Amid all the roles that Adam Sandler can fit in perfectly, a man in a suit is not one of them. In a recent revelation, the 59-year-old actor admitted that he does not like wearing suits at all, something he had to do extensively during the promotion of Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly, where Sandler stars alongside George Clooney.
Adam Sandler talks about wearing suits
Adam Sandler and costar Laura Dern recently talked to Entertainment Tonight about their new film, Jay Kelly.
Before the interview began, Sandler revealed that he had to wear more suits than usual during the press tour for his new film. “It’s been horrendous,” the actor admitted. “I don’t like the feeling.” The actor is frequently seen in casual and baggy clothes throughout the year.
“I think I only have three different suits, and one of them I don’t like,” he continued. “I can’t stand the pants,” he said, further revealing that he does not like any part of the suits. He added, “I can’t stand the jackets, the stupid shirts. Hate them all.” Even when he received compliments on his look, he said, “No … Thank you.”
The discussion around Adam Sandler and suits is not new. Earlier in the press tour, George Clooney, his co-star in Jay Kelly, said that he had been making Sandler wear more suits. “I actually [have] been making Adam wear suits,” Clooney told PEOPLE in a red carpet appearance in September, “Don’t you think he looks nicer instead of those big baggy shorts?”
But it seems that Sandler will never enjoy wearing suits, even if it makes him look good.
Jay Kelly had its world premiere in the main competition of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on August 28, 2025. It was also nominated for the Golden Lion. The film will release in select theaters on November 14, 2025, followed by a worldwide Netflix release on December 5, 2025.
