Happy Gilmore 2 has been praised by fans for its touching homage to Cameron Boyce.

Six years have passed since the death of Adam Sandler’s on-screen son from the comedy Grown Ups.

The actress from California passed away from epileptic problems at the age of 20.

As Sandler’s most recent film, Happy Gilmore 2, is now available on Netflix, astute viewers have noticed a heartfelt homage to the late actor in one of the scenes.

Sandler is approaching a check-in counter with golf clubs, and it appears that the person behind the desk is watching television.

Upon closer inspection, Boyce can be seen on the screen with a pair of binoculars in his hand and a blue shirt on.

Since then, fans have identified the source of the particular film, asserting that it is video of Boyce in the role of Luke Ross on Disney’s Jessie.

Boyce’s character was using the binoculars to spy on his neighbours in the episode after breaking his leg.

Reacting to the scene, fans say they have been left in tears with one writing, “Adam put a tiny Cameron Boyce (played his son in Grown Ups) tribute in Happy Gilmore 2. Excuse me while I sob.”

Another wrote, “Adam Sandler subtly including Cameron Boyce in this scene from #HappyGilmore2 hits different.”

“Watching the new Happy Gilmore and the TV is playing Jessie in the background,” remarked another. “RIP Cameron Boyce.”

A fourth chimed, “Happy Gilmore 2 was great. The honoring of Cameron Boyce was such a cute and awesome Easter egg. Bottom right of the screen they’re watching them on TV. Adam Sandler you killed it. Family is very happy.”

Sandler has previously paid respect to the actor, as evidenced by his 2020 film Hubie Halloween, which was slated to include Boyce before to his passing. The tribute said, “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.”

On July 6, 2019, the Disney actor passed away in his sleep as a result of a seizure brought on by a chronic medical condition.

In a statement released at the time, his family said, “The world is now undoubtedly without one of its brightest lights, but his spirit will live on through the kindness and compassion of all who knew and loved him.”

After that, the family established the Cameron Boyce Foundation in his honour with the goal of curing epilepsy.
