Rapper Eminem has reportedly won himself a role in new Adam Sandler film Funny People. The 36-year-old rapper, who has previously appeared in his own film 8 Mile, will now star alongside the funnyman in the new flick, directed by Judd Apatow.

Apatow said: "I was scared to pitch jokes to him, then I realised his songs are as nasty as anything that has ever been spoken. "There is no way to offend him." Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers III, will star in the new film alongside Sandler, Eric Bana, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Jason Schwartzman, Sarah Silverman and Leslie Mann.
