George Clooney banned the use of Adam Sandler's nickname on the set of their movie Jay Kelly.
The former E.R. star plays the title role of an ageing actor in the new drama with Sandler as Kelly's manager Ron - and Clooney has revealed he urged the rest of the cast and crew not to call his co-star the 'Sandman' while they were shooting because he wanted Sandler to be taken seriously for his "incredible talent".
