The You Don't Mess With The Zohan actor plays a stand-up comedian who discovers he has an untreatable blood disorder in the upcoming film.
According to Contactmusic, Sandler explained: "I'd rather be funny. When I have to do stuff like that I'm glad when the day's over. It was a lot of work, and when I finished it, I hugged the director and I was very relieved to take a break.
"I don't know how these other actors go movie to movie and lose their mind in their roles and have a real life. I was happy to jump into my real life - be with my kids and wife."
