Call it When Animals Attack—the Adam Sandler Edition. The funnyman stopped by The Late Show With David Letterman on Tuesday night while making the publicity rounds for his comedy follow up, Grown Ups 2, when he revealed he got a little more than he bargained for during a recent safari in Africa—a close encounter of the cheetah kind! “I did have an incident and I sent you guys the thing… I hung out with some lions,” Sandler told David Letterman. “You see ‘em from the jeep?” asked the gap-toothed comic.
“No, they let me get out,” said the 46-year-old thesp. “You go into this one place and you hang out with lions. No tigers. Tiger are in Asia by the way. I did not know that.” When quizzed by a skeptical Letterman why he was let out of a jeep to “mingle” with wild animals, Sandler then related his run-in with the cheetah. “They let me in with a cheetah,” he said. They let you in with a cheetah?!” exclaimed Dave. “And said I can feed the cheetah water from my hands,” continued Adam. “So I did it and something went wrong.”
