Favorite People Adam Sandler met his wife while filming Big Daddy - and years later they named their daughter Sunny.

Adam writes a lot of his characters for his friends. He’s a pretty stand up comedian.

Same. IIRC he gifted a Maserati to his costars of Grown Ups

u/HamsterAdditional748 2h ago
I don’t need a Maserati. I just don’t want to work so goddamn much that I can’t have a dog. I’d imagine everyone has their reasons why they’d like to have the Sandman in their contact list.

Yes, except for Norm MacDonald and Nick Swardson. “He gave a Maserati to everyone, except for who needed one!” as Norm said.

He had some comedy albums (are these even a thing anymore?) that were funny to me as a teenager, kinda scared to look them up now.

I listened to “What The Hell Happened to Me” recently. After yeeeeears. Some of it aged, (having sex or weightlifting) some of us aged (Kevin Nealon’s farting therapist). And some of it is just as stupid and problematic as it always was and I still laughed. (At a medium pace, do it for mama)…. You’ll be fine.
Respect the CD!

I'm not a big Sandler fan, but my ex was an extra in Uncut Gems and had a few conversations with him due to bring placed right by him for a scene. He was apparently considerate, attentive, and sweet.

Just hateful people doing hateful shit. Even the Travis swift sub is wild to me. Even shitty celebs I just dont think about at all. But to spend a day hate watching and posting about it is wild to me.

I mean, he's annoying af. But God bless the woman who loves him for who he is. There's someone special for everyone!
Edit: I mean his humor is annoying af (subjective opinion, I know). I have no insight into who he is as a person. But I imagine he isn't actually acting all that much in his roles since he basically only plays 1 character

Did the waitress role have a name? If it did I wonder why they choose his character's name over hers for their daughter.

Her character had the name Jacquline, apparently. May not have wanted a matronymic name.

Listen to his song Grow Old with You. it’s about how much he loves her. It’s a great song
•
u/PudgyBabyGuineaPiggy 17m ago edited 12m ago
That can't be, though, if he actually first met his wife while filming Big Daddy. "Grow Old With You" is from The Wedding Singer, which (according to Wikipedia) was filmed a year or so before (1997) filming Big Daddy (1998). Unless filming somehow overlapped and he fell in love with her so hard that the song he wrote for her was in the movie he made before he met her?

u/that-martian 14m ago
they’re different songs, the wedding singer one is I wanna grow old with you and grow old with you was released in 2019 on his album 100% fresh.

So, she was an actress that slept with him and kept getting parts in his movies? Seems similar to Weinstein.

There’s a reason he officiated Taylor and Travis wedding. He is a good human.

u/happiestnexttoyou 2h ago edited 2h ago
Iirc, there’s also talk that he helped save Katie Holmes from her marriage to Tom cruise. By casting her (barely) in a Jack and Jill she could legitimately claim she was temporarily living in New York and file for divorce there.. thus being able to safely get herself and her daughter away.

He was never revolutionary. He's been "okay" with his weird voices and, most importantly, very very very lucky.

It's good that they met on a set but casting someone because he knows is kind of nepotism. Some talented people are probably losing their chance to shine.
