His hips don’t lie.
Adam Sandler revealed that he underwent hip substitute surgery after wrapping the Netflix comedy “Murder Mystery 2.”
“My goddamn hip, I had to alter that at the top of the movie,” Sandler, 56, said during an interview with Variety on Tuesday on the movie premiere in Los Angeles.
He explained that he “had been doing so many movies in a row,” including the upcoming film “Spaceman,” during which he was put into a dangling harness for scenes.
That’s when he noticed his hip hitch.
“I kept saying, ‘Something’s happening with my hip, man. I’m in trouble,’” he recalled.
“After which during this and this other movie I did, I used to be like, ‘Yeah, I definitely gotta X-ray that thing,’ and we were in trouble.”
The Post has reached out to Sandler’s representatives for comment.
The “Grown Ups” star admitted that health-related problems are scarier at his age.
“You never know what the hell you’re gonna rise up from,” he said. “I’m sluggy, man. My body hurts.”
He also praised his co-star and shut friend, Jennifer Aniston, for being in such great shape while they filmed the flick, the sequel to the unique 2019 comedy.
Sandler’s hip surgery occurred near Labor Day 2022, in keeping with “Entertainment Tonight,” and he was seen walking around his neighborhood with a cane on the time.
In December, he told Page Six that the surgery made him feel “old.”
“It’s only painful to say out loud,” Sandler joked on the 2022 Gotham Awards. “I say it was due to basketball in order that feels a bit of bit rugged, but then being unable to tie my very own shoe didn’t feel rugged.”
While appearing on his dear friend Drew Barrymore’s talk show this week alongside Aniston, he and Barrymore spoke more about aging and his fluctuating weight over time.
Barrymore identified that his signature basketball shorts style had develop into popular amongst kids as of late.
“All I see immediately in those pictures is quite a lot of different weights.” he said, about which the host agreed, revealing that the 2 all the time discuss their bodies together.
“‘How ya doin’ today?’ … ‘Fat,’” Barrymore joked. “‘How ya doin’ today?’ … ‘Skinny.’ ‘How ya doin’ today?’ … ‘Mid.’”
