Steve Buscemi Says ‘Grown Ups’ Cast Ditched Him In The Rain While He Wore A Full-Body Cast: “I Thought We Were Friends”

It’s not always fun and games on an Adam Sandler set. David Spade reunited with his Grown Ups co-star Steve Buscemi, who recalled getting angry while filming one particular scene for the 2010 comedy.

Buscemi’s character in Grown Ups suffers a brutal waterpark injury that leaves him in a full-body cast by the time the big basketball game starts toward the end of the movie. While appearing on Spade and Saturday Night Live alum Dana Carvey‘s Fly on the Wall podcast, Buscemi looked back on filming in the uncomfortable cast.

“The whole cast [of actors] was there because it’s one of the big scenes, and it started to rain,” he said. “They got the scene, and then everybody just scatters.”

Buscemi continued, “I thought we were friends. Nobody’s checking on me. Then I thought I was done and the [assistant director] said, ‘Well, I think they want to get a shot where the dog comes up and sniffs your balls.'”

That was when the Fargo star hit his breaking point. “I actually got mad. I went, ‘Are you fucking kidding me!?'” he remembered, before revealing that the hands we see in the film were not his real hands.

Aside from Sandler, Spade and Buscemi, Grown Ups also stars Chris Rock, Kevin James, Rob Schneider, Salma Hayek and Maya Rudolph. It follows a group of lifelong friends who spend a weekend at the lake house from their childhood after reuniting as adults at their former basketball coach’s funeral.

When the movie came out more than a decade ago, Sandler confirmed that he wrote it with the cast — who happen to be his real-life friends — in mind.

“There was a lot of ad-libbing and a lot of jokes,” he told Collider at the time. “I wasn’t shocked by anybody, but everybody who watches the movie loves Spade. I think they’re used to every one of us doing good work and not used to David doing anything good.”

Grown Ups is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
