Adam Sandler has a bit of fatherly advice for his daughters — especially when it comes to the rough and tumble of Hollywood. At the premiere of his new Netflix special, Adam Sandler: Love You, the 57-year-old revered comedic genius shared why he advised his girls to skip the show.
“I do curse a lot,” Sandler confessed to E! News on Tuesday, August 20. He continued, “I apologize to many, many people out there, especially my family. They don’t need to know those words exist.”

While the 50 First Dates actor’s wife Jackie joined him at the event, held at The Plaza Hotel in NYC, daughters Sadie, 18, and Sunny, 15, sat out the screening.
“They can see a couple parts of it. I don’t throw it on for them too quickly. In fact, they’re not coming tonight. They’ll see me at the party after. But I said, ‘You don’t need to see this one,” Sandler explained.
The movie icon also shared pearls of wisdom about navigating their budding interests in acting. “I tell them to make sure you feel good about what you do and how hard you worked, and you judge yourself,” he said during an interview with People in 2023. “Don’t let too many people try to get in your head. If you feel like you gave it your all, that’s all you can ask.”
Sandler isn’t just the face you see on screen — he’s also the brains behind the scenes. Running the show at Happy Madison Productions, he crafts the movies that hit the screens. This hands-on approach means he gets to blend work with family life, often bringing his loved ones along for the ride in his film projects.

Last year in August, the Sandler bunch starred in Netflix’s You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah. “What’s really funny is, right before we started prepping for the film, Sunny had her actual bat mitzvah,” the movie’s director, Sammi Cohen, told People at the time. “So, I went to that service, and we got to do the real-life bat mitzvah and then left to make the movie. It was a really fun life movie moment.”
