Key Takeaways

There’s something special about seeing icons step back and let the next generation shine — and that’s exactly what went down at the premiere of Roommates. Adam Sandler, Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy pulled up not just as comedy legends, but as proud dads, creating a full-circle moment that felt bigger than just another Hollywood red carpet.
Held at the Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles, the event quickly turned into a family affair. Adam showed up in support of his daughter, Sadie Sandler, who leads the film, while Eddie’s daughter Bella Murphy also appears in a featured role. Chris joined the celebration with his daughter Zahra Rock by his side.
The trio even posed together, reminding everyone that this isn’t just a new era — it’s one built on decades of friendship. Chris and Adam go way back to their “Saturday Night Live” days in the 1990s, and their chemistry has carried through projects like The Longest Yard, Grown Ups, Grown Ups 2, and The Week Of. That history made this moment feel even more personal.
What to know about ‘Roommates’
While the dads have long cemented their legacies, the spotlight is clearly shifting. Sadie leads Roommates as Devon, a college freshman trying to find her footing while navigating a complicated relationship with her roommate. Bella’s role adds another layer to the film’s young cast, which also includes Storm Reid, Chloe East, and Nick Kroll — with Adam also appearing in the film, making it a true family moment on and off screen. The coming-of-age comedy is produced by Adam’s company Happy Madison and set to premiere on Netflix on Friday (April 17).
Beyond the red carpet, the moment also ties into a broader pattern. Eddie’s family has already been part of headlines through his son Eric’s relationship with Martin Lawrence’s daughter, Jasmin, which REVOLT previously covered when the couple announced their engagement back in 2024. These connections continue to highlight how intertwined — and evolving — these comedy legacies really are.
