Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny sent fans into a frenzy this Sunday with a compelling Instagram post captioned, "December." Among the photos, the standout was a Christmas tree uniquely adorned with dominoes and a güiro, hinting at his cultural roots while playing a snippet that many believe is a preview of his next song.
But that's not all the enigmatic rapper had in store for his followers. The carousel also included an intriguing illustration of himself with soccer legend Lionel Messi, sparking curiosity about a potential collaboration. Adding to the surprise was a selfie featuring actor Adam Sandler, which connects to an exciting development—Bad Bunny is officially part of the cast of the upcoming "Happy Gilmore 2."
Bad Bunny Joins the Golf Course Fun
Behind-the-scenes photos from the "Happy Gilmore 2" set show Bad Bunny fully immersed in character as a caddy. Sporting a mini afro, goatee, a crisp white shirt, a black bowtie, and a red caddy bib, he's dressed for the movie's fictional Tour Championship golf event, as informed by TMZ.
Meanwhile, Adam Sandler reprised his iconic role as Happy Gilmore, rocking his signature Boston Bruins hockey jersey, baggy pants, and Timberland boots. Sandler celebrated one of the first days of production on Instagram. “It ain’t over. The way I see it… we’ve only just begun," he captioned the post.
Details about the plot of the upcoming film have not been disclosed. However, the original 1996 comedy featured Adam Sandler as a struggling hockey player who discovers his natural talent for golf, leading him to become a sensation in the sport. Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald will return to their roles as Virginia Venit, Sandler's love interest, and Shooter McGavin, the film's envious antagonist.
