Hustle Connected with Adam Sandler Personally
Netflix
Adam Sandler recently spoke about why he did the film in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly. Sandler felt that the scenes resonated with him very well, as he related to the feeling of getting overlooked, as do lots of people. The actor also likes the idea of playing the mentor role, which is something similar to Burgess Meredith’s Mickey in the original Rocky movies, and it was overall a very appealing role for Sandler.
Hustle will start streaming on Netflix on June 8, 2022.
