Adam Sandler’s career has been marked by his humorous roles in blockbuster movies like “Happy Gilmore” and “Billy Madison”. However, behind the scenes, the actor has also been dealing with a significant amount of pain due to his dedication to performing stunts. After filming “Murder Mystery 2” with Jennifer Aniston, Sandler was forced to undergo hip replacement surgery due to the extreme pain he had been experiencing. Though he was praised for his stunt work in “Murder Mystery 2”, Sandler has stated that he is not interested in doing his own stunts or starring in a “Mission: Impossible” movie.
Sandler’s Battle with Injuries due to Stunt Work
Sandler has been performing stunts throughout his career, which inevitably led to injuries. During a recent interview on “The Dan Patrick Show,” Sandler discussed his decision to undergo hip replacement surgery. In response to the host’s question about how he was feeling, the actor stated that his body was feeling “sluggy” and hurting. Though not completely sure what sparked this change after years of doing stunts, he mentioned that being 56 years old made everything “scary”. The actor expressed gratitude towards his doctors and recuperation period since it allowed him time to recover from years of physical wear-and-tear.
Comparison with Tom Cruise but Sandler Uninterested in Doing Stunts
Critics have compared Sandler’s work in “Murder Mystery 2” with Tom Cruise’s stunt performances. Despite these accolades, Sandler stated that he is not interested in performing stunts or starring in a “Mission: Impossible” film. While expressing appreciation for those who do undertake these challenging tasks, he said that it wasn’t something he would ever consider. It would mean risking his body in ways he isn’t willing to, considering how they have already taken a toll on his physical health.
Jennifer Aniston’s Experience with Injury During Filming
Sandler was not the only star to experience injuries while filming “Murder Mystery 2.” Jennifer Aniston also suffered a back injury during her last day of shooting. Still, both actors attended the premiere of the movie and interacted with fans, showing off their resilience in the face of pain.
Jeremy Garelick and “Murder Mystery 2”
While Sandler’s stunt work has been extensively discussed in the media, “Murder Mystery 2” director Jeremy Garelick has also gained attention for his work on the film. This Netflix sequel has a much bigger budget than Garelick’s previous works and features exotic locations like Honolulu and Paris. Garelick got the directing assignment because of his good reputation with the film’s stars, including Jennifer Aniston, who wanted to work with him again. He met Sandler when he was 15 years old in a chance encounter as an audience member at “Saturday Night Live.” Besides directing movies, Garelick runs American High, a full-service production hub that allows him to create original thought and vision outside the Hollywood system.
