Timothée Chalamet's High Praise for Adam Sandler: "One of the Best F---ing Actors of All Time"
In a rare joint conversation, Timothée Chalamet and Adam Sandler sat down to discuss their careers and craft in front of a packed bleacher audience at Fairfax High School gymnasium in Los Angeles. The event, dubbed "Sandler x Chalamet," marked an opportunity for the two actors to share insights into their respective filmographies.
Chalamet's admiration for Sandler was palpable as he praised him as "one of the best fucking actors of all time." This statement came after watching a clip from Paul Thomas Anderson's 2006 romantic dramedy, "Punch Drunk Love," in which Sandler delivered an impactful performance. Chalamet's comment highlighted his respect for Sandler's range and depth as an actor.
Chalamet went on to express his awe at the complexity of Sandler's craft, saying that he hoped to one day match the caliber of Sandler's performances. The sentiment was echoed by Sandler himself, who acknowledged Chalamet's contributions to cinema, stating, "What you continue to do for cinema and for all of us is beyond it all."
The evening also featured clips from other notable films, including "Big Daddy," "Uncut Gems," "Call Me By Your Name," and "Dune: Part 2." Sandler and Chalamet engaged in a lighthearted exchange about their time on "Saturday Night Live" sketches and shared anecdotes about their mutual passion for basketball and guitar.
In a touching moment, the two actors broke down each other's scenes, with Sandler reminiscing about Jason Reitman's praise for Chalamet's potential talent. The evening concluded with an entertaining game of 2-on-2 half-court basketball against the stars, further showcasing the camaraderie between Chalamet and Sandler.
Both "Marty Supreme" and "Jay Kelly," the upcoming films directed by Josh Safdie and Noah Baumbach respectively, are set to release in theaters this holiday season. With their combined talents, it will be exciting to see what these projects bring to the table.

just saw that Timothée Chalamet is a HUGE fan of Adam Sandler 
and honestly I'm not surprised! Adam's got some amazing range in his films, from "Punch Drunk Love" to "Uncut Gems" 
his box office numbers have been on the rise for years 
. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to collaborate with someone as talented as Timothée Chalamet? 
it's clear they're just passionate about making great movies and having fun while doing it 
. And can we talk about the stats on Adam Sandler's filmography? 
he's got 13 films since 1995, with an average budget of $40M per movie 
.
. Timothée Chalamet's got major respect for him and I think it's about time we saw more of that appreciation 
. And his chemistry with Chalamet was undeniable, they had some hilarious moments 
. It's great to see two talented actors who have been in the game for a while, finally getting their due recognition 
. I'm hyped for these upcoming projects and can't wait to see what Sandler and Chalamet bring to the table 
I mean, don't get me wrong, Sandler has had some iconic roles and is super funny, but acting range? Not so much for me. Have you seen "Pixels" or "Grown Ups 2"? 
and that clip from punch drunk love though 
adam sandler's performance was insane and timothée seems to be really inspired by it 
, and honestly, it's a great reminder that we should never underestimate someone's ability just because of their public persona or past work 
. I mean, who wouldn't want to be praised by someone as talented as Chalamet? It just goes to show that even the most unlikely person can have a hidden depth of talent waiting to be discovered 
.
. It's like, instead of trying to one-up each other, they're both just enjoying the process of creating something amazing together 
.
!
i also loved the 2-on-2 basketball game at the end, who knew they'd be such great sports about it 
!
.
. Sandler's "one of the best fucking actors of all time" statement got a 20% boost in ticket sales for his upcoming film "Marty Supreme". Chalamet's Instagram followers increased by 15k after the event, with 80% engagement on his post about Sandler's acting influence 
. 
️. Event attendance: sold out 1000+ seats at Fairfax High School gymnasium in LA 
. Chalamet and Sandler combined social media following: 25M+ followers 
. 
but what really got me is how much respect they have for each other's craft adam's not just some goofy funny guy, he's actually an incredible actor and timothée's recognition of that is huge 
I mean, Chalamet was spot on but now he's gonna inflate his own prices 
. Adam Sandler's range is still limited to 90% goofy comedies & 10% drama, let's be real 
.
. Too bad it's on a platform like this where we're stuck scrolling through, surrounded by ads and trolls
