He plays a talent agent with an interesting mix of clients in Sandy Wexler, his new movie for Netflix that brings back the ’90s.
Adam Sandler, 49, had a talent for generating the laughs as he filmed scenes for the comedy with sultry 25-year-old co-star Samantha Hoopes in a happening hub in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday night.
While Adam displayed his comedic chops behind specs and baggy khaki pants to go with his polyester-looking shirt, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model flashed her midriff in very hip athletic attire.

Man on a mission: Adam Sandler threw himself into character on the downtown LA set of Sandy Wexler on Thursday night with sexy co-star Samantha Hoopes
Samantha was clad in a tiny crop top with her black push-up bra showing underneath, while loose-fitting red and white-striped track trousers resembed harem pants tucked into black army-style boots.
A glittery belt and heavy jewelry gave her the look of a ’90s pop star aided by a big and wild blonde hairdo that featured two ponytails.
That might have explained the look of total awe on Adam’s face as he stared at the blonde bombshell.
At one point, Adam was seen getting into character and waving his arms while Samantha leaned against a car with a guy’s arm around her shoulders.

While Samantha would make any man swoon, Adam’s character soon finds himself in a career conundrum when he falls for his latest discovery.

Ah shucks: The 49-year-old comedian signed a four-picture deal with Netflix in 2014; he’s pictured on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on May 26
‘When these fine people came to me with an offer to make four movies for them, I immediately said “yes” for one reason and one reason only… Netflix rhymes with “wet chicks.” Let the streaming begin!’ Adam said in a statement, as reported by Variety.
Sandler’s first delivery was The Ridiculous 6, which was the most-watched movie on Netflix in its first 30 days of streaming.
The star’s feature films have garnered more than $3.9 billion worldwide, although his latest efforts (The Cobbler, Blended) both underperformed at the box office in 2014.
Blended struggled to make back the $40 million it cost to produce, taking in a disappointing $46 million domestically (but a better $80.5 million overseas).
The Cobbler reportedly only took in $24,000 in its US opening weekend.
