Adam Sandler appeared on Thursday’s “Good Morning America,” where he spoke about his new Netflix movie, Sandy Wexler. Watch the full “GMA” interview below!

Before the actor discussed his upcoming film, the “GMA” panel asked Sandler which of his movies people quote to him the most in public. “When I’m around my kids’ friends, they talk about Hotel Transylvania. I have to do Dracula a lot,” Sandler joked. “My older movies, Billy Madison and stuff like that, I hear those.”

Sandler went on to talk about about his role in the new Netflix original film, which is loosely based on the life and career of his manager, Sandy Wernick. “It is based on my manager. The story is kind of different, I’m a manager in the 90’s who has a client list that’s not very talented,” the actor said. “Then I meet Jennifer Hudson at Magic Mountain, I see her singing and she becomes my biggest client. She becomes a superstar.”

The actor continued, “It’s a little different from what my real manager’s life is, but the voice I do and some of the moves I do, are similar to Sandy Wernick.” Watch the full interview below, in which the “GMA” hosts reveal a throwback snap of Sandler as a teenager when he was voted “Class Clown.”
