Adam Sandler went viral on Wednesday for nothing more than wanting to eat at an IHOP with his daughter.
The actor, 54, and one of his daughters, both with just part of their faces visible due to wearing face masks, went to an IHOP [International House Of Pancakes] to dine but were told they faced a 30-minute wait so decided to leave.
The server, Dayanna Rodas, went viral when she posted a video on TikTok, which included security cam footage of Sandler and his daughter, as she revealed she didn’t recognise the actor, after which she branded herself a clown.

She wrote on top: ‘Not realizing it’s Adam Sandler and telling him it’s a 30 minute wait and him ofc leaving because he’s not going to wait 30 minutes for IHOP.’
