Bad Bunny teases his movie future following Happy Gilmore 2
After starring in Happy Gilmore 2, Bad Bunny is "hoping to explore different genres" in new movies.
Bad Bunny wants to star in more movies following Happy Gilmore 2.
The 31-year-old rapper joined Adam Sandler, 58, for the 2025 comedy flick, and Bad Bunny has now revealed he is hoping to “explore different genres” in film.
Speaking to E! News, he said: “I hope to keep doing comedy, but also, I am hoping to explore different genres, like drama … keep doing action, like Bullet Train.”
Bad Bunny - whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio - was showered with praise by his Happy Gilmore 2 co-star Sandler, who led the Netflix movie as the titular golfer.
He gushed: “[Bad Bunny] is just in it. They call ‘action’ and Benito is ready to go, and stays focused and was the guy he wanted to be the whole time.”
Happy Gilmore 2 - which is the sequel to the beloved 1996 comedy movie Happy Gilmore - follows the retired hockey player-turned-golf legend as he returns to the green to mentor a hot-headed new prodigy.
When an old rival resurfaces, Happy must reclaim his swing and his spirit to save the game he loves.
Looking to the future, Sandler admitted he had “never even thought of” making a third Happy Gilmore movie, though insisted he had also never considered Happy Gilmore 2 being a possibility either.
When asked if a third Happy Gilmore film was on the table, Sandler said: “I never even thought of that. But I never thought of Happy Gilmore 2 either, so we’ll see.”
The Grown Ups star previously admitted it was constant fan pressure that had led to him getting the ball rolling on Happy Gilmore 2.
During an appearance on Good Morning America, Sandler said: “When I walk[ed] down the street a lot of times people [would] say, ‘You ever gonna do Happy Gilmore 2?’
“And for 28 years, I was like, ‘What are you talking about? No.’ And then all of a sudden, I was like, ‘Maybe’ ... people kept asking. And then it just felt right.”
Happy Gilmore 2 also stars Ben Stiller as Hal L., Christopher McDonald, as Shooter McGavin, Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit and NFL star Travis Kelce as a hotel employee.
When asked about the wide-ranging cast, Sandler said: “I don’t know how it happened. We wrote ‘em stuff and everybody was kind enough to come. And everybody in it did a great job.
“Every day someone cool would show up and we’d hang out.”
