Hailee Steinfeld on Telling Josh Allen About Adam Sandler, Golden Globes

Hailee Steinfeld had a pitch-perfect celeb run-in at the 2026 Golden Globes. 

After stepping out as a presenter at the 83rd annual event in Los Angeles, the Sinners star revealed that she was most excited to tell her husband Josh Allen about the sweet conversation she had with Adam Sandler on the red carpet.

“For context, Adam Sandler is a permanent fixture in our house. We always have one of his movies on,” Hailee explained in her Beau Society newsletter Jan. 16, noting that “the other night” they were watching his 2011 comedy Just Go With It. “So when Adam Sandler waved me down by the entrance to the Globes, and said, ‘Hey, buddy! I loved Sinners! You’re doing amazing. And congrats to Josh!’ I could not wait to tell my husband.”

Indeed, the Oscar nominee and the Buffalo Bills quarterback, both 29, are such big fans of Adam that they even dressed as characters Bobby Boucher and Vicki Vallencourt from his 1998 movie Waterboy for Halloween this past year, as evidenced by a throwback photo of the couple in their costumes shared alongside the anecdote.
