Nothing will get betweenAdam Sandlerand his favorite candy bar.
On Monday, the actor, 57, attended theLos Angeles premiereof his new movieSpaceman, held at the Egyptian Theater, where he spoke about his ultimate sweet treat — which happens to be discontinued.
With him playing Jakub Prochazka, an astronaut on a solo mission to Jupiter, in his new movie, reporters wanted to know what kind of junk food he’d take with him if he were to head into space.
“Oh, that’s good. I guess right now a Marathon bar. You ever have one of those? They don’t make them anymore. Maybe they make only a few,” Sandler told reporters.
When asked if he has a “secret factory” making the tasty treat, theMurder Mysterystar replied, “That’s good. No, I don’t. Maybe I do. I’m Sandler for God’s sake, I can get a Marathon bar, all right.”
A Mars spokesperson told PEOPLE of Sandler’s love of the snack, “While we might not be able to reunite Adam and Marathon – M&M’S have been a great space snack since the 1980s.”
The Marathon bar, which was discontinued in 1981 after an eight-year run, according toThe Daily Meal, was a combination of chocolate and caramel in a braided-like bar. The Daily Meal points out that Cadbury’s Curly Wurly bars are quite similar, andscarcely availablein the U.S. — so perhaps that’s what Sandler is able to get his hands on.
When asked if casting his teen daughters in films is the best way to spend time with them, theWaterboyactor admitted, “They still don’t talk to you. They go do their thing.” He added: “They do the best they can, and then they go do their life. I am on the side going, ‘Love you.’ I say I love you a lot to them.”
Sadie and Sunny have been working alongside their famous father for more than a decade now, regularly starring in films with their model-actress mother,Jackie, 49, as well, including the 2023 Netflix movieYou Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah.
