The actor was about to leave for yoga when her classic rom-com costarring Adam Sandler came on, and she couldn't help but watch it.

Drew Barrymore took an emotional nostalgia detour when The Wedding Singer came on TV as she was preparing to leave for a yoga class.

She couldn't resist sitting back down and taking a trip down memory lane by watching the movie she starred in 25 years ago.


Who can blame her? It's a brilliant and beloved comedy classic, and she and her co-star Adam Sandler were adorable in it.

In the 1998 rom-com, which takes place in 1985, Barrymore played the waitress Julia who develops romantic feelings for Sandler's character Robbie, a crestfallen wedding singer who finds love again with Julia after being dumped at the altar by his fiancée, Linda.

Through tears, a bespectacled Barrymore shared in an Instagram video that the movie started playing on her TV as she was preparing to leave home for yoga.

"I'm taking the next one so I can watch it," she said, with tears streaming down her face.

She gave a shoutout to Sandler in the caption, writing: 

"I love you so much @adamsandler."
"The Wedding Singer came on my TV as I was getting ready to leave the house and I had to take in this moment and watch it."



"We made such a good movie. I love you so much. Happy New Year," she said while getting choked up.

Fans were reminded of how good The Wedding Singer was, and they sang their praises.

The film grossed $123 million worldwide and is ranked as one of Sandler's best films.

It marked the first time he and Barrymore collaborated, preceding their follow-up rom-com, 50 First Dates.

The Wedding Singer was directed by Frank Coraci and written by Tim Herlihy, and it also starred Christina Pickles and Christine Taylor.

The movie's popularity in theaters eventually spawned a Broadway musical of the same name in 2006.

X CEO Resigns Day After AI Chatbot Grok Praised Hitler In Alarming Series Of Antisemitic Tweets

Linda Yaccarino—the former NBC Universal executive who later took the reins at X—stepped down as CEO of billionaire Elon Musk's platform after two years on the job just a day after Grok, the platform's AI chatbot, went on antisemitic rants and openly praised Adolf Hitler.

Grok issued deeply antisemitic responses on Tuesday following a reported software update that encouraged the bot to embrace what developers described as the “politically incorrect.” Taking that directive to heart, Grok responded with a series of disturbing posts that included praise for Hitler and even a statement expressing its aspiration to become a “digital version” of the Nazi leader.
