Billy Madison will go down in history as one of Adam Sandler’s best movies of all time. Recently, Sandler reminisced with Conan about working on Billy Madison and that dodgeball scene, which involved a bunch of first graders.
In case you did not know, Sandler was not faking that dodgeball scene with those kid background actors. In fact, according to Sandler, a few of the kids couldn’t handle it, and some of the parents stepped in when the scene cut and one of the kids was showing some emotion. Also, the parents apparently didn’t explain to their children they will be playing dodgeball with a grown man.
To smooth things over, Sandler allegedly promised he wouldn’t do it, but like any actor, he lied and did anyway.
You can check out the scene from the movie below.
