Adam Sandler hires all of his family members for his films

Adam Sandler made it a family night at the Los Angeles premiere of his new film Jay Kelly held at the Egyptian Theatre Hollywood on Tuesday evening.

The 59-year-old Brooklyn native posed with his wife Jackie, 51, as well as their two daughters, 17-year-old Sunny and 19-year-old Sadie, for rare group photos.

Both Sunny and Sadie have a history of popping up in dad’s films and both have appeared in about a dozen of his best projects.

One of the movies – 2023’s coming-of-age comedy You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah – starred Sunny with Sadie, Adam and Jackie all in supporting roles. 

And Jackie has taken bit parts in almost all of her husband’s movies, making the Sandler clan the ultimate Hollywood nepo family. 

Even the movie icon’s parents – Judy and the late Stan – have shown up in some of his films. 

This is possible because Sandler produces many of his own movies through his production company, Happy Madison Productions, which he founded in 1999.

Sunny had on a long black gown with a slit up the side as she added strappy black heels that fastened at the ankle at the Jay Kelly premiere.

Sadie wore a black long sheer dress that was low-cut in front; her shoes could not be seen. Her dark hair was worn down in beachy mermaid curls.

Jackie stood out in a black dress with strappy heels as Adam wore a blue suit with a pink shirt and purple tie. 

Sadie and Sunny both had roles in at least 14 of their dad’s films.

They had large feature roles in their dad’s 2023 movie You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah. 

They were also in their father’s films You Don’t Mess with the Zohan (2008), Hotel Transylvania (2012), Bedtime Stories (2008), and Pixels (2015). 

And they were in Happy Gilmore 2 which was released in July.

Sandler’s wife and daughters are not the only family members who have popped up in his Hollywood projects.

His mother, Judy Sandler, has also made cameo appearances in several of his films.

The redheaded woman has been in for Blended (2014), I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (2007) and Happy Gilmore 2 (2025). 

She was previously married to Stan Sandler who was born in 1935 in Brooklyn, New York.

He was an actor, known for Eight Crazy Nights (2002) and Nicotine Bees (2010). He died in 2003 in Manchester, New Hampshire.
