Adam Sandler's daughter is following in his footsteps.
The Happy Gilmore actor's youngest daughter Sunny has been carving her own position in the spotlight, and is now further establishing it with a cameo in one of her dad's upcoming movies.
The comedian shares two daughters with his wife Jackie Sandler, who he married in 2003, Sunny, who is 16, and Sadie, 18.
On Tuesday, January 7, a trailer for Amy Schumer's forthcoming comedy, Kinda Pregnant, dropped, and it features cameos from Sunny and her mom.
The movie, which was produced by Adam's Happy Madison production company, follows Amy's character Lainey, who, being jealous of her best friend's pregnancy, begins to wear a false pregnant belly — and accidentally gets to meet the man of her dreams, per IMDb.
