Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler Talk ‘Murder Mystery 2’ Injuries: Back Problems and Hip Replacement Surgery

Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle Editor Adam Sandler may have done some impressive action sequences in “Murder Mystery 2,” but it sounds like he’s not jumping at the chance to do his own stunts again anytime soon.

The actor tells me he underwent hip replacement surgery not long after he and Jennifer Aniston wrapped the follow-up to their original “Murder Mystery” comedy. “My god damn hip, I had to change that at the end of the movie,” Sandler told me Tuesday at the film’s premiere at the Regency Village Theatre in Los Angeles. “I had been doing so many movies in a row.

I did ’Spaceman’ and I was hanging in harness all the time. I kept saying, ‘Something’s going on with my hip, man. I’m in trouble.’ And then during this and this other movie I did I was like, ‘Yeah, I definitely gotta x-ray that thing,’ and we were in trouble.” Tonight with jenniferaniston adamsandler jodieturnersmith markstrong melanielaurent murdermystery2 redcarpet premiere netflix Even though “Murder Mystery 2” director Jeremy Garelick described some of Sandler’s work as “Tom Cruise kind of stuff,” the funny man insists he’s not looking for a part in a “Mission: Impossible” flick. “Everything’s scary at 56 years old,” Sandler said. “You never know what the hell you’re gonna get up from.

I’m sluggy, man. My body hurts. Jennifer is in good shape. I didn’t think I needed to get in shape before the movie but then when we were shooting, I was like, ‘Man, I should have gotten in shape.’” It certainly didn’t look like anything was wrong before he hit the carpet for interviews.
