In Friday’s “Blended,” Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore once again pair up on-screen. This marks the third time they’ll fall in love, following “The Wedding Singer” and “50 First Dates.”
Here’s why the two pals love teaming up.
She’s ‘the Rob Ford to his crack cocaine’
In February, the two actors appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s show to sing a song about getting back together every 10 years.
Sandler’s wife loves Barrymore
“It’s like, the best thing is that my wife loves Drew so much that she, like, encourages me,” Sandler told Ellen DeGeneres, after joking that the best part of working with the actress was making out with her. “There’s no jealousy at all. She’s just like, ‘Get in there!’ ”
“If we’re not being romantic enough, she’ll berate you on-camera!” added Barrymore.
They have great chemistry
When asked by Robin Roberts why their chemistry is so great, Sandler replied, “We’ve known each other a long time. Who knows? But I do love that girl, Drew. She’s a sweetheart, and she’s like family.”
She likes that he’s a nice guy
“He doesn’t have a mean-spiritedness to his comedy or to his nature. We both really care about goodness.”
She makes him look cooler than he is
