Sandler’s Happy Gilmore 2 Honors Cameron Boyce

Adam Sandler's new Netflix film Happy Gilmore 2 pays tribute to his late Grown Ups co-star Cameron Boyce, who died in 2019 from an epileptic seizure at age 20. The tribute appears in a golf course check-in scene, where a TV shows Boyce in his Disney Channel role as Luke Ross from Jessie. Sandler, who portrayed Boyce's father in Grown Ups and Grown Ups 2, has previously honored him, including a dedication in the 2020 movie Hubie Halloween. Fans have praised the subtle tribute and Sandler’s continued efforts to honor Boyce's legacy. The inclusion highlights Boyce's lasting impact on audiences and Sandler himself. Additionally, Boyce’s family established the Cameron Boyce Foundation to promote epilepsy awareness and research funding.
