Clooney Says He Got Sandler to Suit Up at NYFF as 'Jay Kelly' Promotion Builds

The Baumbach film next plays to audiences in a limited U.S. run on Nov. 14 before arriving on Netflix Dec. 5.

Overview

  • At the New York Film Festival premiere, George Clooney told People he has been making Adam Sandler wear suits for recent red carpets.
  • They appeared in matching deep navy suits and black leather shoes at NYFF, following a coordinated tuxedo moment at the Venice Film Festival.
  • Clooney praised Sandler as “the sweetest man in the world” and “a dear friend,” highlighting their easy rapport during the press push.
  • Sandler’s casual, baggy look remains part of his identity, and he told Complex in July he unintentionally became a style icon for that wardrobe.
  • Jay Kelly is written and directed by Noah Baumbach, with Clooney playing an aging A‑list star and Sandler his devoted manager, as Clooney also notes a personal shift toward family priorities in comments to Extra.
