movie. 

As excitement builds up for all the celebrity cameos for Happy Gilmore 2, nostalgic fans are certainly waiting for a moving storyline that finally brings Happy back in the game again. With most of the original cast, Julie Bowen, reprising her role as Virginia Venit, Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin, as well as Ben Stiller and Dennis Dugan, all reprising their iconic roles, the film is expected to break Netflix's viewership records in no time.
