Los Angeles, Feb 7 (NationPress) Actress Drew Barrymore has shared insights about her onscreen chemistry with her close friend and Hollywood icon Adam Sandler.
The 49-year-old actress discussed this on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” revealing that her top onscreen kiss is with Sandler, with whom she has appeared in three beloved films: The Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates, and Blended.
Barrymore expressed that what they convey in their films represents a deeper bond than typical romantic tales, according to reports from people.com.
“I mean, I love that Adam Sandler and I are so platonic. We never dated; his wife Jackie is a dear friend of mine,” she stated.
She added: “But I cherish being in movies with him because I believe we symbolize something greater than mere physical attraction. We embody the genuine admiration for one another.”
Their first collaboration was in The Wedding Singer, where Barrymore played Julia, a bride-to-be, and Sandler portrayed Robbie, a wedding singer. They reunited six years later for 50 First Dates, featuring Sandler as Henry, a veterinarian in Hawaii attempting to win over Barrymore's character, Lucy, who suffers from short-term memory loss.
In 2014, the duo worked together again in Blended, where their recently single characters embark on a disastrous blind date.
Their friendship has endured for decades, with Barrymore telling Entertainment Tonight in February 2024, “We’re incredibly close. We text frequently and meet up often.”
She expressed her desire to collaborate with Jennifer Aniston, who has also co-starred with Sandler in multiple films, including Just Go With It (2011), Murder Mystery (2019), and Murder Mystery 2 (2023).
Aniston echoed this sentiment, proposing that the three of them join forces to “put an end to this competition,” which reportedly refers to the debate over who has starred with Sandler the most.
