Ariana Grande Brought Up The Adam Sandler Movie That Always Makes Her Cry, And It’s Definitely Not The One I Would Have Guessed

by

Ariana Grande has never shied away from expressing her feelings, whether through her songs, social media posts, casual conversations, or even shedding tears with her co-star Cynthia Erivo during Wicked events. Now, she’s unveiled the film that consistently brings her to tears. It may come as a shock, but this renowned pop artist admitted that one of Adam Sandler’s most popular comedy movies, specifically The Waterboy, leaves her reaching for the tissues. While Sandler is celebrated for his dramatic roles such as Uncut Gems and Punch Drunk Love, and some of the best romantic comedies ever made, Grande’s unexpected tearjerker is The Waterboy. And truthfully, it’s a choice that might seem unusual but it carries a sweet sentiment.

In a video interview posted to W Magazine’s Instagram, the “7 Rings” performer explained what it is about Adam Sandler’s quirky underdog tale that gets her every time. As she tells it:

There are numerous films that bring tears to my eyes, one of which is “The Waterboy” starring Adam Sandler. Whenever they’re unkind to Bobby Boucher, I can’t help but shed tears. I dislike seeing him treated that way. I adore Bobby Boucher deeply. When he asks, ‘Could you still be my friend?’, I just can’t hold back the emotions. However, I am quite emotional and tend to cry at almost everything.

It’s not hard to imagine why Ariana Grande finds herself deeply identifying with Bobby Boucher, the waterboy-turned-football hero, portrayed by Adam Sandler in “The Waterboy.” Throughout the movie, Bobby faces relentless mockery, but ultimately proves his detractors wrong. Given Ariana’s past experiences dealing with public criticism as a former Nickelodeon star, it’s likely that Bobby’s journey resonates with her on a deeply personal level.

This disclosure is made during a particularly emotional period for the “Bang Bang” singer, who happens to be in the midst of eagerly awaiting her part in the upcoming Wicked film. During this time, Grande has been forthright about the profound impact that ongoing discussions regarding her personal life and physical appearance have had on her. Lately, media attention has centered on fan theories concerning her body, fueled by her role in the recent box office hit Wicked and her high-profile relationship with fellow Wicked: For Good cast member Ethan Slater.

Ethan Slater has explained the reason behind Jennifer Carreras, formerly of “Sam & Cat,” and Cynthia Erivo frequently appearing emotional at public events. According to Slater, he expressed his thoughts on the matter.

They’re both similar… ‘I guess we wept a hundred more times. Perhaps people are growing tired.’ However, I believe it arises from an incredibly sincere part of them.

It’s understandable if one feels a bit overloaded with the constant media scrutiny – it can be overwhelming indeed. Sometimes, shedding tears can help alleviate stress. Ariana Grande appears to have an exceptionally empathetic nature, which might account for why the movie “The Waterboy” resonates deeply with her. And you know what? It’s fortunate for her that Bobby Boucher values ‘premium water,’ a trait that could undoubtedly be useful following a day filled with emotional interviews and promotional events.
