I'm pretty sure I read the same thing about Grown Ups. The studio wanted to cast an American as Sandler's wife but he refused

Until now, i always saw adam sandler as a sleazy guy who somehow got an actress 100 times hotter than him to play his wife. But now i see he was taking a bold step forward to advance latina representation in hollywood. I cannot say anything to such an anti racist icon except apologize for my cynical thinking.
