He started with a hunch, but when Paul met Adam on the set of Little Nicky, he said that he wanted to work together and make a movie together. He was excited and he got to work and even though it was new territory, it didn't take much for Adam to convince him that you were instantly ready to do this. Yeah, I was instantly into Paul, he wrote that movie for me and I thought, oh yeah, I think I could. Do that, I was nervous, but there was no way I was going to say I'm not going to do this.

Yes, for every 10 products you purchased and mailed, they sent you a certificate for 500 miles, which is a true story. The guy went and bought thousands and thousands of dollars worth of putt, that was equivalent to a million frequent flyer miles. How much did this cost? the rest of your life, so that helped, but the main impulse was wanting to write something for Adam, it's crazy, let's go to the bathroom. Do you see this as a critical moment for you and are you anxious about how you will be received? I don't wonder why I, I mean, I love movies like this, but what the hell am I going to do in this world?

It's a new chapter, I guess it's a new chapter. I'm happy to have met this guy. I was excited to try to accomplish something. I haven't really done that before you did it here, honey, watching football, who do you want to win the damn Jets? Her 1999 comedy, Big Daddy Adam, cost actress Jackie the tone. Too bad you don't like girls. I think you could have done it. She and Adam took their shorts. I was getting ready to do Big Daddy and she was starting to act. How's social life going with big changes? I heard that yes, you have a new girlfriend.

I have a girlfriend now. Yes, I read in the newspaper. Had one. fiance but I don't have a girlfriend, yeah I have a girl, I have a girl and I fell in love with her pretty quickly. Jackie appears again the following year in Little Nicky and in 2002 she stars alongside Adam's Family in Eight Crazy Nights. Growing old with you and in June 2003 the two had gotten married, they put on a ring now the wedding is very interesting was your dog the best yes, yes, he was not the best man, he took out the rings, he got a girlfriend.

A house has a girl in the house Yes, do you realize that you are becoming like your dad? my dad is like a real boy he is a real man a big man with a great personality my dad and I were incredibly close yes my father in real life was very respected in my house and we lived by his rules . I love my dad more than anything and, uh, anything he told me to do, I would do. I used to love any comedian. The life of my father and my mother. I'd say, "Oh God." I want to be like that guy who is making my dad happy just three months after his marriage in September.

Adam said goodbye to his father Stanley Sandler. I was very close to my dad when he was sick. I was with him as much as I could. That's why You are here right now to protect me, to be afraid, to be a good father. I would always tell my friends that they didn't lose his father. You better spend time with them telling them it will shake you up. I love you son.

I was your roommate in college, for God's sake, don't you remember me, yeah, very good, very good, good to see you, Burrows. es Johnson in 2007, Adam's experience with grief had changed him artistically.

I understand that they are hurting, but they turned on each other about me. Adam's character deals with the trauma of losing his wife and daughters in a plane crash along with the suffering of Don Cheadle Sandler. It's heartbreaking, you had a family and suffered a great loss, why are you asking me? Are you trying to focus me? And until you can discuss that, friends talk to each other about what's going on in their lives, we can really talk about it. All this is just an exercise as an actor. Are you trying to find some sense of balance between doing comedy and drama?

I had three daughters. How do you feel this film will take you in a more serious direction? It's not something I ever thought about doing this, it just happened, they loved me, Johnson, this script was so long, it was so well written and moving, it broke my heart and I thought, and I felt it at the same time, and then I I decided when I got engaged. Adam, generally one of the coolest takes was finding solace in handing over control to talented directors. Ultimately it was just Paul Thomas Anderson writing something to me when I'm with these great guys, it's kind of relaxing in a way knowing that they're not going to move on until they're happy.

You know, I've only done a few heavy roles and this is by far the heaviest and it's not an easy life for an actor who does that and I was, I'm more than happy to return to Comedy, just enjoy my life a little longer, maybe Adam had grown up a little, but growing up has to be so serious. 2010 Adam consolidates his return to family comedies, the adults are the culmination of a friendship group of almost 20 years. I always want to do things with these guys forever. You know, I prefer to be with people that I know and trust and who are ready to celebrate his funeral, so we do it to do it. we do everything together as a team it's summer we film it on a lake and that doesn't make you want to go crazy we live together in one place our houses are all close to each other we all have kids we all hang out together it's pretty good pretty good on set of his films Adam is adored but it makes up for the fact that it has never been widely accepted critics have said I'm going to read you my favorites critics have not necessarily always loved no your work this film is Adam Sandler's The Last Nail and the Coffin, another said who is no longer a movie star and someone else called you a man-child.

