While he was promoting his latest movie Hustle, Adam Sandler had to explain why he's had a black eye in his recent TV appearances and the answer didn't exactly make him feel cool.
Although his long and varied film career has earned Sandler legions of fans over the years, it's likely his reputation for being sweet and accommodating to those fans that has kept them.
And of course, when fans really feel like they have a connection with someone, it's not unheard of for them to know about every little detail that's going on in that person's life. It's why a story of Sandler having to wait at an IHOP suddenly became a bigger deal than it's ever been when it's happened to us.
It's likely also why he's found himself answering for his recent black eye that sharp-eyed viewers and interviewers alike have now noticed. And it's apparently got a pretty funny story behind it.
