This completely explains why he keeps his friends close and in all his movies, he never got over losing chris at such a young age

[@rachit]

@Jody Schmuckatelli I pray your best friend is resting happy and rocking on

[@heygoodbyee]

Jody Schmuckatelli I hope you’re finding peace and may your friend Rest In Peace 💙

[@plainOldFool]

People give Sandler crap for the quality of his movies, but specifically casts his friends like Meadows, Spade and Schneider as an excuse to keep together. I heard "Grown Ups" was basically a working vacation for them.

[@mpi9328]

He's a real friend

[@michaelnutt8755]

How could he? I was a huge Chris fan growing up and I still haven't gotten over it.

[@pveqnrt]

I love the fact that people will slam Sandler for making films the way he does. He doesn't make films for ratings he makes them because he gets to fuck around with his buddies. We'd do the same.

[@brandycavazos6078]

I love his movies... Of all the movies I've seen, it's his I remember and enjoy the most 🥲

Pretty sure he makes them to make four billion dollars.

[@bellabear653]

He never forgot his friends and made sure they had success as well you have to respect that even if you don't like his movies.

[@seanmatthewking]

I love many of his early films. Maybe it’s because I grew up with them I don’t know. At some point his movies definitely became a joke tho. But he gets paid millions to bulls- around with his friends, so I guess it’s not that surprising he keeps making them lol

[@melvinsmiley5295]

Bittersweet I am sure

[@lordalessan]

According to the Chris Farley documentary, Chris felt depressed and alone no longer being part of the SNL group after they were let go and for good reason. Lorne felt that Chris and Adam were ready to be famous on their own and wanted others to shine, but Chris couldn’t handle being independent. I wish he knew how much Adam wouldve kept trying for him.

[@GatCat]

I’ve heard that complete crap about not meeting your heroes...I met Chris Farley. He’s not a hero, but he was my favorite comedian when I was younger. As I approached his table I thought I had made a mistake. I was only 10 years old and 6 men were looking at me, with disdain. Aside from one. The annoyed look on everyone’s face at that table had paralyzed me, however this feeling was completely washed away as Chris Farley sprang up from his seat, fully animated, putting his out towards mine and shaking my hand. I don’t remember every second of that moment, but I will always remember how Chris Farley took a few minutes to give me his full attention. With a smile and a laugh in his voice, he asked me what kind of autographs I wanted.

@Jennifer Arigo who happened to be one of his best friends. Yes, Chris Farley brought upon his own demise and there are serious lessons to learn about not living in "the fast lane", and practicing prudence, as well as learning self control. I've had friends who have committed suicide, far too many who have overdosed (it still hurts, sometimes more than if they were to have died of sickness/natural reasons). That being said, yes, dying because of vice isn't the same as an innocent child dying of cancer (I agree with that) but regardless it was a person who died way too young who was loved more than he knew by so many. So yes, Farley ended up dying directly because of the lifestyle he chose to live. But he was still someone's son, someone's brother, and someone's best friend. No matter the cause a light to so many people was extinguished far too soon. His parents, siblings, and friends have a void where Chris used to be no matter if he brought it on himself.

[@NomadAngie]

Definitely! Adam worked hard and now he can afford to fly his friends (Spade, Covert, Swardson) anywhere in the world to make the movies he wants to make, and not care about box office numbers or critics. He's one of my comedy heroes, and I hope he's just as nice as a person.

@@BaldMancTwat I dont get why people would want to see the body of a loved one after his death. I made this mistake when my brother died at 40 and saw him to say goodbye (I was 25). I regret it until this day, 15 years later. The last image I have of my brother is a lifeless body who doesnt even look like him and I try everything to forget that image. but yeah well, some people need this, I strongly advise anyone not to do it and keep an image of a loved one in mind when he/she was still alive. I still remember going into that room and there was this nice dressed corpse lying there and I was like "wtf? who is this dead stranger?" then it hit me and its burned into my memory forever.

[@attemptedwriter826]

@@bepowerification my mom died of colon cancer 6 years ago. I'm an only child and she never wanted kids. She loved me as much as she knew how to and never asked for me towards the end. But I was forced to come out. I'd had a good goodbye with her a couple of months prior (we lived 1200 miles away from each other). I was content with it and respected it if she was too. She always kept me at arm's length until the end. It's hard to say how I'd feel if I hadn't been there when she died. But at no point did I feel welcome or that I should be there. I'm sorry you have that image and feeling burned into your head because I know how it feels. Sometimes seeing them when they are still themselves is the best for all involved.
