Are Adam Sandler and Timothee Chalamet friends? Uncut Gems star interrupts Conan O’Brien monologue to embrace Oscar nominee  

Adam Sandler surprised everyone at the Oscars 2025 when he interrupted Conan O’Brien’s opening monologue at the event.

O’Brien, who was quick to roast the actor, questioned him about his outfit. He wore a blue sweatshirt, gym shorts, and basketball shoes, unlike the traditional black tuxedo with a bow tie.

In his defence, Sandler said,

“I like the way I look. Because I’m a good person. I don’t care about what I wear and what I don’t wear.”

Before leaving the event, he crossed Timothée Chalamet and didn’t shy away from giving a shoutout to him as he hugged him.

Adam Sandler and Timothée Chalamet are friends. Their friendship began in the early 2000s when the duo starred together in Men, Women & Children, as reported by People magazine. The Oscars 2025 moment between the two received huge applause from the audience, which also included social media fans.
