One of, if not the biggest name to appear in Happy Gilmore 2 is Eminem.

This isn't Eminem's first time on the big screen; back in 2002 he was the star of a movie roughly based on his life called 8 Mile.

It's safe to assume that it wasn't hard to get Eminem to play himself in a movie about himself, but the question I want to know is how did he get involved with Happy Gilmore 2?

How Did Adam Sandler Get Eminem In Happy Gilmore 2

According to Sandler, he was initially hesitant to bother Eminem about being in the movie.

However, as the script for the character took shape, people kept telling Sandler that Eminem would be perfect for the part.

In Happy Gilmore 2, Eminem plays Donald Floyd Jr., the son of the heckler from the first film.

Sandler eventually decided to call Eminem, and asked if he'd be willing to come and shoot for a day.

He was on board and agreed to be in the movie.
