Bad Bunny considers Adam Sandler familia.

In an interview with Rolling Stone published on Monday, Jan. 13, the "Monaco" singer spoke briefly about working with Sandler, 58, on the upcoming comedy Happy Gilmore 2.

When asked if he vibed with the Billy Madison star, Bad Bunny, 30, said "Pshhh. That’s my uncle. Adam Sandler is my uncle." He then showed the reporter his text message inbox which featured Sandler listed as "Tío Sandler."

"He’s Tío Sandler. He’s super nice," he added. It was announced in September that Bad Bunny would be joining the sequel to the 1996 comedy, as per The Hollywood Reporter.

Bad Bunny, whose album Debí Tirar Más Fotos came out on Jan. 5, had filmed Caught Stealing directed by Darren Aronofsky and Happy Gilmore 2 back-to-back.

The rapper said they were very different projects. "But I enjoyed that — I like that they were so different. And I can’t wait for them to come out for people to say, 'Whoa.' I think with the projects coming up, I can focus more on only making movies."

Along with Sandler and Bad Bunny, Happy Gilmore 2's star-studded cast includes Travis Kelce, Ben Stiller, Julie Bowen, Margaret Qualley and Christopher McDonald.

Elsewhere in his conversation with Rolling Stone, Bad Bunny spoke about pursuing acting. "I’d do it," he said. "I’m always going to make music, but I’d spend some time just making films and dedicating myself to acting.

"I think the way I worked it out, when those two movies get released — when people see them, they’ll say, 'Wow, this guy is really acting.' Because it’s two different movies, two different parts, two different people."
