Adam Sandler is back in the headlines—and not just for his comedy chops. The Hollywood veteran is riding high in 2025, as he blends stardom with parenthood in a way that feels both iconic and intimate. With Happy Gilmore 2 set to premiere on Netflix on July 25, Sandler isn’t just reprising one of his most beloved roles—he’s sharing the spotlight with his two daughters, Sadie and Sunny, who appear alongside him in the sequel.
In recent interviews, Sandler opened up about what it means to work with family in such a public way. “Once they do it well, nothing feels better as a parent,” he said. “Thank God.” His advice to them was simple yet impactful: “Be nice to everybody”, especially those behind the scenes. The message hits home in an industry often criticized for entitlement and ego.
But Happy Gilmore 2 isn’t just about laughs and golf swings. Sandler revealed that the death of co-star Carl Weathers (Chubbs) led to a major rewrite of the film. Rather than digitally recreating the late actor, Sandler chose to honor Weathers with heartfelt tributes, ensuring his legacy lives on without losing authenticity. It’s a move that’s earned praise from both fans and critics, and proves that comedy can still carry emotional depth.
Beyond the screen, Sandler is returning to the stage with his new stand-up tour, “You’re My Best Friend,” kicking off this fall across North America. From New York to Los Angeles, the 30-city tour blends classic Sandler humor with new stories from his life as a father, actor, and icon. Tickets are already selling fast on Live Nation.
In a summer filled with reboots and reimaginings, Sandler’s story stands out—not just because he’s bringing back a classic, but because he’s evolving while doing it. By centering family, respect, and memory, he’s giving audiences more than just laughs—he’s delivering heart.
For fans of Hollywood, comedy, or simply good storytelling, Adam Sandler’s 2025 comeback is not to be missed. From the golf course to the comedy stage, he reminds us why he’s still one of the industry’s most beloved entertainers.
