Jennifer Aniston made clear she couldn't bear to be around Adam Sandler after finding out what he gave his Grown Ups co-stars when they wrapped filming.
The two actors have been on the press trail together as they promote their new Netflix movie, Murder Mystery 2, following the original comedy which arrived in 2019.
One of their interviews took place with USA Today, where Sandler was asked by journalist Erin Jensen about a report that he bought each Grown Ups main cast members a very expensive leaving present.

Sandler stars in Grown Ups alongside Kevin James, David Space, Chris Rock and Rob Schneider, and rather than bidding them farewell with a hug, a card or a round of drinks, Sandler instead chose to hand out literal cars.
We're not talking budget vehicles either, but Maseratis and Teslas, according to Sandler.
He admitted that the report was true, telling Aniston that Schneider 'got a Tesla', with Vulture reporting that the gift set the Uncut Gems star back about $800,000 (£646,000).
Aniston has so far starred in three movies with Sandler, including the original Murder Mystery and the 2011 film Just Go With It, but her reaction in the interview makes it very clear that she was never given a leaving gift as good as the stars of Grown Ups.
"You gave your co-stars Maseratis?" she asked Sandler with dismay.
The actor did his best to keep his head above water as he tried to claim that he'd attempted to gift Aniston a Ferrari for each of their movies, but that he kept facing issues when they were being delivered.
Needless to say, Aniston didn't buy it.
The Friends star stood up out of her chair and walked off screen, telling Sandler to finish the interview without her.
Her sudden departure prompted Sandler to realise he'd messed up and beg for her to come back and join him, but when she did she insisted she didn't 'need fancy things'.
Sandler wasn't going to give up though, claiming he'd bought his co-star a white Mercedes for working with him.
The 50 First Dates star definitely has some making up to do, and given that he's already set a benchmark of a car, he'll have to come up with something pretty impressive.
Until then, fans will be able to watch Sandler and Aniston get up to some more antics in Murder Mystery 2, which arrived on Netflix today (31 March).
