George Clooney wants everyone to know Adam Sandler is much more than a funnyman.
The pair star in the forthcoming Netflix film 'Jay Kelly' which centers around 'famous movie actor Jay Kelly (Clooney) and his devoted manager Ron (Sandler) as they embark on a whirlwind and unexpectedly profound journey through Europe.'
The pair talked to Vanity Fair about the project and Clooney shared his admiration for Sandler's work on the film.
'This film — more than any film Adam has done — shows what a beautiful, heartfelt, soulful actor he is,' Clooney told the publication. 'I kept telling the cast, 'Don't call him Sand Man. Don't talk to him like he's just some goofy comedian. He's actually a really beautiful, wonderful actor.''
Sandler – who has previously earned critical acclaim for his dramatic roles, including 2002's 'Punch-Drunk Love,' 2019's 'Uncut Gems,' and 'Hustle' in 2022 – echoed the feelings of appreciation.
'My character loves George's character so much, and I thought that would be fun to do and easy to do with George,' Sandler said.
The actors bond grew even more during filming according to Sandler.
'He invited my family everywhere, every place in Italy and England. Our trailers were next to each other,' he said of Clooney. 'His friends and my friends all hung out, shot hoops, threw the baseball around, talked about other movies we like, other comedians that have made us laugh, his upbringing, my upbringing.'
'Jay Kelly' is in select theaters November 14 and on Netflix on December 5.
The trailer was released on Tuesday.

Superman stars in this underrated Netflix show to watch this weekend (August 8-10)
Netflix is famous for flooding its subscribers with content, but not all of it is actually worth your time. You know that intuitively, but that doesn't mean it's easy to pick through the various shows on the streaming service and decide which ones to watch. We've done that part for you by pulling out a few shows that live somewhere between great and bad. These underrated shows might have slipped through the cracks upon release, but here's why you should check each of them out. Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new shows to stream, the best shows on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, and the best movies on Amazon Prime Video. Love Life (2020-2021) Although it lasted just two seasons, Love Life was the kind of complex romantic comedy that we rarely get in either TV or film. The series follows a different person's love life in each of its two seasons and is also a textured look at life in New York trying to find a partner. Anna Kendrick is remarkably funny and dynamic in the first season, and William Jackson Harper is even better in the second. In both cases, though, Love Life creates a world that feels more textured and grounded than most shows about love, and that makes the emotional journeys of its two central characters all the more believable. You can watch Love Life on Netflix. The Sinner (2017-2021) A remarkable miniseries that didn't get the attention when it first premiered, The Sinner follows a central detective who investigates a series of chilling homicides over the course of four seasons. Although Bill Pullman's central character remains the same, the cast around him changes from season to season. As a result, we get showcase performances from actresses like Jessica Biel and Carrie Coon. Although the quality of the mystery varies from season to season, The Sinner is always compelling, in part because it's on the darker end of detective shows of its kind. You can watch The Sinner on Netflix. Hollywood (2020) Although it lasted just a single season, Ryan Murphy's Hollywood was one of the mega-showrunner's more interesting experiments for Netflix. The series followed actors and other show-business professionals as they attempt to find careers in the years following World War II. It's probably an unrealistic depiction of life in Hollywood. However, the show is a reminder of how much control studios used to have over their stars and their public image. Also, Hollywood featured David Corenswet, who is now America's new Superman. You can watch Hollywood on Netflix.

Prince Harry Relates to Prince William Differently Than to King Charles, Expert Says
Prince Harry reportedly relates to Prince William differently than he does to King Charles. As updates mention Harry's potential reunion with his father and rising tensions with the Prince of Wales, a report suggested that the brothers share a very distinct relationship. An expert recently weighed in on the duo's bond, which is rumored to have soured in light of recent events. Moreover, there have been talks that William will not have any place for his younger brother and his family when he becomes king. Prince Harry and Prince William's relationship is a 'different' ballgame, says expert An expert told Us Weekly about Prince Harry and Prince William's relationship being a different ballgame, while weighing in on the former's possible reunion with King Charles. Kristen Meinzer exclusively informed the publication about her beliefs that Harry's equation with his brother is far worse than his relationship with his father. These claims surfaced amid rumors that the Prince of Wales has already made plans to exclude his younger brother from the monarchy. In Meinzer's opinion, the Duke of Sussex and William's relationship is a 'different beast,' fueling rumors of their alleged feud. However, the expert claimed that the latter might 'feel compelled to follow' the lead if Charles decides to warm up to his estranged son. Their bonds reportedly reached a boiling point after Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their roles as senior royals in 2020. The couple moved across the pond, relocating to California. Nevertheless, Prince Harry has been vocal about his desire to reunite with King Charles and the royal family, something that hasn't been sitting well with Prince William. Last month, royal aides for the monarch and his younger son privately met in London, likely to discuss a potential reunion. However, the meeting reportedly left William feeling 'blindsided' and 'furious' for not receiving an invite to the table. More recently, a report revealed that the Duke of Sussex offered to share his diary with the royal family to avoid date clashes in case of a reunion. His latest attempt at extending the olive branch appeared to be a major development in his efforts to mend bridges with the king and the rest of his family.

Meghan Markle's Legal Problems May Impact Prince Harry's Reconciliation Efforts With His Family, Say Experts
's legal troubles with her half-sister, Samantha Markle, could potentially disrupt Prince Harry's life. Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner exclusively told Fox News that the legal battle might affect the Duke of Sussex's efforts to end the years-long feud with the royal family and reconcile with his family members. Another expert believed that Meghan's existing legal issues would only leave the senior royals worried about their reputation. Prince Harry's reconciliation efforts with his family could be impacted by Meghan Markle's legal issues, says expert Meghan Markle is currently in a legal battle with half-sister Samantha Markle. In 2022, the latter sued the Duchess of Sussex, claiming that the former actor allegedly defamed her in multiple interviews, including the Sussexes' controversial sit-down with Oprah Winfrey. The judge dismissed the case two years later with prejudice. However, the elder sibling recently appealed the dismissal. According to Fox News' exclusive report, royal expert Ian Pelham Turner shared that the new development in the duchess' legal battle will only hinder Prince Harry's efforts to reunite with his family. Turner claimed that the legal issues 'could break the fragile links between Harry and Meghan trying to establish a way forward.' The source added that the royals are sensitive towards any legal issues in America that could cause harm to their reputation. The expert further claimed that Samantha's recent move could be 'misconstrued as a timely action' on her part. This is allegedly because it comes at a time when Meghan is dealing with the cancellation of their Netflix deal and the hopeful attempt to end the family feud once and for all. British royals expert Hilary Fordwich told the outlet that Meghan doesn't have an advantage in her legal battle with her half-sister. Whether the claims were true or not, the expert believed that the issue wouldn't 'reflect well' on the duchess and the royals. Rumors of peace talks between Prince Harry and the royal family ensued after their respective royal aides held a secret meeting in London last month. Meanwhile, after Samantha appealed the dismissal, an oral argument is reportedly scheduled for September 9 in Jacksonville, Florida. Fox News reported that the 'Suits' alum's appearance isn't likely at the hearing. Originally reported by Varsha Narayanan on Reality Tea.
