George Clooney had Adam Sandler’s nickname banned on ‘Jay Kelly’
George Clooney banned the use of Adam Sandler’s nickname on the set of their movie Jay Kelly.
The former E.R. star plays the title role of an ageing actor in the new drama with Sandler as Kelly’s manager Ron.
Clooney just revealed that he urged the rest of the cast and crew not to call his co-star the “Sandman” while they were shooting because he wanted Sandler to be taken seriously for his “incredible talent.”
The actor told The Hollywood Reporter: “You get treated the way you treat yourself. This was a different kind of role for Adam, and I wanted to make sure that he wasn’t making fun of his incredible talent.”
“He likes to just deflect and I was like: ‘You know what, dude, you’re really good in this film and you’re a really good actor and let’s not just make jokes,'” the Wolfs talent added.
However, Sandler insisted on keeping his nickname, adding: “I still call myself the Sandman; he [Clooney] can’t stop me.”
“He just is very protective over me. He’s a really nice guy. We would do all these scenes together and we’d get deep together and he’d say: ‘I just want people to recognize that’ and I’d say: ‘I’m OK, I like just working hard,’ and he’d say: ‘No.’ He’s very nice, he’s trying to look out for me,’” the Happy Gilmore star mentioned.
Jay Kelly will open in few cinemas on November 14 before arriving on Netflix on December 5.

Sarah Ferguson puts King Charles in tough spot with bombshell offer
Royal family members hold their breath as new drama is set to unfold from Sarah Ferguson’s side.
After losing her royal titles and perks, Fergie has been lying low in order to keep away from further controversy.
Most recently, she was photographed in Austria at a luxury ski resort.
But the sources have been claiming that she will not keep quiet; instead, she tells her side of the story, which could be disastrous for King Charles and his family.
According to Woman’s Day, the former Duchess of York has been offered $2.45million for a tell-all interview by an American journalist.
“Sarah’s come out of shock and is now furious at what’s happened to her life. She wants to sit down and tell her side of her association with Epstein – and what she knew in hindsight about Andrew’s association. And she’s got a LOT to tell,” an insider shared.
Beatrice and Eugenie’s mother’s revelations would be dangerous and could put the monarchy at tough spot.
“She and Andrew had an open arrangement, so if she goes down, they all go down,” the source said.
It has been claimed that Sarah Ferguson is going to become the “real thorn in the crown” for the King and the Prince of Wales.
Not only that, she might exposed more details about her former husband Andrew’s ties with Epstein.

22 India-backed terrorists killed in Khyber intelligence-based operation, says ISPR
- IBO conducted on reported presence of India-backed militants: ISPR.
- Says weapons and ammunition also recovered from killed terrorists.
- Sanitisation operation continues to eliminate any other militants.
Security forces and law enforcement agencies neutralised at least 22 India-sponsored terrorists during an intelligence-based operation in the Khyber district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on April 21, a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Friday.
According to the military’s media wing, the joint operation was conducted in response to the reported presence of India-backed militants, also known as Fitna al-Khawarij.
It added that during the operation, the terrorists resorted to indiscriminate firing out of panic and in an attempt to avoid capture. As a result, a 10-year-old innocent child was martyred.
The ISPR added that weapons and ammunition were also recovered from killed India-sponsored terrorists, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in the area.
“Sanitisation operation is being conducted to eliminate any other Indian-sponsored kharji found in the area,” the ISPR said, adding that the relentless counter-terrorism campaign under vision “Azm-e-Istehkam” will continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country.
“Such sacrifices of our innocent civilians further strengthen our resolve.”
Pakistan has witnessed a spike in cross-border militant activity, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, both of which share a border with Afghanistan, since the Afghan Taliban took control in 2021.
In response to the escalating attacks, Pakistan launched “Operation Ghazab lil-Haq,” during which approximately 796 Afghan Taliban fighters and allied militants were killed, according to Information Minister Attaullah Tarar.
More than 1,000 Afghan Taliban fighters and terrorists were also injured during the Operation Ghazab lil-Haq. The minister had said that 286 posts of the Afghan Taliban regime had been destroyed and 44 captured.
In October 2025, the two countries were also involved in border clashes after Afghan Taliban fighters and allied militants carried out unprovoked assaults on Pakistan’s border positions.
The ensuing fighting resulted in the deaths of over 200 Taliban and affiliated militants, while 23 Pakistani soldiers were martyred in the line of duty.
