Rob Schneider knows this firsthand, especially with his decades-long friendship with Adam Sandler.<\/p>\n<p>Through Hollywood\u2019s highs and lows, Schneider credits Sandler\u2019s unwavering loyalty over the past 30 years. No matter the challenges, Sandler has stood by his side, proving that genuine friendship isn\u2019t swayed by public opinion or trends.<\/p>\n<p>The two first bonded in the early \u201890s while working on &#8220;Saturday Night Live,&#8221; where their friendship took root in the world of sketch comedy. Sandler recognized Schneider\u2019s talent, casting him in both prominent and supporting roles in hit films. Whether it was &#8220;The Waterboy&#8221; or cameos in &#8220;Grown Ups&#8221; and beyond, Schneider became a staple in Sandler\u2019s films.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s the off-screen gestures Schneider holds closest to his heart. In a recent interview promoting his book &#8220;You Can Do It! Speak Your Mind, America,&#8221; Schneider shared, \u201cIf it weren\u2019t for him, I might be dancing in a hot dog costume at some mall right now.\u201d He added, \u201cHe\u2019s always pulling me up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In this heartfelt video shared by @<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@celebrities.gossip\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:celebrities.gossip;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">celebrities.gossip<\/a> on July 30, Schneider opens up about just how much Sandler means to him:<\/p>\n<p>Sandler\u2019s willingness to continue including Schneider in his projects, even when the actor\u2019s views didn\u2019t always align with Hollywood\u2019s mainstream, is something Schneider will forever be grateful for. \u201cI owe him for the rest of my life,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/adam-sandler-including-disney-star-151325620.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Adam Sandler Reveals Why He Included This Late Disney Star in &#039;Happy Gilmore 2&#039;;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Related: Adam Sandler Reveals Why He Included This Late Disney Star in &#8216;Happy Gilmore 2&#8217;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sandler\u2019s loyalty is evident in his choices to consistently surround himself with the same circle of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/happy-gilmore-2-had-painful-074930832.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:friends in his films;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">friends in his films<\/a>.
