In a move no one saw coming—but now no one can stop talking about—Eminem has officially entered the Adam Sandler cinematic universe. Yes, you read that right. The Detroit rap legend, better known for obliterating beats than swinging golf clubs, makes a surprise (and surprisingly heartfelt) appearance in Happy Gilmore 2… playing none other than Chubbs Peterson’s son.
Let that sink in.
When the trailer dropped, fans were buzzing about Sandler’s return to his iconic 1996 role. But absolutely no one expected a sudden Slim Shady sighting, let alone one this bold, bizarre, and somehow… perfect.
“Wait, Is That—?!”
The moment comes early in the film. After a sentimental flashback to the late Chubbs (originally played by Carl Weathers), Happy visits a golf range tucked away in the Florida swamp. He’s there to pay respects—and that’s when the camera pans to a mysterious figure in sunglasses, beat-up sneakers, and a crooked grin.
He says nothing at first—just leans on a putter, head cocked like he knows something you don’t. The crowd in the test screening reportedly gasped audibly.
Then he says it.
“People act like my pops didn’t teach Happy how to swing. But I’ve got a meaner follow-through… and a nastier playlist.”
Cue the laughter, cheers, and a wave of disbelief: Eminem, aka Marshall Mathers, is playing Chubbs Jr., the fictional son of Happy’s original golf mentor. But the real twist? He’s also playing Slim Shady… in disguise.
A Role That’s Half Cameo, Half Resurrection
On paper, the idea sounds absurd—Eminem in a golf comedy sequel? But on-screen, it works shockingly well.
From the moment he appears, he oozes that classic Shady energy: sarcastic jabs, sideways glances, and a swagger that clashes hilariously with the country-club setting. But beneath the humor, there’s a thread of genuine warmth—especially as he delivers lines about legacy, pressure, and following in someone’s footsteps.
It’s a scene that starts like a joke and ends like a tribute.
“I thought it would just be funny,” Sandler said in an interview. “But Em came in with this layered take—he wanted to do something for Carl Weathers, something for fans of Slim Shady, and something weirdly real about being a son who’s trying to live up to a legacy.”
In one moment, he’s riffing on his dad’s lost hand with lines like, “He lost it to a gator, I lost it to the charts,” and in the next, he’s pacing alongside Happy, offering heartfelt (and oddly aggressive) life advice.
“Sometimes the best way to hit a clean shot,” he growls, “is to stop giving a damn who’s watching.”
Classic Em.
The Slim Shady Easter Eggs
Fans were quick to catch a dozen winks to Em’s music persona buried in the performance:
His golf bag? Labeled “Shady Driver.”
His gloves? Black leather, fingerless.
His ringtone in the movie? An instrumental version of “Without Me.”
And yes—he raps… briefly. In one scene, he freestyles a golf-themed diss toward Shooter McGavin’s nephew (played by Pete Davidson). It’s crude, clever, and absolutely hilarious.
“You slice worse than deli meat, kid.”
By the time the credits roll, what started as a cameo becomes something more: a love letter to 2000s-era pop culture, mashed together with just enough self-awareness to keep you laughing.
A Surprising Impact
Social media exploded after the movie’s premiere. TikTok edits of “Shady in Sandler World” racked up millions of views. One fan tweeted, “I came for Happy Gilmore. I stayed for Chubbs Jr. Slim Shady with a putter is peak cinema.”
Even Eminem’s longtime collaborator Dr. Dre chimed in, posting on Instagram, “This man just turned a golf movie into 8 Mile 2. Respect.”
Will There Be More?
There’s already buzz about a Chubbs & Shady spin-off—a buddy comedy in the making? Possibly. Sandler was coy about it in interviews, but said, “If Em’s in, I’m in. The chemistry was real.”
Eminem, for his part, hasn’t said much beyond a simple post on X (formerly Twitter):
“Guess I’m a golf guy now. FORE-get Slim Shady?”
Classic wordplay. Classic misdirection. Classic Em.
Final Thoughts
Eminem’s appearance in Happy Gilmore 2 isn’t just a cameo. It’s a surreal, funny, oddly emotional collision of two worlds no one expected—but everyone’s glad happened.
In under 10 minutes of screen time, he revives a beloved character’s legacy, nods to his own musical persona, and leaves the audience wanting more.
It’s weird. It’s wonderful. It’s… Shady on a golf course.
