Adam Sandler received the People’s Icon Award at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards for his iconic comedy roles and contributions to the film industry.
In his acceptance speech, he humorously acknowledged being mistakenly named the “Sexiest Man Alive” and thanked the academy for recognizing him as the most talked-about person in the bedroom.
“My name is Adam Sandler and I am the sexiest man alive, can I get a hell yeah?” Sandler read from his pre-written speech.

“To the PEOPLE Magazine’s academy members of hotness and sexual attractiveness I would like to say thank you for recognizing me as the man who made our entire country the horniest this year and was by far the most-talked-about person in the bedroom by couples or throuples during fantasy role plays and sloppy time. Can I get another hell yeah?” he said.
“I am trying to be gracious, PEOPLE Magazine, but I have to admit three words keep popping into my head right now: ‘It’s about freaking time!’” he said. “For decades, Adam Sandler has been waiting patiently on the sexy bench.”
Sandler, known for hits like “Grown Ups” and “Hotel Transylvania,” has a successful career spanning over 30 years, with numerous awards and accolades.
“Adam Sandler has been a fixture in the industry for decades, entertaining us since he got his start on Saturday Night Live more than 30 years ago,” NBCUniversal Entertainment executive Jen Neal said. “From Billy Madison to Mr. Deeds, his unforgettable characters have endured the test of time and left their mark on audiences for generations. We’re excited to honor him with this year’s People’s Icon Award.”
His upcoming project is the sci-fi drama “Spaceman.”
