However that is an particularly enjoyable pairing to witness, as a result of final 12 months, Chalamet was the topic of a light-weight roast from Sandler throughout an awards present final fall.
A couple of followers noticed Adam Sandler and the Dune star, together with some buddies, getting right into a 3-on-3 match at an outside basketball court docket within the Large Apple. Check out one picture posted publicly on Instagram by a fan:
The actors had been reportedly on the identical group too for the sport. The pair of actors truly go method again provided that they each starred within the 2014 film Males, Girls & Youngsters. Is it simply me, or do the pair seem like they may cross off as father and son in a basketball film?
Each actors are enormous and avid basketball followers, with Sandler even starring within the highly-rated Netflix film Hustle final 12 months, and Chalamet being noticed attending Lakers video games prior to now. Right here’s one other fan stopping to pose with Timothée Chalamet between the star-studded sport with Adam Sandler:
Now,to the roasting. So final fall, Adam Sandler earned a Profession Tribute award on the 2022 Gotham Awards. Throughout his acceptance speech, he did a enjoyable bit the place he learn a speech his daughters wrote for him to ship the place he quoted himself saying he would not deliver them alongside as a result of they’d be asking the place the Dune: Half 2 actor was all evening, in hopes of determining “how can we legally squeeze that high-quality Jewish ass of his.” Take a look at the section of the speech under:
Now Sandler’s point out of Chalamet that evening was all in good fu clearly, as he poked some enjoyable about how teenage women like his two daughters, who’re 14 and 16, fantasize about him, despite the fact that they’re after all underaged and Chalamet is in actuality 27 years outdated.

Contemplating the age hole between the 2, with Adam Sandler himself being 56, this isn’t the primary actor pairing we’d count on to be duking it out on the courts, however the pair clearly have identified one another for a very long time and could also be buddies.
