Baggy clothes

Speaking to the Pardon My Take Podcast as part of the promotion drive for Happy Gilmore 2, he was asked about fashion and wearing baggier clothing.

“The baggy stuff for the young Adam Sandler started for a reason,” the actor claimed.

“I used to be - and this is not a lie - jacked. I was jacked, I [had a] beautiful body so when I would hide it and then surprise you at the beach when this stuff came off.
