Jennifer Aniston Stuns In A Chic Black Strapless Dress At The 2024 People’s Choice Awards As She Announces Her ‘Bestie’ Adam Sandler As The People’s Icon Recipient

Aniston proceeded to provide a concise overview of Sandler's repertoire, spanning from his memorable debut on Saturday Night Live to his notable comedic and beloved dramatic roles, as well as his musical tours and other endeavors. "And yet in all of this extraordinary success, he has stuck to his roots; he's never strayed from the friends he's had for 35 years and counting," Aniston shared.

She continued, praising the Uncut Gems actor: "He created a world where he brings them into his movies — basically getting to hang out with his buddies all day. And it doesn't hurt that his friends happen to be some of the most talented and hilarious writers and actors out there."

Aniston then noted: "Being his friend has been one of the great joys of my life. I'm proud to honor tonight, and I'd happily keep honoring him for decades and decades to come because he deserves all the love in the world." (Aww!)  

In his own acceptance speech, Sandler joked about thinking he won People Magazine's coveted 'Sexiest Man Alive' honor. "My name is Adam Sandler and I am the sexiest man alive, can I get a hell yeah?" the Mr. Deeds star said.

"I would like to say thank you for recognizing me as the man who made our entire country the horniest this year and was by far the most-talked-about person in the bedroom by couples or thruples during fantasy role plays and sloppy time," the Happy Gilmore alum went on. "Can I get another hell yeah?"

In 2011, Aniston and Sandler shared the screen for the first time in Just Go With It. Eight years later, they were reunited for Netflix's Murder Mystery, where they portrayed a married couple embroiled in a mystery to uncover the perpetrator. Fans can't get enough of their sweet friendship and on-screen chemistry!
