CATCH UP!See Drew Barrymore's Tearful Message to Adam Sandler

Adam Sandler's feelings toward his family are no laughing matter.
 
In fact, as the Big Daddy star once explained, he can't help but have more of a serious outlook at times when it comes to his daughters Sadie, 17, and Sunny, 15, who he shares with wife Jackie Sandler.
 
"I'm a worrier," Sandler—set to receive the People's Icon Award at the 2024 People's Choice Awards Feb. 18—told Huffington Post in 2014. "I've learned in life now that when your kid is upset, you're rocked until they're not upset anymore. Even when they're not upset, you're rocked. You're always nervous because you want your kid to be happy."
 
Which has led to a full circle moment for him. "Now, I understand why my folks were always saying, ‘Be nice and be safe,'" the 57-year-old explained. "'Make sure everyone in the family is OK. That's the most important thing.' If the family hurts, then you hurt."
 
Fast-forward to present day, and though his worry may remain, the amount of love he has for his children continues to grow.

"When they speak, we either laugh, tear up, or just stare at them in amazement," he shared during a speech last year. "Every conservation we have, every day, every night, every drive, every meal, every smile, every hang we have, I'm only wishing time will stand still cause being with you two and Mommy, that's the best life can get."
