Adam Sandler included a touching tribute to the late Cameron Boyce in the recently released Happy Gilmore 2. The young star, cherished by Sandler and audiences alike, appeared as someone watching TV in a background scene—a subtle way to keep his memory alive.
Cameron and Sandler had worked together on the Grown Ups movies, and Cameron’s sudden death in 2019 was deeply felt. Sandler had honored him openly before, and now this hidden tribute continues that heartfelt remembrance.

The show on the small screen in the movie was one of Cameron’s well-known roles on Jessie, adding a personal touch for fans aware of his career.
While the film is full of humor and callbacks, this quiet moment shows love and respect for a departed friend.
