Adam Sandler’s Daughter Had Her Real Bat Mitzvah Right Before Filming “You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah”
Talk about method acting.
It turns out that Adam Sandler’s daughter, Sunny Sandler, didn’t have to do too much outside preparation before starring in her dad’s latest film, You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah. Case in point? According to the film’s director, Sammi Cohen, the 14-year-old actress unintentionally went method by actually celebrating her own bat mitzvah right before filming her debut project about…celebrating a bat mitzvah.
“What’s really funny is right before we started prepping for the film, Sunny had her actual bat mitzvah,” the director told People. “So I went to that service, and we got to do the real-life bat mitzvah and then left to make the movie. It was a really fun life movie moment.”
Cohen then added that Sunny’s party “felt equally as fun as the parties you see [in the film],” which is based on Fiona Rosenbloom’s 2005 novel of the same name.
