Netflix's 'Happy Gilmore 2' is making waves, not just for its laughs, but for a touching tribute to the late Cameron Boyce. The film, a sequel to the beloved 1996 comedy, features a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment dedicated to the Disney Channel star who tragically passed away in 2019.

Boyce, known for his role as Luke Ross in 'Jessie' and as Sandler's son in 'Grown Ups' and 'Grown Ups 2', is subtly included in a scene where Sandler's character, Happy Gilmore, approaches a check-in booth. In the background, a TV screen displays footage of Boyce from his 'Jessie' days.

Fans have lauded the inclusion as a heartfelt homage from Sandler, who shared a close bond with Boyce. Social media is buzzing with appreciation for the gesture, with many calling it a "lovely tribute" and a testament to Sandler's enduring affection for his former co-star.

Adam Sandler's History of Honouring Cameron Boyce

This isn't the first time Sandler has publicly remembered Boyce. In his 2020 Netflix film, 'Hubie Halloween', Sandler included a touching memorial in the credits: "In loving memory of CAMERON BOYCE. Gone way too soon and one of the kindest, coolest, funniest, and most talented kids we knew. You live on forever in our hearts and are truly missed every day."

A Lasting Legacy

Following Boyce's passing, Sandler expressed his grief and admiration for the young actor, describing him as "Too sweet. Too funny. Just the nicest, more talented, and most decent kid around."

'Happy Gilmore 2', beyond its comedic elements and star-studded cameos (including Alix Earle, Bad Bunny, Travis Kelce, and John Daly), serves as a reminder of the lasting impact Cameron Boyce had on those who knew him, both on and off screen. It's a touching tribute that resonates with fans and celebrates the life of a talented young actor gone too soon.
