After nearly 30 years, Adam Sandler has finally returned to the golf course to reprise his iconic role as Happy Gilmore<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Happy Gilmore 2 was released on Netflix on July 25, 29 years after the original film hit cinemas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Happy Gilmore 2 has been widely praised on social media as many see it as a solid return to the screen for the beloved character.<\/p>\n

But aside from the excitement of seeing just what Happy Gilmore’s life looks like 30 years after he shot to fame as an unexpected golf pro, there’s another aspect of the film fans simply can’t stop talking about.<\/p>\n

There is an insane number of celebrity cameos in this film.<\/p>\n

So, we’ve collected all the cameos we picked up on and put them in a neat and tidy list so you know exactly who to look for when you watch the film.<\/p>\n

You’ll see we’ve separated the list into two sections, “cameos” and “cast”, and just know that list is solely based of our own general vibe of how much screen time each star was given.<\/p>\n

Now, strap yourselves in and be prepared to have your mind blown when you see just how many stars Sandler managed to wrangle for the film.<\/p>\n

Celebrity cameos in Happy Gilmore 2Cameron Boyce<\/p>\n

It’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, but Sandler of course had to include his late co-star Cameron Boyce.<\/p>\n

\ufeffBoyce starred as Sandler’s son in the 2010 film Grown Ups and the 2013 sequel, and the pair became incredibly close working together over the years, with Sandler seeing Boyce somewhat as his own son.<\/p>\n

The young star died in 2019 at 20 years old, with Sandler paying tribute to him in the 2020 film Hubie Halloween, which Boyce was set to star in.<\/p>\n

Now, the comedian has once again paid tribute to his on-screen son with a brief moment as characters are seen watching Boyce in the TV show Jessie. \ufeff<\/p>\n

Eminem\"EminemEminem appears as Donald Jr. (Netflix)<\/p>\n
