Did You Catch Adam Sandler’s Daughter Making a Cameo in His New Netflix Movie “Spaceman”?
The actor's 15-year-old daughter Sunny has a small role in the sci-fi drama
Adam Sandler’s daughters, Sadie, 17, and Sunny, 15, have been acting with their dad for years. They’ve appeared in his movies like Hubie Halloween and even played his kids in last year’s You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah.
Sunny carries on the tradition with a small role in Spaceman.
In the new Netflix movie, Sandler plays Jakub Prochazka, a Czech astronaut on a lengthy solo mission in outer space. Unhappy while at home alone on Earth, his pregnant wife Lenka (Carey Mulligan) decides to leave him.
A spider-alien creature (voiced by Paul Dano) makes its way on the spaceship and counsels the lonely Jakub, who feels his wife slipping away.
Sandler’s daughter Sunny appears early on in the film when Jakub holds a virtual press conference with the public and members of the media.
“Hello from the outskirts of Jupiter. I’m very excited to be talking to you from here,” says Jakub, who receives a round of applause.
Jakub’s superior, Commissioner Tuma (played by Isabella Rossellini) then invites the astronaut to answer some questions from “the people of the world.”
The first query comes from a girl played by Sunny. “Hello. My name is Anna. I’m in sixth grade,” she says. “And I read that you’re the loneliest man in the world.”
Before he can answer, Tuma cuts in. “I think what Anna here is saying is that the commander is the farthest away from anyone in history. Is that what you mean?”

“Does it make you sad to be so far away?” Anna then asks Jakub.
“Well I am some 500 million kilometers away. And yes, this is a solo mission, but I know I’ll be coming back soon. I’m nearing the halfway mark for my scheduled return to Earth, and I have so much work to do. And I get to talk to people from all over the world like you and mission control.”
“And your wife Lenka of course,” says Tuma.
"We talk every day,” says Jakub. “What I’m doing is for everyone back home, and that makes me very proud. No, I am not the loneliest man in the world.”
Sandler told PEOPLE in February he and his wife Jackie encourage their aspiring actor daughters to watch his Spaceman costar, three-time Oscar nominee Mulligan, for acting pointers. “We go, ‘Well, watch Carey,’” he says.
"I love Carey. Listen, it's stuff she does in a movie, there's no way I could do it. There's no way I could. I just watch her and I say, ‘Well, that is just the next level of acting,’” Sandler added.
“I was just trying to make sure I stayed out of the way for Carey. She's amazing. It's so real. It's so effortless,” he said.
Sandler recalled being so moved during one scene in with Lenka tapes a message to Jakub, explaining that she’s leaving him.

“This one scene—I was not in it—but I was there that day and I watched Carey do this kind of saying goodbye scene to me. And my goodness, I couldn't believe how amazing it was to watch and how deep it went like that,” he adds.
Spaceman is now streaming on Netflix.
