Picture: Netflix
Happy Gilmore 2 is now on Netflix, and we’ve known throughout production that this movie was going to be particularly heavy when it came to cameos, and it turns out that was absolutely the case. With close to 50 cameos from the world of sport, music, and pop culture at large, we thought we’d put together a list of everyone who featured.
Sandler movies are known for their cameos, which date back to the 1990s, and Happy Gilmore 2 feels like a blend of some of those earlier movies, as well as the original Happy Gilmore movie, but on steroids. It features stars from yesteryear and today in minor roles.
