Adam Sandler Gets Personal About George Clooney’s Kindness Toward His Family

Adam Sandler has long been praised as one of the most selfless people in Hollywood. That same tag can also apparently be applied to another one of the biggest names in the entertainment business—George Clooney.

Sandler reacted to sarcastic, yet heartfelt, comments Clooney made about him, in which he joked that Sandler was an "up-and-comer." Clooney went on to tell Access Hollywood that Sandler is a "really sweet guy, really gifted and really fun to work with.”

Sandler couldn't offer high enough praise for Clooney in his response to the clip.

"Absolutely. This guy Clooney takes you into his life, gives you everything. He was such a good man, him and his entire family. We hung out, we'd go to his home, he takes care of you, he takes care of everything," Sandler said.

"...His birthday is on my daughter Sadie's birthday, the same day, and he just made the whole day about Sadie. He threw a party for her, everyone was wishing George a happy birthday, and he'd say, 'and Sadie!' He'd just include my daughter in everything."

It was a great back-and-forth revealed involving the duo, and Sandler didn't skip a beat when speaking highly of Clooney.As seen above, the moment the initial clip was over, theHappy Gilmore 2star immediately shifted the praise back to Clooney.
