Adam Sandler, who is known for quirky humour, did not deliver a serious speech when given the Career Achievement Award at AARP Movies for Grown-Ups.
Instead, he did what he does best: crack jokes.
He began with joking about his age, saying, “A lot of people said to me, ‘Sandman, getting an AARP award means that you’re old now.’ As I say, it’s not because of this award. I’ve got 10 other reasons that you know I am f***** old.”
Then, the 59-year-old shared those 10 reasons during his acceptance speech.
“The other day, I had to swallow a Viagra to take a piss. And I had to call my doctor because the piss lasted for more than four hours and the font on my phone is so big that my texts can be read by anyone with a window seat on a Delta flight,” the actor said.
He also added, “At my high school reunion, I spent most of the night saying, ‘I’m so sorry to hear that.”
“None of my toenails is the same color anymore. If I take my socks off, it looks like a f****** pack of Crayola crayons,” the Happy Gilmore star shares another reason.
“When I receive the Academy Awards screeners, even though I press play on 44 different movies, I can only stay awake for a combined total of eight minutes,” Adam said, leaving the audience in stitches.
In addition to honouring his work, Adam’s latest film, Jay Kelly, is streaming on Netflix.
