NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Adam Sandler, who is known for his humorous appearances in films like 'Billy Madison', 'Happy Gilmore', and many others, is said to be 5 feet 9 3/4 inches (177 cm/ 1.77 m) tall.

The 57-year-old 'Big Daddy' actor and his wife Jackie have two daughters, Sunny, 14, and Sadie, 17.

In June 2023, the 14-year-old 'Jack and Jill' starlet made headlines as she shocked fans by standing as tall as her popular father. The celebrity father's teenage daughter is taller than he is, per People

Adam, who rose to fame by playing adorable but childlike roles, has frequently made headlines for being Jenniffer Aniston's longtime pal.

The actor from 'Murder Mystery 2' joked during the movie's promotion that he thought he missed out on a 'Friends' role next to Rachel Green because of David Schwimmer's height, which he can't match. Let's compare Adam Sandler's height to that of Sunny, Jen, and Schwimmer.

Adam Sandler's younger daughter grabbed the spotlight beaming charmingly at the premiere of 'The Outlaws' in June alongside her parents.

The 14-year-old has reportedly grown to a height of 4 ft 10 in (142 cm/ 1.42 m), but some sources suggest she is actually 5 ft 2 in (157 cm/ 1.57 m). Yet, she appears to be almost as tall as her renowned father.

Sunny and her older sister Sadie reportedly assisted Adam with his speech at the 2022 Gotham Awards, when he received the Film Tribute Award.

He took the stage and said, "They were like, 'Can we write your speech so you've got something to say?'" I said. 'Absolutely! It would be nice to see you doing something other than watching YouTube or going to [expletive] Lululemon every [expletive] weekend.'" 

He then read the speech they had written for him, which included numerous humorous jabs at their father.

Sunny and Sadie have both appeared in Adam's films, although they don't allegedly share his enthusiasm for performing.

Adam Sandler was having a very successful career at the same time the 5ft-5in (165 cm /1.65 m) tall Jen was on 'Friends'.

Despite the fact that Sandler's departure from 'SNL' first appeared to be a burden for the actor, it was simply the start of his career ascension, as he went on to become a box office powerhouse in the late 1990s and early 2000s. 

However, he did express interest in doing a role opposite Aniston, though fans were skeptical. The duo have had a strong bond for about two decades and have appeared in several films together.

He had a good impression of Aniston ever since they had first met on the 'SNL' set. "I remember when we first met, we had breakfast together and I thought she was funny as hell. Then I saw her a few more times and I just always ... she made me happy when I'd see her," per The Things.

Adam Sandler once made fun of the fact that he was interested in playing Ross on 'Friends' but was passed over because of David Schwimmer's charisma and stature, which is said to be 6 ft 1 in (185 cm/ 1.85 m). However, it was later discovered that this was just a joke and the claim was untrue.

"Were you really up to play Ross?" Aniston questioned during the promotion of 'Murder Mystery 2'. Sandler revealed, "I would have! No, that wasn’t real. I was just joking."

Is Adam Sandler a billionaire?

Prior to moving to Hollywood, Sandler, who now has a net worth of $440 million, originally gained widespread recognition as a cast member on 'Saturday Night Live'. He has held the title of the highest-paid entertainer in the world at different stages in his career.
