Adam Sandler recently recalled a 1995 NBA game where he felt completely overshadowed by George Clooney's immense fame, stemming from his role in 'ER.'

Clooney, in turn, remembered the outing as enjoyable, highlighting their enduring friendship.
The two actors, set to star together in the upcoming film 'Jay Kelly,' discussed their evolving understanding of fame. Clooney shared how his aunt's struggles with stardom after her career waned provided him an early, cautionary lesson. He emphasized that success is often intertwined with significant failure, making fame less about personal attributes and more about external circumstances.

He stressed the importance of perseverance, noting that his youthful determination fueled his drive until his career took off. Their shared experiences and similar upbringings, where friendships played a crucial role, have cemented their bond as they reunite for their new project.
