Sandler almost worked together long
before they teamed up to make 2011 just

meeting with Saturday Night Live creator
Lorne Michaels oh my god as Aniston as
she about to be on our show

join the legendary live comedy series
but she turned it down as it turned out
Aniston snagged her role as Rachel
Greene on friends not long after he's
gonna do that friends what the hell is
friends she later explained to Oprah
that Saturday Night Live was in her
words a boys club but walking away from
a role on such a huge show wasn't easy
Aniston's career path might have been
very different if she'd taken a role on
Saturday Night Live instead but they
thought I was making who worked out it
were yeah people like that one Aniston
and Sandler aren't just co-stars they
have a solid friendship which spans over
three decades in fact they're so close
at this point that they feel like family
it's been like real family in in another
life very yes absolutely very so
comfortable with each other and she
knows my family real and I know John's
family when Sandler presented Aniston
with the people's icon award at the 2019
People's Choice Awards
he left the actress in tears according
to E news Aniston said of Sandler speech
Adam when did you get so mushy oh my god
I love this man with all my heart this
is one of the kindest human beings
you'll ever meet she later told the
publication I literally known him for 30
years we're family am i crying
she also explained that she was so
emotional over Sandler speech because in
her words Adam doesn't do this kind of
stuff so that's why that's just the true
sweetness and friendship having starred
in two romantic comedies together
Aniston and Sandler have had to get up
close and personal as actors but that
doesn't mean they enjoy it while
promoting their Netflix movie murder
mystery the comedians gave a joint
interview and proved they have a sense
of humor when it comes to filming love
scenes according to the Associated Press
Aniston revealed I did have him learn to
oil the beard up a little bit
Sandler's wife Jackie co-starred in the
movie too which led to some hilarious
and potentially cringe-worthy moments on
set when she and their two children were
watching as Sandler explained the only
awkward part is hearing my wife on the
side going harder harder kisser harder
deeper they watched the kissing they
loved it they loved Aniston and they
want her to have good things and they
say give her something nice Aniston
confirmed that having cheerleaders on
set was a little awkward but she also
said that she likes a man's beard to be
conditioned the fact that Sandler and
Aniston are like brother and sister
obviously made filming kissing scenes
even more awkward Sandler told Oprah
when we were romantic we were ad-libbing
Jennifer was very uncomfortable and
scenes with her brother
I'm brother Lee to her so a brother
being that close she started ad living
like let me say something funny because
your big nose is about to hit me like
all close friends Sandler and Aniston
regularly share things with one another
and that includes private jets in an
interview with extra TV Aniston revealed
that for her 50th birthday a group of
her friends decided to surprise the
actress with a secret getaway however
the trip didn't go according to plan and
their plane lost a tire forcing them to
turn around and make an emergency
landing
but the potentially terrifying moment
wasn't enough to stop Sandler from
taking a trip of his own the next day
Aniston revealed the plane landed and
Adam took it to Hawaii the next day same
plane
he literally texted me the next day and
he was like thanks for your broken plane
when quizzed by the host as to why he
felt safe getting
Aniston's broken plane sandler joked
Lord would not take away the Sandman the
star of the morning show might regularly
gush about how much he adores Sandler
but there's one thing that Aniston
doesn't love about the comedian and
that's his wardrobe in an interview on
The Ellen DeGeneres Show Aniston
discussed shooting Netflix's
murder-mystery with Sandler on location
in Italy when Ellen asked Aniston what
her co-star had warned to dinner at
George Clooney's house Aniston replied
well Adam doesn't have really a great
wardrobe but he doesn't care that's his
thing actually he loves it the actress
went on to praise Sandler's wife Jackie
for comparison saying she's always
dressed gorgeous when Ellen showed the
audience a photo of Sandler looking
seriously casual in a pair of baggy
shorts Aniston quickly replied I'm not
kidding okay wait those are the shorts
basically when it comes to their
friendship Aniston is the one with the
fashion smarts like most people Sandler
is a big Jennifer Aniston fan and he
especially admires the hard work she
puts into her craft as he told access
online in 2011 it's a beautiful
beautiful thing
Jennifer works hard she eats right you
know she does she never snacks on the
