Cameron Boyce's mom thanks Adam Sandler for honoring son in ‘Happy Gilmore 2'
Cameron Boyce may be gone, but he will never be forgotten. The late actor was just 20 years old when he died in 2019 after experiencing an unexpected epileptic seizure in his sleep, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner. At the time, Boyce was expected to appear in Adam Sandler's 2020 film 'Hubie Halloween.' Sandler included a tribute for Boyce following a blooper sequence at the end of the film. 'In loving memory of Cameron Boyce. Gone way too soon and one of the kindest, coolest, funniest, and most talented kids we knew,' the 2020 tribute read, according to Deadline. 'You live on forever in our hearts and are truly missed every day,' the tribute concluded. Now five years later, Sandler is still finding ways to honor Boyce with his newest film, 'Happy Gilmore 2,' which was released July 25, per IMDB. At one point in the film, Sandler is walking up to a check-in booth with a golf bag on his shoulder. The people working the booth were watching a show on TV. The show was Disney Channel's 'Jessie,' according to People, and the the TV was playing a scene that included Boyce — who played Luke Ross in the series from 2011 to 2015. On July 28, Boyce's mom, Libby, took to Instagram to personally thank Sandler for including her son in the movie. 'Thank you (Adam Sandler) for honoring Cam's legacy in Happy Gilmore 2,' she wrote in the caption alongside a photo of the scene. She also included a photo of a younger Boyce with Sandler and a video of Sandler talking about her son during an appearance at the 2024 Cameron Boyce Foundation's 3rd Annual Cam For A Cause Gala. 'He was one of the nicest kids I've ever met, funniest kids I ever met,' he said in the interview. 'I just love talking about him and thinking of him and his parents. Proud to be here.' In a separate Instagram post, Boyce's mom shared a screenshot of a Hollywood Reporter article about her son's surprise cameo in 'Happy Gilmore 2.' In the caption, she opened up about the bond her son had with Sandler. 'Adam and Cameron talked quite a bit in the days leading up to his death,' Boyce's mom wrote. 'Cameron was supposed to be in Hubies 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 Cams memory alive which warms our heart,' she added. Sandler and Boyce first worked together in 2010 on the set of Sandler's 'Grown Ups' film, where Boyce played Sandler's on-screen son, per IMDB. Both Boyce and Sandler reprised those roles in the 2013 sequel 'Grown Ups 2.' After Boyce died, Sandler took to X (formerly Twitter) in memory of his former co-star. 'Too young. Too sweet. Too funny. Just the nicest, most talented, and most decent kid around,' the actor wrote at the time. '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,' he added.
