On a recent episode of “The Bill Simmons Podcast”, Sandler appeared to talk about his new movie “Uncut Gems”, which has been earning rave reviews, including from one of the most decorated actors of all time.

“I’m getting my sneakers and then I look down at my phone and it’s Daniel Day-Lewis,” Sandler revealed.

“He starts talking about grabbing the seat in front of him,” he said. “‘I couldn’t let go of the seat in front of me,’ and just saying how much he dug the movie, he dug [Kevin Garnett], he dug the guys. But it was the best call ever.”
