2015\u2019s western action comedy The Ridiculous 6 may have fallen flat in front of critics, but it introduced Hollywood fans to an unlikely on-screen partnership in the form of Adam Sandler and country singer Blake Shelton. The collaboration seems to have been a surprise for Shelton as well, as the God\u2019s Country singer opened up about his experience acting alongside the comedy veteran in a recent interview.<\/p>\n
While speaking with People<\/a>, the 49-year-old musician revealed that he had always been a fan of the Happy Gilmore star and enjoyed sharing the screen with Sandler despite being a \u201cnervous wreck\u201d in the initial stages. <\/p>\n \u201cI was such a fan. I didn\u2019t know what he was going to be like, but I wanted him to be like the guy that\u2019s in all these movies, and sure enough, he is. And he literally plays himself, I think, in all of his movies,\u201d Blake Shelton said of Adam Sandler. <\/p>\n Explaining how it was to play out a fictional role for the first time alongside an industry veteran, Shelton noted, \u201cIt was just so much fun, but leading up to that, I was a nervous wreck because I had to act, and I never really acted before. Everything about it was just like a fish out of water for me, but Adam instantly made me feel comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n Blake Shelton finally concluded his account on Adam Sandler by saying, \u201cYou can\u2019t help [but] smile when you\u2019re around that guy.\u201d<\/p>\n Directed by\u00a0Frank Coraci and featuring Terry Crews, Jorge Garcia, Taylor Lautner, Rob Schneider, Luke Wilson, and Will Forte, along with Sandler, Shelton, and others, The Ridiculous 6 premiered in theaters on December 11, 2015.
