As someone who has met Adam numerous times, I can surely say, this man is a gem. He's super great to his fans and he goes out of his way for people. We love you Adam!

[@BenRapoport]

Where’d you meet him???

[@sarahmanget6330]

The great Adam Sandler actually sent me a autograph

[@sarahmanget6330]

I Totally understand what you're saying and Totally agree with you👍❤❤💜💜

[@sarahmanget6330]

I'm so gellous and so wish I was you.Meeting him Adam would be so very out of this world 🗺.

[@jacksonabernathy4211]

you say that becuase he;'sa man you had a crush on in your childhood! don't get on here if you don't have anything that need to be said about him dumba''! [in a bad way i mean].

[@blacknightovo23]

Adam sandler is always repping small business or a cause when it comes to his clothing choices. I have major respect for him. He knows he is a walking billboard and uses it for small businesses or charity rather then Corporate conglomerates. Hats off

[@taylorewalters]

it's really cool. I just looked them up & the hoodie is totally sold out. what an amazing thing for this business.

[@mrsr003]

He’s one of my favorites! So funny and talented, yet still down to earth!

[@mrsr003]

Jimmy should have had Adam’s girls come over to sit with them!

[@mrsr003]

Awesome!

[@zyourzgrandzmaz]

He either wears classic sports attire or some sort of charity or small businesses clothing. And the reason all his movies have the same people is he's always getting his friends a paycheck. Genuinely one of the best people to ever live.

[@raiders3417]

Does anyone else turn to Adam sandler films when your down and depressed and need a laugh 😆

[@danquam4]

Really never found him funny and his moves sucked. Found him predictable in his moves and condescending

[@danquam4]

He is the most unfunny person, never liked any of his moves. U must be a Hollywood junkie thinking if u say nice things about a person u never met u have a connection.

When he is attending a function with his wife he is always wearing a suit and looks impeccable because he is a gentleman.

Love adam.. he's always so humble and just so real...

[@JonathanNelsonOfficial]

He’s always playing with little boys. He shared that on Ellen. Remember that show that got cancelled with the background matching Epstein island temple?

[@zachhaywood1564]

He seems like the kind of guy you just want to sit down and have a beer with. Down to earth and able to make you laugh on the spot.
