Adam Sandler quietly paid tribute to his late co-star Cameron Boyce in the recently released Happy Gilmore 2, a small but touching moment that fans quickly noticed. Cameron, who had played Sandler’s onscreen son in Grown Ups and Grown Ups 2, passed away in 2019 at age 20 due to an epileptic seizure.
In Happy Gilmore 2, during a scene at a golf booth, the camera briefly shows two workers watching a small TV. If you look closely, you’ll see Cameron Boyce’s smiling face on the screen, from his role on the Disney series Jessie. This subtle nod to Cameron touched many fans, who shared heartfelt reactions online.
