Apr 04, 2023

As one of the pre-eminent actresses of her generation, Jennifer Aniston needs no introduction. She's been a notable fixture in Hollywood since her star-marking turn on the hit sitcom "Friends."

Born on Feb. 11, 1969, Aniston was raised in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, and grew up with a love for acting. The aspiring star put in plenty of hard work and dedication into pursuing her passion and ultimately made it her full-time career – and a highly successful one at that.

After rising to fame as Rachel Green on "Friends," Aniston has been one of the most loved actresses to grace the world of entertainment. The role earned Aniston a handful of awards, and it's clear that her career has only taken off since her breakthrough. 

Over the years, Aniston has continued to star in a number of television shows as well as many successful films. Some of her most notable works include "Marley & Me," "Bruce Almighty," "Along Came Polly," "We're The Millers" and "Horrible Bosses." 

On the big screen, Aniston’s most notable on-screen partner is comedian-actor Adam Sandler, whose dynamic with each other became well-loved by many fans. The two are one of the most beloved duos and friendships in Hollywood. 

After starring in the 2011 film “Just Go With It,” the two made their movie comeback in the 2019 film “Murder Mystery.” Following the huge success of the movie, the two decided to return again for the film’s sequel. 

At the March 29, 2023, “Murder Mystery 2” red carpet premiere, the two arrived together in a fashion that many of their fans have come to love over the years. 

Read on to learn more about how Aniston and Sandler arrived at the film’s red-carpet premiere of their new movie!

Aniston and Sandler got back together onscreen after 2011’s romantic comedy “Just Go With It” for the Netflix movie “Murder Mystery,” but they were friends long before they were co-stars. The duo spoke to Jimmy Kimmel about their adorable decades-long friendship in a 2019 episode of the show. 

Kimmel said: “You are quite a duo. I think you’re one of the most unexpected duos in all of everything.” 

Although it’s a big statement, it actually might be true. The glamorous Aniston and the hilarious but often unkempt Sandler are a comedy match made in heaven. The banter on Kimmel’s couch made that self-evident and transcended their on-screen chemistry.

The two revealed that they met through mutual friends while having breakfast at Jerry’s Deli over French toast. “We were friends before ‘Friends’," Aniston confessed. "We must have been like real family in another life."

Years later, the two decided to team up once again for “Murder Mystery 2.” Speaking to People Magazine about her co-star, Aniston gushed about her friendship with Sandler. 

"Yes, there's trust. We trust each other, and we know that we're going to have a good time," she said. "We have each other's back. We take care of each other – neutral, deep respect for each other."

Sandler has nothing but good things to say about Aniston, as he even recalled their French toast meet-up way back when. 

"I remember when we first met, we had breakfast together, and I thought she was funny as hell," he admitted. "Then I saw her a few more times, and I just always ... she made me happy when I'd see her."

As usual, Aniston was a head-turner at the red carpet premiere of Netflix’s “Murder Mystery 2.” She sported a silver Versace netted mini dress that accentuated her beautiful figure, while the 54-year-old actress’ bronze legs were also on display. While her accessories and makeup were on the down low, her look emphasized how beautiful and glowing Aniston is despite being considered an older actress by Hollywood's standards.

Sandler, on the other hand, wore the complete opposite of Aniston’s outfit at the red-carpet premiere. Dressed in “Sandlercore,” the 56-year-old actor wore a very laid-back getup at the premiere of his newest movie. Rocking only a New York Knicks gray hoodie, a pair of chino trousers and bright blue sneakers, Sandler seemed to be very much in character with his attire at the rather formal gathering. 

In fact, wearing everyday clothes during formal occasions has become Sandler's trademark throughout the years. In 2014, for the “Blended” movie premiere, while his wife looked stunning in a black dress, Sandler opted for a blue windbreaker and an orange top. At the “Just Go With It” premiere, he ditched the traditional tuxedo for a bright green hoodie and an Adidas shirt, which was a complete disconnect from his co-star’s formal outfits. 

Aniston, in an interview with Entertainment Tonight during the premiere, was horrified when she saw Sandler in a sweatshirt. "What the hell are you doing?!" Aniston screamed as she jokingly avoided Sandler. "I'm not standing next to him. Sweatpants." Sandler screamed back that Aniston texted him to wear his sweatshirt, but it seemed she actually said, "Please, don't wear your sweatshirt."

Although Aniston roasted Sandler quite brilliantly, it was all fun and jokes between the two, as the latter planted a kiss on his dear friend’s cheek as he exited the interview. Meanwhile, the duo proudly held hands during the photocall.
