In 2017, Adam Sandler revealed the hilarious story of how he first became friends with beloved actor Harrison Ford during an interview with Conan O’Brien. As it turns out, it was at one of the famous parties hosted by Ford’s “Star Wars” co-star, the late Carrie Fisher. Fisher became well-known among Hollywood A-listers for her lavish Laurel Canyon parties, which would often feature the likes of Elizabeth Taylor (per EW), Jack Nicholson, and former Beatles, among many others.
Sandler said he was around 25 at the time of this particular party, meaning it was right around the time he was starting out on “Saturday Night Live.” He was “not really big enough to be at that party” yet, he told O’Brien, but nevertheless he saw Ford in the crowd at one point, who caught his eye. The young Sandler was understandably starstruck when Ford approached him, recognizing him as a cast member on “SNL.” Sandler explained that Ford told him, “I would love for you to come over to my house … and I would love for you to wash my car.”
“My kids think you’re funny and it would just be such a kick for them to see that,” Sandler recalled Ford saying. Despite the unusual request, Sandler is now good friends with Ford, according to a 2020 interview he had with Ellen DeGeneres. “I know Harrison Ford pretty [well] now,” he said. “I consider myself tight with [him].”
