In the comedy, Sandler plays Zohan, an Israeli commando who fakes his own death so he can move to New York and become a hair stylist.

The actor said of his colourful character: "He has too many tools. He's strong, he can disco very well. His hips are very forward, you know what I meant. Actually I think he's on fire.

"He likes to go where he likes. He's a pleaser. He is very nice, cutting the hair and fixing eyebrows and all that stuff, whatever you need at the end of a love-making session."

You Don't Mess with the Zohan is released in the UK on August 15.
