It wasn’t that long ago that Shaquille O’Neal was still playing in the NBA. The Hall of Fame big man retired following the 2010-11 season.
Maybe that’s why actor Adam Sandler, 55, was so shocked to find out that O’Neal is actually 50 years old during a recent episode of The Big Podcast with Shaq.
Sandler and Shaq have been friends for some time, with the four-time NBA champion actually appearing in four of the Hollywood star’s movies. They’ve even played a little pickup hoops together.
During the conversation on O’Neal’s podcast, Sandler remarked that he is “so much older than Shaq. I’m 55.” When Shaq corrected him and said there’s only a half-decade difference between them, Sandler was stunned.
“You’re not 50!” he said, via Essentially Sports.
In fairness to Sandler though, O’Neal is still pretty young at heart. He clearly has a lot of fun in his role on Inside the NBA and is involved in a number of other projects outside of his job on TNT.
O’Neal turned 50 back in March. A 15-time NBA All-Star, he entered the league at age 20 back in 1993 and played until he was 39.
