During an episode of the Happy. Sad. Confused. podcast, Adam Sandler spoke about his upcoming Safdie Brothers film and a potential team-up with filmmaker Todd Field.
However, what tickled my fancy most was about the interview was Sandler admitting that Daniel Day-Lewis loved “Uncut Gems” so much that he now regularly texts and hangs out with him.
“He’s the best, he texted me some funny shit today. He really is hysterical,” Sandler said. “It’s exciting, every time I talk to him, I love him so much, and I’ve hung out with him, and even when I eat with him, just eating he makes food feel succulent, he chews cool.”
This is a story that puts a smile to my face. Sandler and Day-Lewis seem to be having a bromance going on. Day-Lewis does have great taste, “Uncut Gems” is a masterpiece.
