The 'SNL' alum seemed caught off guard after 'People' magazine informed him that he's actually a Gen Z style icon—and that he even has a look named after him.

Make us preferred on Google

Adam Sandler just learned that his style is an inspiration for Gen Z, and his hysterical reaction is everything.

Everyone, including the actor himself, knows Sandler has a style. His name has practically become synonymous with extra long athletic shorts.


You can almost always expect him to show up anywhere sporting a printed polo, below-the-knee shorts, crew socks and sneakers.

Sandler is completely aware of the way others perceive his extreme athleisure look, too.

He's made mention of the disdain his daughters have for his go-to getup, and Jennifer Aniston has even called out his less-than-tailored red carpet appearances.

Not that it makes any difference to him.

But what the Grown Ups co-writer and star didn't realize, however, is that his look has inspired an entire generation.

Yes, this look.


While speaking with People at a premiere for his new Netflix special Love You, Sandler was asked if he was aware of his style icon status.

The SNL alum, sporting the classier long track pants variation of his look, responded:

"You know, this is an accidental thing but here I am wearing goofy clothes and...I don't know."
"I don't think about it but I appreciate you sayin' that."

But then the interviewer clarified that a whole generation aspires to achieve his fashion vibe, enlightening him on the "Madam Sandler" movement and explaining the long shorts and small crop top craze.

Unable to contain a Sandler-esque full belly laugh, he replied:

"A crop top I used to wear when I was young."
"I used to wear the half-shirt. Now, it would not be great for anybody."
"I get it, comfortable — that sounds like a good outfit."

She later referred to herself as the "crazy plane lady" and asked for forgiveness.

TV news reporters are trained not to cry—they wouldn't be able to report the news otherwise. But some tragedies are simply too much for even the steeliest among us.
