Cameron Boyce's mom thanks Adam Sandler for tribute
The Descendants actor - who played Adam's son in 2010's Grown Ups and 2013's sequel Grown Ups 2 - passed away in 2019 at the age of 20 following a seizure but the new golfing comedy features a scene where Cameron can be seen on TV.
The brief scene shows Adam's titular character Happy checking in at a golf course, where staff are watching a TV show featuring Cameron, which fans believe to be his Disney Channel show Jessie, in which he starred as Luke Ross from 2011 to 2015.
And Cameron's mom, Libby Boyce, has shared a still featuring the moment and wrote on Instagram: "Thank you @adamsandler for honoring Cam's legacy in Happy Gilmore 2 (sic)"
Libby also reflected on the bond Adam and Cameron had shared and thanked the Murder Mystery actor for his ongoing support for her late son.
She wrote in a separate post: "Adam and Cameron talked quite a bit in the days leading up to his death.
"Cameron was supposed to be in Hubie Halloween and they were strategizing. They had a bond I think related to being authentic, funny and just keeping it real. Adam always finds a way to keep Cam's memory alive which warms our heart."
While Cameron passed away before Hubie Halloween was filmed, Adam incorporated a tribute to the "talented" young star in the movie's credits.
A picture of the actor was shown along with the message: "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."
And shortly after the news of Cameron's death was announced, the 58-year-old actor shared a heartfelt tribute.
Adam wrote 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.'
On what would have been Cameron's 21st birthday in May 2020, Adam again honoured the star.
He wrote on Instagram: "Happy birthday to Cameron. Would have been 21 years old. Such a great kid. We all miss him a lot. Especially his incredible family."

Girlfriend of man who sleeps with men insists he's not gay
A British woman who says that her straight boyfriend sleeps with men on camera has insisted that he's not gay and it's 'just work.' Terri and Ryan, from Cheshire in the UK, feature on a YouTube episode of 'Love Don't Judge,' where they share the secret moneymaking formula they've found in the world of adult entertainment. The pair both make spicy content for money and combine their skills to earn between $4,000 to $12,000 a month. While ex-convict Ryan stars in the X-rated scenes, his girlfriend Terri acts as director and camerawoman filming her boyfriend as he gets physical with other men. Terri started making content herself in 2021 and explains that through working in the adult entertainment industry she discovered that the most lucrative area of the industry was to focus on the LGBTQIA+ audience. 'When he was in prison, I was making content with other people in the industry and when I was talking to the lads about it they were saying they don't make much money from working with women, they make money from working with men,' she said. The couple insist that the sole reason they pursue making content where Ryan is intimate with other men is because it makes the most money. 'I don't feel any certain way about it, it's just work to both of us,' Terri said. Terri also makes content which involves her getting intimate with other women which she says gives her an understanding of what Ryan's doing for work. Despite its ability to bring in the cash, the couple's unconventional setup has shocked their family and left some viewers baffled.

'It's hard work as content creators and influencers,' she said. 'Without us I don't know how this world will survive. 'How will people know where to eat if we don't do restaurant reviews?

Haha I love you girl, you're such a strong light. Thanks for standing up to ridiculous cancel culture and bullying / putting down others for no reason basically,' another voiced their opinion on the rant.

James Cameron intends to direct the fourth and fifth Avatar movies
James Cameron is "good to go" when it comes to directing Avatar 4 and Avatar 5. The 70-year-old filmmaker has helmed the third movie in the epic sci-fi franchise Avatar: Fire and Ash – which will be released in December – and plans to be behind the camera for the next two pictures, which are scheduled to hit cinemas in 2029 and 2031 respectively. Speaking to Empire magazine, James said: "I mean, there's no reason not to. "I'm healthy, I'm good to go. I'm not going to rule it out. I mean, I've got to make it in a vigorous way, to handle the kind of volume and energy of the work for another six or seven years. You know what I mean? I might not be able to do that... (but) if I can, I'll just do it." The Titanic director pointed out that he has passed on his planned movies to other filmmakers in the past – as he gave the 2019 flick Alita: Battle Angel to Robert Rodriguez but remained closely involved with the picture's production. Cameron said of Rodriguez: "He honoured what I had written. We worked very collaboratively." The acclaimed filmmaker previously revealed that he does not plan to helm the sixth and seventh Avatar films, even though he does have stories in mind for them. He told People magazine: "We're fully written through movie five, and I've got ideas for six and seven, although I'll probably be handing the baton on at that point. "Mortality catches up. But I mean, we're enjoying what we're doing. We're loving it. We get to work with great people." James revealed earlier this year that he feels "pretty good" about Avatar: Fire and Ash after being thrilled by the feedback when he screened the movie for "a few selected people". The Terminator director told Stuff: "I've shown it to a few selected people and the feedback has been ... it's definitely the most emotional and maybe the best of the three so far. "We'll find out, you know, but I feel pretty good about it." The new movie features a cast that includes Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana and Sigourney Weaver and Cameron was very impressed with the efforts of the stars. He said: "The work is exceptional from the actors. It's pretty heart-wrenching in a good way." The original Avatar film became the highest-grossing movie of all time when it was released back in 2009 and Cameron admitted that he was hesitant to make sequels as he didn't want to spoil what he had achieved. The director said: "I had to think long and hard whether I even wanted to make another Avatar film, because it was kind of ours to lose. "When you've done something that's been that transcendent in terms of success, do you really want to go try and do that again? There's a lot of pressure on it. I thought about it for a good two years before we finally made a deal."
