The star of the new movie Hustle also riffs on fashion, comfort—and those infamous pickle-eating photos from 2013.
—and those infamous pickle-eating photos from 2013Adam Sandler is sitting down at a press junket in an oversized red polo shirt, layered on top of an even more oversized undershirt; the white tee sleeves are creeping out just past his elbows. He’s on the promo tour for his latest Netflix filmand his real-life look isn’t that different from the character he plays: a down-on-his-luck NBA scout who predominantly wears a mix of loose-fitting athleticwear from scene to scene.
The difference between Sandler and his character, Stanley Sugerman, is that Sandler is a bona fide Hollywood actor, comedian, and producer who’s worth over $400 million, but refuses to dress like one. It’s probably the reason why he’s been embraced as a style pioneer in the pandemic era, even though he’s been sporting his signature schlubby looks off camera for more than three decades.
“It took a while. I was working that angle for years,” Sandler deadpans. “For a while I was like, ‘Please accept me and the way I dress.’ And 30 years later, they finally came around.”Look up the hashtag #sandlercore on TikTok and you’ll find thousands of videos of people paying homage to and discussing Sandler’s 55-year-old dad swag.
In a time when people spent a majority of their time indoors, Sandler became a sort of sartorial saviour for those whose tastes lean more towards baggy sweats and sneakers. Old photos of him from 2013 walking the streets of New York"I like pickles, by the way," says Sandler."They taste good."“I was doing a movie when that pickle thing happened,” he says, giving context to the photos that stirred up conversation on Twitter and Reddit. “I like pickles by the way.
Much like the kosher dill pickles the movie-star comedian and actor enjoys, you either love his style or you hate it. Unsurprisingly, his ethos when it comes to clothes isn’t overly complicated: “It’s all comfort and it’s a lot of ‘Hopefully, this fits.’”Jimmy Kimmel Live!
