I always loved that Adam Sandler never forgot his friends and put them in his movies.

[@bigbigjohnlee666]

besides just being funny as hell! thats probably the one thing i like/ respect about him is he ALWAYS takes his friends might as well be family with him to be on every movie set, its almost if you want me in your movie these guys are in it too! man I tell ya I like that Im an old school cat and that hits home with me, top notch classy guy, and if i was worth 350 million bucks Id probably dress the same damn way

[@haterproof_0144]

Dude Adam Sandler wears Walmart clothes because I have that same jacket I bought at Walmart. I bet he’s such a down to earth guy on a personal level.

[@Sqoun]

and he could be stingy af!

[@topshots4u434]

I have met him irl and he was alone but he didn’t want to take pictures or say hi but maybe he’s sick of it. But still it’s whatever

[@Deathlynumb]

@@topshots4u434 you probably caught him on a bad day or something, hes human too.

[@Chaase]

@@topshots4u434 Imagine being as famous as he is and everyone wanting to do that with u, sometimes ur not in the mood to be social or take pictures :)

I'm pretty sure you just have the knockoff brand from Wal-Mart lol......kinda like if you and him also have a plain black T shirt his would be 100 dollars and yours would be 3.50 lol....btw just messing around don't take serious but I'm serious lol

[@Sentai7]

Adam Sandler is a great man. My nephew was and did die of cancer. He (thanks to make a wish foundation) his last wish was to meed Adam Sandler because he loved the movie "Big Daddy". Adam never met him because he was on his honey moon in Hawaii but Adam called him. It was a great moment!. I am forever great full for that.

[@thetaskmaster1278]

Sentai 7 I’m so sorry to hear about that man😩💯❤️I’m glad he called also!

[@Sentai7]

Thank you. Hey my nephew got his wish. I am thankful. :)

[@simbadraven5915]

Wow. That is amazing. Im soo sorry for your loss and im impressed by the strength of character Adam had to make that call when he didnt have to.

[@yeezywesty3651]

he called him from his honeymoon. what a guy. sorry to hear about your nephew, such a cruel world.

[@sunflowersinherhair5067]

your story made me tear up but that is great!!!

[@danabram]

I met Sandler in the 90s at a synagogue in New Hampshire. I was like 6 at the time and didn't know who he was, but he gave me this enthusiastic high five and made me feel awesome. And 20 years later I still have so much respect for this man.

its nice that his daughter is dressed appropriately for her age

What do you expect her to wear? A spiderman suit?

[@BrokenGodEnt]

She was only 9/10 here. Dressing more inappropriately starts at like 12-14.

[@jcperez2176]

One of the saddest things is watching Adam Sandler get old

[@anonymouscommenter4453]

I was just thinking this smh sign of mortality.

[@suzie5813]

It's awesome he hardly looks much older than back then

[@jasongamer9203]

Breaks my heart love him my favourite actor but he still looks good for his age

[@bethlovins3537]

I swareeeeee!!!

News flash, everyone around you is getting old including yourself, make the best of it while you can.

[@anthonytaylor7928]

I had just got custody of my son right when big daddy came out me being a single father I took my son to the movie theatre to c the movie and it was a big help to what we were going thru with my son being traumatized from being taken away from his mother my son is 23 yrs old now and doing well thanks Adam Sandler

[@adr5389]

so glad to hear that, tony. your son's just fortunate enough to have you around

[@PUN1SH3R438]

Woah man thats deep. Touches the heart strings.

[@justinlittle4534]

Being 20 years old and barely seeing my dad or talking to him, i can confirm that something so simple as a movie with Dad is one of the best things a Father and Son can do together.

[@vcvortex6356]

That's awesome man! My 9 year old son loves that movie. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@firstnamegreatestlastnamee8954]

Why am I crying in the club

[@Wanderingsoul263]

You honestly gotta love Adam. Hes such a chill, sweet, down to earth guy. Never shows off. Never acts pretentious in anyway. Just super chill guy. Why cant all celebrities act like this?!

[@jonathoncombs2553]

I met him in Austin a few years ago and he was eating(outside casual place). And place was dead and was with my sister and cousin and we grew up on his movies, together. We walked by and just said sorry to bug you and thank you so much for making us laugh and were just gonna keep walking to not big him. He said "hey hey come here. Wan't to get a picture?" We did...and i'll never forget how cool he was to us, he was no different than in this interview. I really really wanted to do the billy madison "SORRRYYYY TO INTERRUPT" thing but figure he got that all the time. His special was so good this week on Netflix. Was so nice to see. I'm going to watch it again soon.

[@100PercentDuelLinks]

Sandler is the best. Never shows off his money and keepin it real

[@darianoechslermgp]

@Compa Nacho more than you lol

[@ayayron360]

Met him once in Portland. Great guy, bought coffee for a couple homeless people and chatted with them too

[@espo7182]

I love him also. But people in Hollywood say that him, and Kevin James(who I also love) are real duchebags to work with. As far as his money, he's loaded. He has own personal office building(like a small house, like the rest of them are)in Universal Studios for is Happy Madison company. You have to big to get your own spot like that in Universal. Due to having the Happy Madison company, he gets paid for every movie to come out associated with it, not just his own. So he's loaded.

[@Daemon1995_]

"He doesn't have any" yet is making movies basically every year lmfao

[@drexmaverick]

Bought coffee for a couple homeless guys? The dude could buy whole buildings and give people jobs with his money.

[@thealaskanforever]

Who else cried during "Click"

[@picklemeister5351]

THAT RAIN SCENE!!

[@erkanyunis470]

The scene with his dad was pretty emotional

[@simbadraven5915]

I got choked up really badly during the scene when Adam had escaped from the hospital near the end and was dying in the rain. Oh my god!!! That was super intense trying to hold my composure during that. Powerful. Incredible.

[@simbadraven5915]

Yeah, and the scene with his dad when he makes him cry in his office at work. Jesus christ, that fuckin makes me unimaginably sad and angry. To put yourself in that position.

[@picklemeister5351]

Adam Sandler is one of the most underrated dramatic actors

[@mattboyer2756]

Agreed. He was fantastic in Punch Drunk Love.

[@amerhuzairy100]

Jack Witcombe he's going to star in another dramatic movie next year

[@keithbrockway5759]

I know!! Him and Daniel Day-Lewis are the tippy top dramatic actors of our time. "Waterboy" was the pinnacle of method acting for Hollywood. That Bobby Bouchea role will be studied for yrs to come (maybe generations) by all acting schools and students. "Thats some high-quality H20." --brilliant!

[@cynthiajackson7602]

I agree and he’s so funny

[@lefty3985]

In click when he loses everything and is about to die he plays that part really well
