In an interview with David Letterman, host of The Late Show with David Letterman, Sandler revealed that his close encounter with a cheetah on a private game reserve went wrong.

Shared by Sandler, in the video, a cheetah pounces on Sandler while a trainer was able to quickly pull the cat off of his back.

“I was very nervous,” he said. “The only reason I didn’t react . . . [was that] I had a stiff neck at the time. So when he jumped on me, I was like, ‘Oh my neck.'”
