Adam Sandler reveals he has learned to deal with criticism: Here’s how

Adam Sandler has recently explained how he deal with criticism.

According to Deadline, Sandler had a discussion on his Netflix show Hustle, where he talked about the reviews, he received for his movie Billy Madison, the first movie he coauthored with Tim Herlihy.

“When I was 17 and I got into this, I didn’t think about critics … I didn’t even realise that stuff was coming. I just thought you made movies, people go see it,” said the Blended actor.

The Click star continued, “When Billy Madison came out, me and my friend who wrote it, we were just like, ‘Oh yeah, they’re going to write about this in New York!’ We grew up reading the papers, we were going to NYU. And then we read the first one and we were like, ‘Oh my god, what happened?”

“They hate us.’ And then we were like, ‘It must have been this paper,’ but then 90% of the papers are going, ‘This is garbage,’” remarked Just Go With It actor.

Sandler disclosed that they stopped reading the critic reviews, stating, “I and Herlihy decided to preserve our mental health. Maybe we shouldn’t read this stuff because it’s so harsh.”

Later, “everything has turned out excellent,” pointed out Sandler

“And it’s okay, I get it. Critics aren’t going to connect with certain stuff and what they want to see. I understand that it’s not clicking with them,” he added.
