Adam Sandler has postponed his upcoming comedy shows, but he’s still keeping in touch with fans in Upstate New York while social distancing.

The former “Saturday Night Live” and “Happy Gilmore” star reached out to a special needs teen in Clifton Park, N.Y., to wish him a happy birthday from home.

“Alex, it’s Adam Sandler! Happy birthday you young, young handsome man!” the 53-year-old comedian told Alex Hengsterman, who turned 16 on Sunday, in a video.

“Enjoy your day... Enjoy all your Boston sports teams! They will be back soon!! Love ya brother!”

Sandler is a well-known sports fan, and his characters in movies have cheered on teams like the Boston Bruins and the Syracuse Orange.

WNYT reports Sandler responded after Alex’s older brother Jackson Hengsterman and their sister Lauren created an online campaign asking Sandler to send Alex a happy birthday message. The hashtag #Adam4Alex went viral on social media and caught the attention of Sandler, who’s been staying at home with his own family since the coronavirus pandemic began.

Jackson Hengsterman told News 10 that Sandler actually sent the video on Friday, but they didn’t show it until Alex’s Sweet 16 birthday.

“We had to keep it a secret until Sunday and we couldn’t talk about it around him, so seeing his reaction was like the best feeling!" Jackson said. "It was like a wave of euphoria!”

Sandler was scheduled to perform at the Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona on March 15 and the KeyBank Center in Buffalo on April 25, but both shows have been postponed due to COVID-19 concerns. Tickets will be honored on rescheduled dates, which have not been announced.

Sandler has continued to entertain fans who are staying at home, appearing via video chat on “The Tonight Show” with Jimmy Fallon to perform new quarantine-inspired songs like “Don’t Touch Grandma.”
