You know, there’s nothing quite like seeing a Golden Globe nominee walk the red carpet with their biggest fan—and in this case, it’s none other than Adam Sandler's mom, Judy. Adam, the funnyman we’ve all come to love, brought his sweetest date yet to the premiere of his latest Netflix film, Hustle. The special screening took place in Philadelphia on June 7, and let me tell you, the energy was electric.
Red Carpet Style: Adam and Judy Sandler Make a Statement
Now, when it comes to red carpet fashion, Adam definitely kept things casual and cool. He opted for a classic white button-down shirt paired with blue pants and a pop of color in his orange sneakers. But hey, who can outshine a mom in leopard print? Judy, rocking those bold leopard pants and a chic black blouse, completed her look with a beaded necklace and platform sandals. The two of them couldn’t stop smiling all night, radiating pure joy and pride. It was a moment that reminded us of the importance of family and support in life’s biggest moments.
Adam Sandler's Role in 'Hustle'
In Hustle, Adam plays Stanley Sugerman, a basketball scout on a mission to help an athlete achieve his dream of making it to the NBA. This role has been getting rave reviews because it showcases a side of Adam we haven’t seen before. What’s fascinating is how much of his confidence on screen can be traced back to the encouragement he received from his mom. “My mother always told me how great I was, and eventually, I started to believe her,” Adam shared during an interview on 60 Minutes back in 2020. Of course, his dad had a more grounded approach, saying things like, “You’re great, but you ain’t that great.” It’s this balance that shaped Adam into the performer he is today.

A Tribute to Family: Adam Sandler's Close-Knit Bond
Family has always been at the heart of Adam’s life. His father, Stanley Sandler, passed away in 2003, just after Adam tied the knot with his wife, Jackie. Together, they’ve raised two beautiful daughters, Sadie and Sunny. As a dad himself now, Adam has taken the lessons his parents taught him and passed them on to his own kids. In a 2014 interview with HuffPost, Adam revealed, “Now I get why my parents always said, ‘Be nice, be safe, and make sure everyone in the family is okay.’ That’s what matters most. If the family is hurting, you’re hurting too.” These words ring true in everything Adam does, both personally and professionally.

Both Sadie and Sunny have made appearances in several of their dad’s films, including Hubie Halloween and Grown Ups. And let’s not forget about Judy—she’s had her fair share of screen time too, starring in movies like I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, Blended, and Sandy Wexler. But here’s a funny twist: despite being in some of these films, Adam revealed during a 2017 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live that his mom hasn’t actually seen many of them. Why? Well, apparently, she doesn’t quite know how to use Netflix. “It’s a real problem,” Adam joked while promoting Sandy Wexler. “This is my third movie for Netflix that my mom hasn’t seen.”
