Los Angeles, July 28 (UNI) Actor Adam Sandler has quietly honoured the memory of the late actor Cameron Boyce through a subtle tribute woven into the early frames of his new Netflix comedy sequel, “Happy Gilmore 2”.
Boyce, a gifted young actor cherished by Disney audiences, passed away in 2019 at the age of 20. He died in his sleep due to a seizure which was a result of an ongoing medical condition,” a family spokesperson shared at the time.
Known for his breakout roles in “Jessie”, “Descendants” and “Mrs. Fletcher”, he was also a beloved figure among a generation that grew up watching him evolve from Disney Channel darling to emerging star.
The two actors first worked together in 2010’s Grown Ups, in which Boyce played Keithie Feder, one of Sandler’s Lenny’s sons. They both reprised their roles in 2013’s “Grown Ups 2”.
Sandler previously paid tribute to the actor following his death, writing on social media at the time, “Too young. Too sweet. Too funny. Just the nicest, most talented, and most decent kid around. Loved that kid. Cared so much about his family. Cared so much about the world. Thank you, Cameron, for all you gave to us. So much more was on the way. All our hearts are broken. Thinking of your amazing family and sending our deepest condolences.”
He also included a tribute in the credits of his 2020 film “Hubie Halloween” for Boyce, as the actor was supposed to appear in the movie before he died.
