Adam Sandler Interrupts Conan O’Brien’s Monologue at the 97th Academy Awards in Casual Wear to Embrace Timothée Chalamet
The 97th Academy Awards delivered its usual mix of glamour, heartfelt speeches, and groundbreaking achievements, but one moment stood out above the rest: Adam Sandler made a surprise entrance during Conan O’Brien’s monologue, donning gym shorts and a sweatshirt, to embrace actor Timothée Chalamet.
In a ceremony filled with dazzling gowns and sharp tuxedos, Sandler opted for a refreshingly laid-back look, prompting laughter across the audience as Conan humorously addressed his attire. “Adam, what are you wearing?” O’Brien quipped, likening Sandler’s outfit to that of a casual gambler playing video poker late at night.
In response to the jibe, Sandler defended his choice, stating, “Nobody even thought about what I was wearing until you brought it up. I like the way I look. Because I’m a good person. My snazzy gym shorts and fluffy sweatshirt offend you so much that you had to mock me in front of my peers!” His playful retort drew laughter and applause from attendees.
Despite the playful banter, the moment took an unexpected turn when Sandler expressed his intent to leave the event early, eliciting gasps of disappointment from the crowd. Before making his exit, however, he seized the opportunity to give a shoutout to Chalamet, showcasing his often unpredictable comedic timing.
Leaning in close, Sandler playfully yelled “Chalamet!” right into Timothée’s ear, causing the audience to burst into laughter. Clad in a striking yellow suit, Chalamet was taken aback by the sudden display of affection before Sandler swept him into a warm and amusingly chaotic embrace.
As Sandler prepared to exit the stage, he couldn’t help but leave with a final humorous remark, shouting to the assembled stars, “Five-on-five basketball at Veteran Park tonight. Midnight tipoff. The guy from… ‘Nosterafu’”—stumbling over the actual title of the horror film. This clever slip sent the crowd into fits of laughter.
