Drew Barrymore praises Adam Sandler's parenting while talking with Mindy Kaling
Drew Barrymore is sharing her signs of a good parent.
While talking with fellow actress Mindy Kaling on a recent episode of 'The Drew Barrymore Show,' Drew Barrymore explained what she thinks makes a good parent.
She then shared that Adam Sandler and his wife Jackie Sandler have those qualities.
'I feel like it's a really good sign of a good soul and good parenting when older kids are not dismissive of younger kids,' Barrymore explained in a clip shared by Entertainment Tonight as she and Kaling, who is a single mom of three, talked about parenting and raising kind children.
As Kaling agreed with Barrymore's statement, the talk show host said, 'it's funny like not to drop names, but Adam Sandler's daughters, Sunny and Sadie, are so good to my daughters. And they're 16 and 18, and Olive and Frankie are 10 and 12, and they like 'hang out!''
'I always tell Jackie, Adam's wife, what a good mom that she is, and what good parents they are, because their daughters like, always take younger ones under the wing. So I can only hope that Olive and Frankie demonstrate that.'
Fans called that portion of their conversation 'wholesome.'
'Wholesome shout-out! Love seeing longtime friends lift each other up like this,' one person commented on Entertainment Tonight's Instagram post.
'When a celebrity is self made and not problematic, best believe they're gonna raise their kids right,' added another fan.
'This is so true! Should always treat little ones with kindness and show you care for them. Take them under your wing. You are never 'too cool' to be kind,' another commenter added.
Barrymore and Sandler have been friends since meeting in 1998 on the set of their first movie together, 'The Wedding Singer.'
The friendly duo have gone on to film other movies together, including '50 First Dates' and 'Blended.'
In April while answering audience questions during a taping of her talkshow, Barrymore said she and Sandler have plans of filming another movie together sometime soon, according to Today.
'I think so, as far as — I know so. That's a yes, and it's a matter of when, but I don't think it'll be too long, because we've always done everything every 10 years, and we're running out of time. We're past 10 years at this point.'
