Mumbai, Jan 13 (NationPress) Hollywood actor Adam Sandler has made a bold declaration, promising to "create a minimum of 50 additional films before I kick the bucket" and confidently mentioned that "at least" half of those will be worth watching.

During his humorous acceptance address for the Career Achievement award at AARP's Movies for Grownups Awards, Sandler expressed gratitude towards his wife, Jackie Sandler, for "remaining by my side even when no part of my physique resembles what it used to be."

He humorously added: "I can’t predict how many years I have left - possibly 60, 70, or even 80 if I start exercising and consuming creatine. (Nonetheless), I assure everyone present tonight, I will produce at least 50 more films before my time is up - and at least 25 of those will be good."

Before receiving the award, Sandler, who began his film career with the 1989 comedy Going Overboard, was introduced by his long-time friend, actor and director Henry Winkler, before he took the stage for the prestigious award, as reported by femalefirst.co.uk.

Sandler commenced his jovial speech at the ceremony, which aims to combat ageism in the entertainment sector by honoring the achievements of creatives over 50. In his signature comedic style, he acknowledged his "silver-haired daddies and salt-and-pepper mommas".

He playfully remarked, "The Fonz is in attendance! Many have told me, ‘Sandman, this AARP Award indicates that you’re now old.’ To that, I respond, ‘It’s not just this award; I have 10 other reasons..."

Sandler continued: "When I sit down, it resembles a semi-truck rolling over a family of lobsters. Number three, I have just one taste bud left, and everything I consume now tastes like oatmeal, except for oatmeal, which tastes like Vaseline. Number four, the font on my phone is so large that my texts are visible to anyone seated by a window on a Delta flight."

He further shared: "At my high school reunion, I spent most of the evening saying, ‘I’m so sorry to hear that.’ None of my toenails match anymore. If I remove my socks, it looks like a collection of Crayola crayons.

"When I receive the Academy Awards screeners, despite pressing play on 44 different films, I can only manage to stay awake for a total of eight minutes. To everyone receiving accolades tonight, I must say I adore the first 30 seconds of all your works."

Sandler, who shares daughters Sadie, 19, and Sunny, 17, with Jackie, concluded by expressing his heartfelt thanks to his family for "embracing my silliness over the years, I love you."
