George Clooney Spills On Why This Friend Is No 'Goofy Comedian'
HuffPost
In a new Vanity Fair interview, the actor scoffed at how one co-star's comedic chops often overshadow his creative depth.
George Clooney wants people to know Adam Sandler isn’t just a jokester.
In a Vanity Fair interview released Monday, the leading man warned people not to underestimate Sandler’s talent as he opened up about the friendship they forged while making their forthcoming film, “Jay Kelly.”
During production on the coming-of-age dramedy, which follows aging movie star Jay Kelly and his longtime manager, Ron Sukenick, as they travel through Europe, Clooney and Sandler got just as close as their characters.
That bond, felt both on screen and off, left Clooney acutely aware of how his co-star’s comedic gifts have overshadowed his creative depth.
“This film, more than any film Adam has done, shows what a beautiful, heartfelt, soulful actor he is,” Clooney said of Sandler’s performance.
