Adam Sandler shocked a fan in London as he slumped against the wall outside the five-star Claridge’s hotel in Mayfair. The actor, who was recently named Hollywood’s best-paid actor, sat in a doorway and appeared to be scrolling on his phone while sporting baggy blue shorts and a carton-and-black puffer jacket with a purple hood.
Adam has been in the UK more often while promoting his latest movie, Spaceman, and he flew in from Los Angeles prior to this rare sighting of him at Claridge’s. The 57-year-old was also spotted at the Kensington Leisure Centre in West London, where he played basketball in a casual outfit featuring baggy gray joggers and a large floral shirt.

A TikToker and model named Cacharel were in for a surprise upon sighting the actor on his “local basketball court. Cacherel recorded the moment when Adam went toe to toe in his red sneakers against a boy in uniform who appeared to be returning from school. “I’m in the ends yeah, west London. I pulled up to my local basketball court and look. Bro, that’s Adam Sandler, look bro, you lot think I’m messing,” the astonished content creator said.
While still in shock at Adam’s presence, the TikToker said he was “not playing” and echoed the center’s name. People in the comments agreed, saying the green net gave Adam’s location away. “Rich enough to catch a flight to just play basketball with some British kids, humble enough to do it dressed like someone’s granddad,” an impressed fan commented.
Another added that the father of two is “actually a serious baller” and asked others to “do your research.” “He pulls up to local courts all the time,” they added. “Lmaoooo. You said Adam Sandler, and I was like, okay. Then it really was him,” a follower wrote. Although there is no confirmation about the reason for Adam’s London stay, it appears he might be on a family vacation judging by his outfits and leisurely fun.
