How Jennifer Aniston takes care of long-time friend Adam Sandler
The long-time friends give each other grief while Aniston gives Sandler the odd boost with a smoothie.
Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler have been friends for 30 years, and have been there through each other’s ups and down along the way.
Sandler often gives Aniston, who was married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 and to Justin Theroux from 2015 to 2017, a hard time about her former dating relationships.
The celebrity pair have made three movies together, 2011′s ‘Just Go With it’, 2020′s ‘Murder Mystery’, and ‘Murder Mystery 2′, which is set to be released March 31.
Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler’s 30 years of friendship
Jennifer Aniston appeared on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ Tuesday night to promote her upcoming film, where she talked about more than the movie.
Aniston revealed that she and Sandler have had a very close friendship since they met in their early twenties. She takes care of the stubborn but loveable Sandler, while he big-brothers her about her boyfriends.
When Fallon asked the ‘Friends’ alum if she and Sandler have ever given each other advice or helped each other throughout their careers, Aniston laughed at the prospect.
“Well, if I get anything from him,” the actress said wryly, “it’s, ‘What are you doing?’ Usually based on someone I’m dating. ‘What are you doing? What’s wrong with you?’”
Fallon then mimicked the words of Sandler. “What are you doing?” the talk show host repeated three times, “What’s wrong with you?”
Jennifer Aniston caring for her friends
Not shaken by Fallon’s jibes, Aniston explained that though Sandler sometimes gives her a hard time, she loves to take care of her friend.
“But I very much love to take care of him,” Aniston continued. ‘He’s so concerned with taking care of everybody else, which he really does. And he doesn’t take care of himself.
“I’m sorry to call you out on national television, Adam. But you have to know this.”
Aniston relies on Chinese medicine
Jennifer Aniston explained that she takes care of Adam Sandler and others on the sets of her movies with a collection of Chinese herbs she keeps handy.
“[I have a] little arsenal of herbs in my trailer,” Aniston said. “And I make him smoothies when I can. And give him all sorts of like Chinese herbs when he’s exhausted.”
“So I don’t know, I’m like the little — I’m like the mobile pharmacy. I’m the set medic,” she added.
