Adam Sandler is one proud papa!
The legendary actor and comedian, who has done everything from stand-up comedy to starring roles in films by Paul Thomas Anderson and Noah Baumbach, counts being a dad as his favorite role. So when he got the chance to work the red carpet at the Roommates premiere alongside his wife, Jackie, and stunning daughters Sunny and Sadie, the comedy king didn’t miss the chance.
The Roommates premiere had special meaning for the Sandler family, however. Sadie Sandler, 19, has a starring role in the film, which follows a college freshman who finds herself with a difficult roommate. With his wife and daughters by his side, Sandler couldn’t have been prouder as he sported his typical red carpet sportswear.

How Does Adam Sandler Feel About Becoming an Unintentional Style Star?
While Sandler will do almost anything to avoid wearing a suit, he didn’t set out to become a fashion icon. In fact, he does find the whole thing a bit humorous. When Complex asked him how he feels about the unintentional honor of wardrobe legend, Sandler simply laughed.
“It’s funny as hell,” Sandler explained while promoting Happy Gilmore 2. “And whenever one of my kids or their friends talks to me about it… my wife’s like, ‘What the hell are we talking about right now? How did that happen?’
“But my wife always was nice to me about my clothes,” he added. “Even when we were young, others would say, ‘Would you put on something better than that? Your wife’s dressed so beautifully.’ My wife would say, ‘He’s comfortable like that. Let him do that. Leave him alone.’ “
If you’re looking to emulate the actor’s style, he told Esquire a few years back what it takes to score his level of fashion knowledge.
“I go with a lot of XXL even though I’ve been told I don’t need a XXL,” Sandler told the publication. “I wear the XXL shirts. I wear the XXL shorts. I pull my socks up goofy and I wear my sneakers.”
He also advises sticking with stuff that’s worn in.
“Usually I wear the same clothes a lot because after it gets out of the laundry it feels even better. New stuff kind of gets me itchy.”
