Adam Sandler made a personal admission that sent Swifties and the Internet into a frenzy.

At a recent press conference where the American comedian is currently promoting his upcoming film Happy Gilmore 2, Sandler and his co-star Julie Bowen were asked by the interviewer what jobs they would have if they weren't actors. Without hesitation, the American comedian immediately said "Swiftie" and that he would "just be on the road with Swiftie. Professional Swiftie!"

He'd "just be going on, just screaming 'Taylor! I love you' and then trying to get a glimpse of Travis [Kelce]. That's it," the comedian joked.

The interviewer continued on with this banter, saying that Sandler would be "selling merch, posters." Then, Sandler interrupted excitedly, saying, "Selling merch would be great!"

It is well known that the 58-year-old comedian and his two daughters, Sunny and Sadie Sandler, are huge Swifties. He was seen attending the final night of Swift's string of Los Angeles shows at SoFi Stadium on August 9, 2023.

Sandler and his family also attended the Eras Tour Film premiere in Los Angeles back in October 2023, where the "Cruel Summer" singer greeted the family with hugs.

This is not the first time the 500 First Dates actor has praised Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce, who makes a cameo in Happy Gilmore 2, during the film's press tour. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight last Wednesday, Sandler admitted that his daughters have met the "Shake It Off" singer multiple times and "she's ridiculously nice and warm."

Happy Gilmore 2 stars Sandler, Bowen, Christopher McDonald, Dennis Dugan, Ben Stiller, Benny Safdie and Bad Bunny. The sequel to the 1996 film Happy Gilmore takes place 30 years after winning his first Tour Championship. Happy Gilmore (Sandler) is now a retired golfer, but he returns to the sport to help pay for his daughter Vienna's (Sunny Sandler) ballet school. The sports-comedy is directed by Kyle Newacheck and co-written by Tim Herlihy and Sandler.

Fans can watch Happy Gilmore 2 starting this Friday on Netflix.
