Ben Stiller is seen on the set of Happy Gilmore 2 for the FIRST TIME as he joins Adam Sandler in filming scenes for the comedy classic’s sequel

Ben Stiller has been seen on the set of Happy Gilmore 2 for the first time on Friday.

The legendary actor, 58, was seen filming scenes alongside show star Adam Sandler, also 58, for the comedy classic’s sequel on location in Kearny, New Jersey.

Ben’s appearance on set confirms long-time rumours that he’s reprised his role as nursing home orderly Hal L, whom he originally played in the 1996 film. 

Almost 30 years after his original role, Ben’s dastardly character still rocks his strong horseshoe moustache and voluminous locks – albeit a bit greyer this time around. 

Getting stuck into his familiar role, the film star also dons a patterned blue shirt, yellow tinted glᴀsses and a black waistcoat which has Hal’s name badge pinned to it.

Meanwhile, Adam cut a very casual figure in a grey hoodie as he milled around on set.  

It comes as Eminem fans will be delighted to know that the rapper is set to make a ‘comedic’ cameo in Adam Sandler’s upcoming movie Happy Gilmore 2.

According to reports, the 52-year-old rapper was spotted on set of the movie in New Jersey earlier this week and was an ‘absolute delight’ to be around and was also ‘fine with all the takes.’

According to The US Sun, Eminem – whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers – was filming top secret scenes for the highly-anticipated film, which is also set to star Bad Bunny and NFL star Travis Kelce.

‘Em is a big fan of the original movie, and he was a total pleasure to work with,’ an insider told the publication.

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

The source also revealed that Eminem – who recently revealed his daughter, Hailie Jade Scott, is pregnant – ‘has good comedic acting skills,’ as they commented: ‘He’s playing a comedic role and he really had fun with it.

‘He flew in just for this the night before and left the following night. It was a one-day shoot,’ the insider added.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Eminem’s representatives for comment. 

This isn’t the first time that Eminem has appeared onscreen with Adam, 58, as he also made an appearance in the actor’s 2009 film Funny People.

The Lose Yourself hitmaker is no stranger to being in front of the camera, and made his Hollywood debut in the semi-autobiographical 2002 film 8 Mile, and also played himself in the season seven finale of TV series Entourage.

Meanwhile, Adam – who has been pictured on set alongside a stunt double in recent weeks – has also pulled in various other big names to star in Happy Gilmore 2.

Back in September, it was revealed that Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, 30, had joined the star-studded cast, which also includes Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis, 35.

In August, reports emerged that the footballer had been speaking with Adam on a weekly basis about his involvement in Happy Gilmore 2.

While it is currently unclear which part he will play, the Kansas City Chiefs тιԍнт end has now secured his first major Hollywood gig after setting his sights on becoming a star name beyond football. 

The first Happy Gilmore film was released in 1996 and sees Adam play the тιтular character, who is a short-tempered aspiring hockey player who discovers a unique talent for golf.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in August, Adam confirmed the sequel was happening and said: ‘We’re getting ready to shoot it in New Jersey in a couple of weeks.’

He then added: ‘It’s good, we worked hard on this script man, we didn’t wanna let anybody down. People have been asking me for a long time, “Do Happy Gilmore 2,” and I was always like, “Nah, I’ll only let you down,” but then me and my buddy we came up with an idea, we’re really excited about it.’
