"I regret it to this day," Mazar said. "I apologized to Adam Sandler. I said, 'Oh, my God, I was so young. My agent told me the wrong information.' I ended up firing my agent after that, obviously. And so, I'm happy for you (Christine). To this day, I have such regret because I so wanted to do that movie, and I just was young and made a stupid decision."
