There’s only one person who comes to mind when Drew Barrymore is about to film an intimate scene with Adam Sandler: his wife, Jackie Sandler.
On this morning’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the actress-turned-talk show host discussed filming love scenes with close friends outside of work with Connie Britton.
The conversation kicked off with Barrymore inquiring Britton about her experience playing Kyle Chandler‘s wife on Friday Night Lights, praising him as “the dreamiest guy ever.”
“If you knew him in real life, he’s just a big dork. But I love him to death,” Britton said.
Britton elaborated on their close friendship and portraying characters together on the show, highlighting the immense trust between them, allowing them to take risks and explore different aspects of their roles freely.
When Barrymore called them the “sexiest couple,” Britton cringed at the idea of filming sex scenes with Chandler — which was something Barrymore could relate to.
“It’s weird that filming intimacy or [pretending], it’s like sometimes your relationship is so different than,” Barrymore said. “Adam Sandler? I think of Jackie Sandler first!”
Britton then asked, “Doesn’t it make you feel safer in that moment? Because it’s like, ‘Oh! We’re good. We can do this because we’re good.’”
Barrymore has starred in three different rom-coms with Sandler, including The Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates, and Blended. She recently teased that a fourth movie could be coming in the near future.
“We talk about it all the time,” Barrymore told her Drew’s News co-host Ross Mathews and fellow actress Kate Hudson on the March 3 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show. “And I know that we are going to do it. And yes, 100% yes.”
