Drew Barrymore continues to praise her unparalleled on-screen chemistry with Adam Sandler, celebrating their longstanding partnership in Hollywood.
During a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the 49-year-old actress and talk show host shared that Sandler remains her favorite on-screen kiss, a testament to their deep-rooted connection that transcends typical romantic pairings in Hollywood.
The beloved duo has starred in three hit romantic comedies: The Wedding Singer (1998), 50 First Dates (2004), and Blended (2014). Barrymore attributes their success to more than just romantic appeal, emphasizing that their relationship is built on mutual respect and friendship.
“I love that Adam Sandler and I share a truly platonic bond,” Barrymore expressed. “We never dated, and his wife Jackie is one of my closest friends.”
She further elaborated on their dynamic, stating, “I love acting alongside him because we represent something more than just passionate, physical chemistry. We symbolize genuine admiration and appreciation for one another.”
Their collaboration began with The Wedding Singer, a film that became a cult classic and set the stage for their future projects together. Six years later, they reunited for 50 First Dates, a unique romantic comedy centered around love and memory loss. A decade later, they charmed audiences again with Blended, a heartfelt story about two single parents who unexpectedly find love after an awkward blind date.
Off-screen, Barrymore and Sandler have remained close friends for decades, consistently supporting each other. In a February 2024 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Barrymore opened up about their enduring friendship.
“We’re incredibly close. We talk all the time, we text constantly, and we make sure to stay in each other’s lives,” she shared.
Their remarkable bond, both on and off-screen, continues to resonate with audiences, proving that some Hollywood partnerships go far beyond the movies. Fans continue to hope for another collaboration between these two beloved stars, eager to see them bring their undeniable magic to the big screen once again.