stuff i snack on just go with it was
shot on location in Hawaii which meant
that a lot of the cast wore bikinis and
Aniston's hard work really paid off as
she revealed to access online I just was
feeling pretty confident and I kept in
good shape and you know I felt pretty
alright with everything however Sandler
still couldn't resist making the odd dig
about his beautiful co-star and told The
Hollywood Reporter in 2019 I got better
over the years and I think jennifer is
struggling to stay with my chops but I
think ultimately she'll get there the
next time as usual these two love
nothing more than a joke at each other's
expense Aniston and Sandler are well
aware that they have a very easy
chemistry with one another thanks to the
fact that they've been friends for such
a long time having already collaborated
on 2011 just go with it getting back
together again for 2019 s murder mystery
was apparently very
Easy of her rapport with her co-star
Aniston told Fox News it's literally
like riding a bike it's like riding a
bike it kind of just comes back because
it is a very specific dialogue we have
and a sort of sense of humor that we
have together sometimes inside sometimes
very outside and it's always good when
it falls inside Sandler confirmed that
they couldn't help but tease one another
during filming regularly going off
script and ad-libbing their insults he
told Fox News full attack full attack we
go on sometimes she comes after the poor
Sandman Aniston defended herself and
revealed it's fun to try to make him
break in a scene that's usually a good
sign the actress also confirmed the
amazing chemistry she had with Sandler
on the set of just go with it
telling access online in 2011 we had as
we call it a nice tennis match we all
know that Aniston and Sandler crossed
paths very early on in their careers but
their very first meeting wasn't what
you'd expect in their may 20 19
interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live Aniston
revealed that they met at a Jerry's deli
back in the early 1990s one of my
buddies and Jennifer were dating and we
had breakfast together it's clearly a
story they love telling in 2010 when
Edison and Sandler were filming just go
with it
Sandler opened up about the first time
he met his co-star speaking to
Entertainment Tonight
Sandler said we met at Jerry's deli
through a bunch of mutual friends
we shared meals together I watched
Aniston eat just as Aniston is the
fashionable one in the friendship she's
also apparently the sociable one -
Sandler revealed on The Ellen Show in
2019 every time I'm with Jennifer
something great happens because she's
very everybody loves Jennifer and I tend
to stay at home and do nothing and my
wife is so much going why didn't I marry
Aniston why am I stuck with you man
because I literally will even in Italy
she's like I'm telling you we got to
leave the room man
and according to Sandler during a night
at George Clooney's house in Italy he
ended up sitting next to Bono because of
Aniston in the same interview Sandler
also called Aniston's house parties
incredible but the comedian explained
that he's more comfortable having a
quiet night in at home than he is
socializing
and he'd rather spend time with his wife
and kids than go out anywhere Aniston
and Sandler are so close that they've
even on occasion gone shopping together
during an interview with 98 FM in 2011
the pair discussed filming just go with
it
which involved them going on a shopping
trip to shoot a makeover montage in the
movie while they were in one store
Sandler enlisted Aniston's help she
explained
I was picking out in Gucci this
beautiful slingback shoe and Adam was
like come on pick a pair out for Jackie
because I want to get her something nice
Sandler confirmed that he was a fan of
Aniston's fashion smarts and said you
come home and say Aniston said these
would be nice and it's gonna work in the
household basically Aniston has
impeccable taste and Sandler's wife is
also a fan of the actresses style of the
shopping excursion for his wife's shoes
Aniston joked he's gonna get a brownie
point and then some just like the rest
of the world Sandler is ready for a
friend's reboot or reunion during an
interview with people now Sandler
proclaimed friends was a powerhouse
everybody on Friends is excellent
everybody likes them America the world
loves the cast so for God's sake make a
movie for everyone Aniston couldn't help
but laugh at her friend's request and
replied that was so mafia of you earlier
in the interview Aniston herself had
teased the fans are excited they're
excited whether you say no maybe or yes
so I felt like it was fun to mix it up

plans for a reunion special seemed
unlikely but the following month friends
fans everywhere Sandler included were
likely thrilled when The Hollywood
Reporter confirmed that the reunion is
happening and will be available in May
