Although comparatively successful and famous, Sandler and Apatow have enjoyed very different trajectories.
Sandler is the standup-turned-acting superstar whose partnership with streaming giantNetflixhas proven incredibly fruitful, as perWorld of Reel.
For his part, Apatow is one of the most prolific and beloved filmmakers in Hollywood.
AsTHRreports, Sandler and Apatow discussed their prior living arrangements during a joint appearance on60 Minutes Overtime.
“Back then, life was just doing stand-up or writing jokes.
You would sleep until noon every day and kind of stumble out,” Apatow recalled.
He added, “You would have to be at work at 8:30 at night.
Work was sometimes 15 minutes.
“Sandlerreportedly slept on a mattress on the floor without sheets, occasionally even sharing with a friend.
We were doing as comedians good enough to get by.”
