The admirable friendship between Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, the girl nicknamed “bad girl”

Good friendship will always exist. That is the case of Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore , they met on a project more than 20 years ago and still have a beautiful, seemingly eternal friendship.

In the mid-1990s, Drew Barrymore’s career was not going as she had hoped. Although she was still offered roles in movies , Hollywood labeled her a “bad girl.” Meanwhile, Adam Sandler is the new kid on the block thanks to the movie Billy Madison.

Despite a long career in Hollywood, Drew no longer carries much weight in the industry. To meet Adam in person, get to know him and be able to talk to him about a project took her a lot of time. It was harder than she thought.

Drew manages to contact him, and Adam meets her at a coffee shop. They met, and that’s when Drew realized how different they were.

She said, “Apparently we weren’t considered as compatible as I thought we were because we looked like a preppy and a punk setting up a bad date. But I shook his hand enthusiastically, thanked him for meeting me, and began to present my case to him. I told him, for whatever reason, I knew we had to be a team.”

After a while, Adam found a script with potential and mentioned it to Drew. It still needs polishing, and Adam even helps polish it along with more comedians. They also had to find actors, and Drew was at the top of the list. When the director saw their chemistry, he decided to cast them as the film’s leads.

The photo shoot was fun and they really enjoyed it. Adam commented in an interview, “How bad can I be to sweet Drew?” In that same interview, they commented on the joy and honor of working together and their joy in being friends. The chemistry they have is evident in the film as well as at promotional events: always smiling and having a good time.

Adam also said that when he first met Drew, he thought she was a tough girl, in a good way, because she wasn’t intimidated. And he also expressed that her presence in the film helped the audience believe that he could play the male lead. He said, “The fact that Drew likes me makes it seem like girls are allowed to like me in movies.”

Their friendship continued to grow and after a few years, they co-starred in another romantic comedy called 50 First Dates . Drew read the script and found it simple, profound, emotional and romantic. She wants to be a part of the project that Adam’s production company bought. He eventually invited her to star and co-produce with him.

The film was released in 2004 for Valentine’s Day and grossed over $280 million at the box office. Once again, Adam and Drew have shown off their chemistry and acting talent in this type of project.

50 First Dates also wasn’t their last project together; years later, they decided to team up again and join forces for Blended . Their characters are growing along. They are parents now, and so are their characters.

In an interview, Drew confessed that she loves the team she formed with Adam. “It was the best team a girl could ask for,” she said. And we celebrate each other, and our lives, our real-life partners, and our kids. We watched each other grow up. Adam said that Drew has a special place in his heart and that he is very protective of her, and is grateful to be able to make another movie together.

You could tell right away that they were a good team, to the point where people started to wonder if they had ever tried to be anything more than friends, but they both said no. Drew stated clearly, “No, we never dated. It was pure affection. We are more like brothers and sisters.”

They have repeatedly said that their friendship does not go beyond, despite making romantic movies and many years of knowing each other. Drew believes that’s exactly why they ‘re still such a great couple, she says, “That’s probably why we’ve been able to stay together all these years because we’ve never Are there any awkward moments?

Adam Sandler has been married since 2003 to actress Jackie Sandler. According to the actor, his wife loves Drew very much and is not jealous.

He said, “We were doing a great romantic scene, and I thought I was doing a great job, and then said, ‘Okay, let’s go ahead, come on, that’s great, Drew. Good job.’ I was walking away, and I just saw my wife shaking her head, and she said, ‘For the sake of women, you look a little more alive.’

Drew and Adam often give each other affectionate words. They both have a lot of admiration for each other. At an awards ceremony, Drew was asked to introduce his friend, the nominee, and said, “I love this man so much and have always believed in him. I know everyone supports you because you have earned everyone’s respect. You deserve the best, you give it your all and you are the best. I love you very much”.

For his part, Adam also loves Drew very much. He remembered the day they met and how nice she had been to him, and how their friendship had grown over the years. He said, “Growing up with her will be a wonderful time. She has a great spirit, and I love her.”/.
