Adam Sandler to play

Mon 23 Apr 2007 In: International News

Adam Sandler says there's a moral to his upcoming movie, in which he plays a heterosexual fireman who pretends to be gay. ``This movie says there's nothing wrong with being gay. There's just something wrong with being gay for Kevin James,'' Sandler told Newsweek. James, star of the American sitcom ‘The King of Queens,' and Sandler portray firemen pretending to be a gay couple to receive domestic partnership benefits. The film, called ‘I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry,' is scheduled to be released in the US on 20th July. “I know Kevin, and it's kind of a strange thing to have to play. So to ease the tension, before the first day of shooting, we had sex with each other,'' Sandler joked. “We just got it out of the way so it wouldn't be an issue. It's an old tip I picked up from working with (Jack) Nicholson.”     Ref: Newsweek (m)
