Adam Sandler felt ‘dirty’ telling raunchy jokes in new film

Washington: Adam Sandler has admitted that he did not like playing a foul-mouthed stand-up comic in upcoming movie ‘Funny People’, because being a dad of two girls, he felt "dirty" telling rude jokes.

The ‘Wedding Singer’ star began his career at comedy clubs while he was studying at New York University. And that is when he was spotted by a talent scout, and was hired as a writer on hit US show ‘Saturday Night Live’. As his movie career took off, Sandler abandoned stand-up comedy, but returned to his roots with a role in Judd Apatow`s new film. However, the actor has now confessed that he felt guilty performing raunchy jokes, while his two daughters were asleep at his family home. "This was stuff I hadn`t done in a long time. I haven`t talked that filthy in front of people. I went on stage and was as filthy as I could be. Then I would drive home and I`d be in my driveway alone and think of my two little kids sleeping and I`d just feel like the biggest, dirtiest human being,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying. ANI
