Sandler wrapped up Netflix basketball film Hustle in October 2021, which sees him play a struggling scout who discovers a star overseas player.

The Uncut Gems star joined forces with LeBron James‘ production company to work on the film.

His new projects are currently being kept under wraps and the 55-year-old has been keeping a low profile – which only fueled the rumors of his death.

On January 10, 2022, he shared a poignant tribute on Instagram to the late comic Bob Saget following his death.

Sandler wrote: “Great man. Funny as hell. Such a nice person. Love to Bob and his whole family.”

Sandler voiced Dracula in the first three films of the Hotel Transylvania movie franchise and also acted as an executive producer.

He was replaced by Brian Hull in the fourth installment of the films.
