While Bad Bunny dominates the music realm, he’s also carving his path in Hollywood.
On Monday (July 21) — in the midst of his ambitious 30-day residency in Puerto Rico — the artist born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio attended the Happy Gilmore 2 world premiere at the Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, where he joined the film’s protagonist, Adam Sandler.
In the sequel to the classic sports comedy film released in 1996, the Puerto Rican artist serves as Sandler’s caddie (or club-carrying assistant). Sandler, a hockey-player-turned-golfer, comes out of retirement to enter his first golf tournament in years.
“I haven’t swung a club in years. I’m a little intimidated, all these guys hit it big,” Sandler says in the official trailer while scenes show his supportive caddie cheering him on.
Happy Gilmore 2, set to hit Netflix on July 25 (29 years after Happy Gilmore premiered), is one of the many acting gigs that Bad Bunny has under his belt.
In fact, his acting debut arrived in 2021 when he had a supporting role as Arturo “Kitty” Páez, a new member of the Tijuana cartel, in the Netflix series Narcos: Mexico. “The character is a cool, young guy, and I’m a cool guy, I think so,” the artist previously said of his first-ever TV role on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He’s also had screen time on WWE SmackDown, WWE Monday Night Raw, and Saturday Night Live.
Now, with the upcoming premiere of Happy Gilmore 2, Billboard has compiled every movie Bad Bunny has been in. See the list below.
