Sometimes the most unexpected combinations are the most delightful: think French fries and ice cream; honey and pepperoni; watermelon and spice. Add to the list: Adam Sandler and Timothée Chalamet, with a light sprinkle of pick-up basketball and a dash of broin’ around to tie the whole thing together.
The actors were spotted in New York City’s Soho neighborhood Thursday, playing a game of three-on-three basketball. Sandler, 56, sported a gray t-shirt emblazoned with “let me ask my wife,” while Chalamet, 27, kept things slogan-free in a plain t-shirt and cargo shorts made of sweatpants material. Both had meticulously scrunched white socks.
The two worked together in 2014’s Men, Women, & Children. Vanity Fair has reached out to reps for both for comment on whether they’re collaborating on another project, or if this was just a friendly ball hang.
The cherry on top of this very casual Thursday sundae, to continue our culinary metaphor, is that Chalamet appears to have bought his shoes on the way to the game: He was caught in snaps showing up in a different pair of sneakers and holding a Foot Locker bag. In the photos of the game, he’s wearing a gleaming pair of brand-new Adidas Trae Young 2.0 shoes, and the shoebox can be spotted in the background.
Sandler’s daughters are supposedly also big fans of Chalamet, if their dad’s gentle ribbing while accepting a Gotham Award in November 2022 is anything to go by.
“I don’t want to spend the whole night that’s supposed to be about me and my greatness listening to you two newly pubertized buffoons screaming, ‘Where is Timothée Chalamet and how can we legally squeeze that fine little Jewish ass of his?’” he said.
