Jennifer Aniston has teamed up with Adam Sandler's wife to get actor on health kick

Jennifer Aniston has teamed up with Adam Sandler's wife Jackie to help get him onto a healthier lifestyle.

Many of us go into a health kick with every good intention in the world - we're going to cut down on the sweets and the booze, eat more vegetables, and admit that walking to and from the pub doesn't count as exercise... unless you live at the bottom of a really steep hill.

Sometimes, however, our loved ones can be there to help us along, whether it's keeping us motivated, or even going along for the ride with us.

And it seems that Adam Sandler's wife of 22 years has enlisted the help of a Hollywood A-lister to help get him onto a healthier diet.

Sandler had been chatting to Drew Barrymore on her talk show The Drew Barrymore Show, and opened up about Jackie's attempts to get him on a health kick.

The star was speaking about the restaurant Pastrami Queen, which is a 'favourite restaurant' of him and his wife.

Barrymore said that she had sent Sandler some pastrami, to which he said: "We ate that quickly."

In an acknowledgement of his love for pastrami, he sheepishly added: “I ate that quickly.

“Jackie had two words when she saw me eating that fast: visceral effect.”

Barrymore mentioned she'd heard about Jackie's quest to get him on a healthier diet, asking about Friends star Jennifer Aniston's involvement in their plot.

“I heard that Jennifer Aniston is a part of Jackie, Sunny and Sadie’s crusade for you to eat healthy?” she asked.

"What the hell is this? I’ve seen your pantry, it’s pretty healthy.”

Sandler joked that now 'every milk has some sort of nut involved', adding that he's also changed over to a healthier breakfast cereal, before asking his wife, who was standing offstage, if she could remember the name of it.

The pair met on the set of the movie Big Daddy back in 1999, when Jackie was playing a waitress.

But Jackie and Jennifer are not the only people who are looking out for Sandler's health - his daughters Sunny and Sadie are also looking out for him.

Speaking to PEOPLE previously, Sandler said: "They always look out for me and my health just like I used to with my dad.

"You go, 'Man, I want this guy around,' so I used to scream at my dad to quit smoking, and my kids scream at me to just calm down and try to eat a little more like a normal person."
