"Em is a big fan of the original movie, and he was a total pleasure to work with," the insider gushed.

"He was just super low key, he didn't have a big entourage, and was just an absolute delight on set."

The insider added that the rapper was very easygoing and "was fine with all the takes."

One of the bigger surprises that came out of the Lose Yourself rapper's appearance?

“He has good comedic acting skills," the source said.

"He’s playing a comedic role and he really had fun with it."

It was a quick turnaround for the son of Detroit's in the Garden State.

"He flew in just for this the night before and left the following night. It was a one-day shoot," per the source.

It's actually an onscreen reunion of sorts for Eminem and Adam, who appeared together in the 2009 film, Funny People.

Meanwhile, Eminem is far from the only major star to have appeared in the sequel to the iconic 1996 golf comedy.

As The U.S. Sun previously exclusively reported, Kansas City Chief's tight end, Travis Kelce, was on set last month filming his own cameo, while sources said the cast was holding out hope for a little extra star power alongside the football star.

An insider said that Happy Gilmore 2 production was holding out hope for his famed lady love Taylor Swift to join the cast, though if that has happened, it has yet to be seen. 

In the meantime, Taylor has been said to be really proud of Travis' acting career.

"She is so excited for Travis," the insider added.

Adam Sandler has scored some famous faces, though some are still just rumored to be making an appearance.

Travis Kelce filmed a scene in October.

Eminem flew in for a top-secret cameo in November.

Notorious bad boy golfing legend John Daly admitted he is in the film.

Meanwhile Tiger Woods, Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy are all also rumored to be in the flick.

"Taylor knows his acting career is important for him and something he wants to grow into."

FILMING UNDERWAY

The U.S. Sun was told that Travis' scenes were filmed at the Pleasantdale Chateau in West Orange.

Security was ramped up outside the luxury wedding venue with Travis.

The football star is said to be eager to break into Hollywood once his stellar NFL career ends.

"He has been taking acting classes for months," said the insider. "He loved the whole experience."

Other notable names participating in revamp of the classic are bad boy golfing legend John Daly who admitted to being in the film.

There have been rumors that Tiger Woods, Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy are all also involved.

Back in September, it was also reported that Bad Bunny had joined the star-studded cast.
