Eminem Cameo in "Funny People"

Postby shadygeneral » May 16th, '09, 00:21

Eminem is everywhere now-adays, well at least it seems like it. Although he is currently at the start of his long-awaited return to the top of the music industry, Eminem is also returning to Hollywood. In the new issue of VIBE magazine, Eminem revealed that he recently shot a scene for the upcoming new movie from Judd Apatow ("Knocked Up," "The 40 Year Old Virgin") movie called "Funny People."

"I just did a cameo a few months ago with Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen in a Judd Apatow produced film," Eminem said. "It's called Funny People." In the new movie, Adam Sandler plays a famous comedian (what a strech) diagnosed with a life-threatening illness while Seth Rogen is an aspiring comedian who Sandler's character takes under his wing. The film is set to hit theaters on July 31st and will also star fellow rapper RZA, "Superbad" star Jonah Hill plus the always funny Sarah Silverman.

"I kinda do a little cameo in that," states Eminem, "which was fun by the way. And 8 Mile was not a fun movie to shoot." Slim Shady says the grueling production schedule of "8 Mile" may have contributed to his dependency on the prescription drug sleeping pill Ambien. "Will I end up doing another movie again?" he muses. "Probably yeah."

Eminem and Adam Sandler are actually friends, they play basketball together. It's probably how he got the cameo. I'm on my iPhone now so I can't post a link, but Sandler talked about them being friends in an interview a few years back.

I was on the IMDB boards for Funny People and a guy who saw a test screening of the movie said this about Em's role in the movie:

Yeah, the scene was a nice length. It was in with all of the other cameos as well. Not all of them, but most. The scene was in a bar. Eminem didn't really go nuts. He just talked to Sandler's character about not selling out, and then he sort of flipped out when Ray Romano, who was talking to Rogen's character, was staring at him from the other side of the room. LOL. It was very funny.

I tried to write song for you but nothing was good enough, so I'm dedicating them all to you-and you'd be happy to know that I spazzed out on 'em gain!I know you wouldn't have it any other way! Fuck 'em all--let's get 'em!
P.S. I'm sober now, I know you'd be proud. I love you Doody, I'll never forget you. Love, Doody "
