LOS ANGELES:

He has been tickling the funny bone for 20 years with his mindless, slapstick Hollywood comedies and black humour, but acting in Bedtime Stories has inspired Adam Sandler to take on more family-friendly movies. The actor says such movies will help him face his two children more comfortably.

“I am shooting a movie right now, Funny People, and when I come home at night, I feel so filthy. I can’t look my children in the eye. I hope they never see these other movies I make,” Sandler said.

“But when I was shooting Bedtime Stories, I’d come home at night, see my children and feel like I am a good person. I wanted to make a movie that my children could watch someday and actually look me in the eye afterwards,” added the actor. — Agencies
