Adam Sandler
Last year, Adam Sandler was caught in the nepotism controversy after he shared the screen with his real-life teenage daughters, now 18-year-old Sadie and 15-year-old Sunny in his film You’re So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah.
Casting the teenagers reignited the debate about Hollywood nepo-babies and director Sammie Cohen, whose company Happy Madison also produced the film, came to Adam Sandler’s defense.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, she said: “Sandler has a reputation for making movies with his friends, and that’s something we all want to do.
“What I say is, he’s still making movies with his friends, but they’re his kids. He is the kind of dad who’s also your best friend.
“When it comes to the sort of chatter we’re hearing online, I don’t really think twice about it because I’m going like, ‘Yeah, he’s doing the same thing he’s always done’.”
