Putin and Assad join cast of Grown Ups 3 

President Putin and his friend Bashar Al-Assad have been added to the cast of Grown Ups 3, we can reveal.

The pair of Presidential pranksters will join Adam Sandler, Chris Rock and a host of Hollywood heavyweights for the third in the movie franchise.

Variety magazine editor Jiz Foxly told us, ‘This will be box office gold! Adam Sandler is a money making machine and now with Putin and Assad joining the role call, it’s sure going to do well in the lucrative Russian market.’

‘They will need to do something special to knock off the Russian classic slapstick film ‘Silly man Petrov’, starring silent movie star Petrov Valdemish, which has been top of the box office for 78 years.’

Assad told Stage newspaper he just had to take the role, he said, ‘I used to watch ‘King of Queens’ while we were flame throwing some of the rebel towns in Syria, so I just had to jump at the chance to work with Kevin James.’
