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 donned a patterned blue shirt, yellow tinted glasses and a black waistcoat which has Hal’s name badge pinned to it.

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.’
