Drew Barrymore reveals that she and Adam Sandler ‘are talking about’ doing another movie together… almost ten years after their last collaboration
This week, Drew Barrymore revealed on her self-titled talk show that she and Adam Sandler are in talks to do another movie together.
The 48-year-old actress-turned-host was talking about Forrest Gump’s Tom Hanks and Robin Wright when her co-host, Ross Mathews, chimed in.
“I love it when the people we love in the movies team up again for a movie. So, I’m going to ask you on behalf of everyone: you and Adam Sandler, are we going to do another one? Matthews questioned.
The mother-of-two responded: ‘We’re definitely talking about it. Oh yeah. Safely.’
‘There are conversations to find the [right movie]. We are actively looking to find the right thing,” Drew explained.

“We’re always, you know, I think it’s very specific to the script and the story,” the seasoned animator noted of what the duo are looking for.
The audience erupted in cheers and applause at the excitement of hearing the statement.
Drew smiled, shrugged, and quipped, ‘I’ll leave it at that,’ while Ross said, ‘That’s all we need to know!’
Drew and Adam first appeared on the big screen together in 1998’s The Wedding Singer.
Then came 2004’s 50 First Dates, a romantic comedy in which the actress played Lucy to Waterboy actor Henry.
A decade later they reunited for the story of Blended, about two single parents who fall in love.
While the Hollywood-bred personality has put acting aside to focus on his talk show since 2020, Adam has continued to make movies.
He starred in 2022’s Hustle and 2020’s Hubie Halloween after earning a SAG nomination for 2019’s Uncut Gems.
Barrymore’s revelation comes two days after celebrities flocked to the internet to wish her a happy birthday.
The actress looked back on years gone by with a hilarious video synced to Mariah Carey’s viral tune It’s a Wrap and captioned: ‘That’s a finish in 47! 48, come on! ❤️.’
Drew felt the love in the comments section, where fans sent their best wishes to the birthday girl, including several friends in the entertainment industry.
