Adam Sandler Once Had To Stop Chris Farley From Attacking David Spade On ‘SNL’

Adam Sandler revealed something interesting which might make you see Tommy Boy in a whole new light. While they were working on Saturday Night Live, Chris Farley’s allegedly violent temper nearly drove him to attack David Spade.
It seems Farley’s role in Billy Madison was a bit closer to his actual personality than we’d thought. In that film, he played a bus driver who hated children so much that their usual behavior made him furious. Sandler may or may not have been inspired by this when he played Happy Gilmore, a golfer whose love for hockey made him a loose cannon, rivaling “Shooter” McGavin.