First of all, let me say thank you for dressing up for the show. I appreciate that Adam doesn't really have a big wardrobe, what a great outfit. Do you have Adam Sandler in this movie? Jack and Jill won a record 10 Razzies on Sunday night. What does this mean? It means I can't stand you being Rezzy for the worst movie of the year. What do you think when it comes? For Adam Sandler there is one thing we can't agree on and no one can agree on whether Adam Sandler is funny or not, it doesn't matter what the bugs say, do you care?, ah, you know, it doesn't matter much .

I know what they're going to say every movie they're going to say they don't like is something you pay to pinch it's something that bothers you I have a love in my life it makes me stronger than anything you I imagine he's not a man very family oriented in general, well let me start congratulations. I hear babies on the way and, better yet, I hear that it is absolutely yours. I'm addicted to it. I love being with him and, uh, when I'm not with them. I am very, very depressed. I believe in hard work and what I try to achieve, but what I want most is to be able to spend time with my family and give them a good childhood and be interested in just providing for your family.

Adam is able to turn off the noise and the bus. You know, when people talk about your career, they talk about these ups and downs and then the ups and downs and the Downs. I don't know what the Downs have been. I dedicated myself to acting in comedy. I tried to do the best I could. I loved all the movies I did. I have never called anything in my entire career. I also see a couple of graduates here today following my path and becoming five-time Razzie Award winners. Things don't hurt me anymore. I think it hurt me 20 years ago to try to make funny movies and try to make kids laugh.

That was my goal. If it happens, don't be angry. Call me and I will show you the right thing. way to laugh all the way to the bank I've been on a plane before you know it, we're just talking about that movie drunk love and this is a really nice thing for you, there's actually Oscar rumors, yeah, how do you you feel? that the Oscar thing the Oscar you know that's not that that's not very san leerian right now you're doing so well that you're actually starting your own production company Happy Madison Productions yeah the main goal of the company was to keep my friends employees first.

They don't, I don't, I can't go to the awards, they don't make a tuxedo out of number two sweatpants material, uh, if I buy some weird freak accident, I win the thing, uh, you know, I couldn't stand that. trophy home because I know my friends would cut off their heads and make them a bong. I was with Ben, he was out walking like a celebrity star and I went and visited him and told him we had to make a movie together, right? and I said Let's take my brothers, he said yes, I was thinking about that too.

He was disappointed that you gave up the piano and had a similar thought. Adam connected with something very deep in this guy, we were lucky, we got to do this together and it was deep, and that's what you know. You know, it was very moving for me, let's get together, shut up in 2017. Adam took his biggest step back into dramatic acting with Meyerwood Stories. Was this something you took on because it was a challenge or did you feel like it came naturally? progression at this stage of your life and career, it was just luck that this guy wrote an incredible movie and delivered it to me.

It's the most I've studied before a project. I read it and knew it was a great movie and so we did it. I didn't start filming until about five months later and I was studying my lines every night I just didn't want to let Noah down because I didn't want to let the guy down oh, it's our career, it's our life, it's movie to movie. I can't exactly say I'm going to do this next and then that's it, you don't know what's coming next. I'm coming with your new movie, uncut gems, your performance is crazy, part of what's going on, so I want the Celtics to cover.

I want Celtics halftime. I wanted to talk to you. Well, the guys who wrote the Safety Brothers, how amazing their material is and the fact that they wanted to work with me, it was exciting. I heard you repaved your pool. Do you know how? It makes me feel like this morning is too late. Should we be serious right now? I don't know, I just know well. I'll tell you what I know. It's the dumbest bed I've ever heard. From someone like Sandler, he can do everything. He's amazing so you know, we grew up with his comedy records, they wrote it for me like 10 years ago.

I don't agree, look me in the eyes and they'll tell you what I feel, let's take her clothes off man, this is something I have to do I think you're the most annoying person I've ever met. That's fine thanks. I'll see you again inside. Everything is good enough when I can make something like this as uncut gems.

I also want to thank my fellow nominees who will now and always be known as the guys who lost the Adam Saleh. I'm not trying to achieve something. I feel like I might be messing up a little bit and I think that's what drives me is that I'm a little bit obsessed with it, it comes your way, connect with it and you're gone, I'm not this, you seem to be attracted to these characters. who have bad luck, you could say losers, I enjoy it.
