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.

[@myawoods1435]

I will forever love this man. So effortlessly himself. Refreshing. Normal.

[@JonathanNelsonOfficial]

Refreshing pervert. Loves pizza.

[@nimflower]

100% same ❤️

[@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.

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.

[@claudiagisolfi1665]

Such a sweet, genuine man. A true mensch.

Wow!

suhhhhhh

Wow that's just insane and honestly I'd dress like him too I don't really don't like suits either I'd dress casual

I love Adam Sandler he's a national treasure

[@kimmathis1945]

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

He's incredibly humble and way too cool ... I love him omg

We're nearing the "promised" 10 year mark of the "every 10 years" team up with drew and adam, soooo yeah.

[@aghurl7995]

He is so humble.

[@bryacos18]

I love the simplicity of Adam

[@anavigueras9919]

I just have to say, as someone who also grew up in New Hampshire, he totally embodies the sweetness, humour, and family spirit that is so common in new Hampshire it's adorable

[@teytonion]

I hope he wins an Oscar someday

[@treffenxp]

For his awesome work in grown ups? Little nicky? The man cant act lol

[@deborahwilson4684]

@@treffenxp I agree. Waterboy was good. Loved Wedding Singer-but I think it's bc Carrie Fisher wrote it- & Drew Barrymore was wonderful in it. Sandler basically plays the same character in his movies--Passive/ Aggressive.

When it comes to Movies it’s definitely Adam Sandler he’s one of the funniest comedians of all time.

Always loves when Adam sander come on the show because it just seems like two mates having a conversation and not an interview.

Adam Sandler is my #1 celebrity crush! I just adore him and when deployed to Iraq I watched 50 First Dates over 100 times 🥰 “This is not Dolly Parton” 😂

So you watched 50,000 dates?? 😊 [Thank you for serving!]

[@mariapires7170]

We all know, why Mr Sandler hasn´t won an Oscar yet! Because he doesn´t belong to the "Hollywood´s entourage" and he is not a Yes man" to these horrible people. Thank you Mr Sandler for being who you are, a magnificient person and a amasing actor.
