Adam Sandler isn’t exactly known for tragedy.
“I was so nervous every time,” Sandler told"60 Minutes"in 2019.
The guitar became an iconic part of Sandler’s stand-up routines.
His musical career extended to his films, most notably the ’90s rom-com classic “The Wedding Singer.”
His characters deal with their fathers' deaths in “Reign Over Me” and “The Cobbler.”
And the losses those movies incurred sank the relationship between Sandler and the studio.
There’s behind-the-scenes beef too.
Some executives, including Sony co-chair Amy Pascal, were outed in an email hack (remember that?)
“Adam is an asshile,” Pascal wrote, spelling errors and all (viaThe Daily Beast).
When Sandler came ringing to pitch a comedy Western, Pascal and her studio balked.
Sandler shopped his Western all over town until finally, Netflix bit.
The issues accumulated over the course of a long career.
“I did ‘Spaceman’ and I was hanging in harness all the time.
I kept saying, ‘Something’s going on with my hip, man.
I’m in trouble.'”
He got an X-ray, which led to hip replacement surgery.
There go his odds of ever becoming the next James Bond.
Nanny Deanne McDonald was hired in 2009, likely helping to raiseSandler’s two daughters.
But she rescinded the agreement, turning around and suing the company in 2013.
