Adam Sandlerraised some rock & roll hell to getBrendan Frasercast inAirheads.
DirectorMichael Lehmannwas “very against” Fraser, Sandler said.
“He was like, ‘I don’t get it.
Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, and Adam Sandler in ‘Airheads’.20th Century Fox/Everett
I don’t see the caveman being in the movie.’
Lehmann “changed his little tune” after that, Sandler said.
He added, “He didn’t want you.
I did, and the rest is pretty good.
You had a good life because of me.”
“And I said, ‘Don’t do that to him.'”
Still, Sandler is happy Fraser didAirheads.
“I’m happy you were the leader of the band, the Lone Rangers,” he said.
“Buscemi, my brother in the movie, loved you.
Ultimately, we got our tune on the air.
People liked it.”
Sander called the experience “one of the best shoots of my life, without a doubt.”
EW has reached out to reps for Lehmann and Shore for comment about the anecdote.
So that was good.
And I had the living-in-L.A.-out-of-your-truck-and-apartment routine down, but I was no musician.
And he’s like, ‘That’s okay.
None of those guys are either.'”
