Funnyman Adam Sandler may be a Hollywood star but he still feels like a "loser".

The Big Daddy actor admits that although he does relish his success in the movie industry, he is still wracked with insecurity.

And he reveals his biggest hangup is his appearance.

He tells MTV.com, "I know I've had some success, and I have some cash in the bank and stuff. But it's not like I don't still walk down the street feeling like a loser. If I'm with my wife in the car, and I see some guy jogging by, I'm like, 'Now, why does that guy look like that? And I look like this?' I still have that going on." »

Big Daddy star Adam Sandler has been inspired to go back to his roots as a stand-up comic after signing up to star in a new movie about comedians.

The actor plays a comedian in the currently untitled Judd Apatow-directed movie, which is due for release next year.

And Sandler - who started out on the comedy club circuit - insists he needs to get back to performing in front of live audiences before shooting stars later this year.

He tells MTV.com, "Man, I gotta write an act again. It's been a long time. I haven't done stand-up in, like, 10 years. Even more. So yeah, I gotta get to work this summer and start doing that again.

"That's why I want to kill Judd Apatow right now. I was so much happier doing nothing.

"Stuff like that (stand-up shows) will happen. You will see me bomb for about 15 minutes straight, then walk off and punch Judd." »
