Adam Sandler Is An Unexpected Gen Z Fashion Icon

My generation looked up to Adam Sandler as a comedy icon. Now, he's being viewed by Gen Z as a fashion icon!

Thankfully, you can be both! There's so much to love about Adam Sandler. He's one of the very few celebrities that seemingly nobody has a problem with. Sure, you might not be a huge fan of his newer movies, but that's not a reflection on the man nor his talents. We've seen what he can do, and we love him for it. He's funny, he's relatable, and he dresses like we do!

We've long associated the rich and successful with dressing in designer brands and the finest of attire. However, not every celebrity chooses to dress like that. Mark Zuckerberg tends to dress casual, but he hasn't become a fashion icon for it. At least not compared to Sandler whose look has become an inspiration for Gen Z (and millennials, alike). His look has been named "Madam Sandler," and it consists of wearing baggy shorts with a crop top.

It seems like every time Sandler is photographed in public, he looks like he wasn't expecting it. He's typically dressed in comfortable clothes like a hoodie and oversized basketball shorts. He's very consistent with the look--it's his signature look. During an interview with People at the premiere of his new stand-up special "Love You" the Happy Gilmore star answered some questions about his signature look dubbed as "Sandlercore" by many people online.

Regarding his clothes, Sandler told People, "You know, this is an accidental thing, but here I am wearing goofy clothes, and I don't know. I don't think about it." Even during the interview, he's wearing some very unique, but on-brand, clothes with a yellow collared shirt with gators and some sort of clubs on it. Either way, it's totally him and something he'd rock to a premiere.

Discussing his choice of attire is nothing new. The Sandman has been doing this for years. Last year, during an appearance on the Drew Barrymore Show to promote his movie Murder Mystery 2, he explained the process behind picking out his outfits. He told Barrymore, "I go into my closet, I got a bunch of t-shirts and shorts, kinda they're all the same...I usually go t-shirt first...I just want to cover that quickly. I'm like what the hell, grab anything. Then I go with shorts and I throw them on. Sometimes they'll be slightly too tight. I go, 'Let me take those off,' and get the triple-X shorts on."

Honestly, that sounds very similar to how I go about picking my clothes. Just look and grab what's close and move on. It requires very little thought. Maybe I take after Adam? It seems to be rubbing off on me, and I don't think I'm alone!

What are the best football movies of all-time? We came up with a list of 5 of our favorites, did yours make the list?

There are no shortage of excellent movies that are about football. There are classics, new movies, comedies, and dramas all about football. However, what are the best football movies of all-time?

Football season is quickly coming up! I'm already picturing Sundays in front of the TV with my gameday snacks and no plans for the entire day but watching some games and placing some bets. We're only a few months away from the start of the 2024-2025 NFL season!

To celebrate, we came up with a list of 5 of the best football movies of all-time. Of course, only picking 5 meant that some great football movies were being left on the cutting room floor. They couldn't all end up making the list. Recently, we also made lists of the Best Baseball Movies for the MLB season and the Best Basketball Movies during the NBA season. Make sure to come back to check out these lists after you see the list of the best football movies of all-time.

Do you have a football movie in mind? Hopefully it ended up making the list! For this list, I decided to try to make it the best of the best when it comes to football movies. I didn't want this to be my personal list of favorite football movies, so I tried to think of what most people would consider to be the best. Did some of my personal favorites slip through the cracks? Probably. However, I did my best to remain totally unbiased.

Unfortunately, some great movies didn't make the cut. I didn't include Friday Night Lights because I thought the show was better than the movie. Little Giants is one of my personal favorites but I didn't think it was good enough to earn a spot on the list. Radio is another great movie that you won't find on the list. Jerry Maguire is a great movie but football wasn't a big enough part of the movie for it to be considered a "football movie," in my opinion. Are they great movies! Absolutely! They just didn't make this list.

Ready to check out the list? Let us know if we missed your favorite football movie if it didn't end up on the list! See our list of 5 of the best football movies of all-time below!

Remember The Titans is my favorite football movie and I think it's arguably the best of all-time. It has everything you'd want in a football game! There's leadership, quality football, there's comedy, the story is great, you care about the characters--it's excellent from start to finish. There are so many great quotes in the movie. It's also very relatable to anyone who played football and grew up playing the game while addressing racial issues at the time.

Is Any Given Sunday my favorite football movie? No, it definitely is not. Is it in my personal Top 10? Honestly, I doubt it. However, you can't argue it's one of the best football movies of all-time. You got great performances from Al Pacino, Dennis Quaid, Jamie Foxx, and Cameron Diaz. They were all perfect in their roles and the movie was well cast. You simply can't discuss football movies without bringing up Any Given Sunday. It deserves a spot on the list.

I know I said I wasn't going to let any personal biases affect the list, but this might be the one exception. We had to have The Waterboy on the list! It's probably the football movie I've seen the most times. It has to be the funniest movie about football, right? Sure, The Longest Yard is good, but it doesn't hold a candle to The Waterboy. Do you agree?

The Replacements had a great cast with Keanu Reeves, Gene Hackman, Brooke Langton, and Jon Favreau. The movie came out in 2000 and has been considered one of the best football movies ever sense. Again, it's not my personal favorite but I can't deny it a spot on the list because I don't like it. However, if another movie were to be added I will admit it would probably take The Replacements place. It would be the replacement...pun not intended but pretty cool how that worked out!

You were waiting for this one weren't you? Thinking it might not make the list? Of course Rudy is going to make the list of the best football movies of all-time. I'd bet most would consider it to be the greatest football movie of all-time. It's often synonymous with football movies. It's a timeless classic that will live on for many more generations.
