Cameron Boyce remembered by Descendants co-stars

Cameron Boyce remembered by Descendants co-stars

Perth Now9 hours ago
Cameron Boyce's Descendants co-stars have paid tribute to the late star on the sixth anniversary of his death.
The Disney actor passed away at the age of just 20 when he suffered a seizure in his sleep due to epilepsy and on Sunday (06.07.25), he was remembered as an "angel" by his friends.
Sofia Carson shared a behind-the-scenes cast photo and wrote on Instagram: "Our Angel. Forever."
Booboo Stewart shared the same photo on his own Instagram Story, while Sarah Jeffrey shared a photo of herself with Cameron 'on a BC ferry to Victoria to shoot more of Descendants."
She added: "Life is good. Miss you Cam.'
Meanwhile, Jenna Ortega recently reflected on the last time she saw Cameron, explaining how she felt "uncomfortable" when they were put in a "weird" position and asked to kiss during an audition, but her friend spoke up for her.
Speaking to French TV outlet Canal+, she said: "The last time I saw my friend Cameron Boyce — I'd known him since I was like 11 or 12, and we were supposed to kiss [in an audition] and he knew me, since I was 11 or 12. This is a few years later, 15, 16, came in, we were supposed to be love interests.
"But because he obviously felt weird and he was a bit older, he was like — we both just kinda looked at each other and we were like, 'No, we can't do this.'
"And it was so sweet because I was uncomfortable and I was having a hard time. .. And then, we wished each other well."
Jenna was "really thankful and grateful" to Cameron for speaking up, and agreed with her Beetlejuice Beetlejuice co-star Catherine O'Hara when she said he had been a "gentleman".
Following his tragic death, the actor's family set up the Cameron Boyce Foundation to provide "young people artistic and creative outlets as alternatives to violence and negativity".
At the time of his passing, Cameron's "utterly heartbroken" family remembered him as one of the world's "brightest lights".
They said in a statement at the time: "It is with a profoundly heavy heart that we report that this morning we lost Cameron.
'He passed away in his sleep due to a seizure which was a result of an ongoing medical condition for which he was being treated. 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.
'We are utterly heartbroken and ask for privacy during this immensely difficult time as we grieve the loss of our precious son and brother."

Chef spills secrets on dessert you've never tried before

Perth chef Mathieu Wyatt is sharing his tips and tricks for creating a famous French dessert with a twist. Wyatt, of Intuition Wine and Kitchen in Subiaco, has revealed how he makes mulled wine crème brûlée so you can try it at home. The French chef opened his eatery in November last year and has surprised and impressed punters who have dared to try the unconventional dish. 'At the beginning people were a little confused – some people thought it was amazing, some people said they'd prefer vanilla,' he said. Wyatt said he came up with the recipe one morning and spent days experimenting and refining it, determined to execute the decadent sweet. 'I did a few tries, the first try was not set enough, there was too much liquid, probably because you are removing half the cream to use half the red wine. 'I reduced it to get it thicker and concentrate the flavour of the wine and get the alcohol to evaporate. 'After a few tries, I kept the same recipe as a traditional crème brûlée but I added more egg yolk.' His top tip for the dessert was to choose your red wine carefully. 'Don't use a top shelf wine, it is not necessary, it would be a waste.' Because of the reduction process, much of the alcohol evaporates but the flavour is left behind. Chef Mathieu Wyatt. Credit: Michael Wilson / The West Australian 'We need a dry wine that is full body but not too much tannin,' he explained. 'Because if there is too much tannin, your mulled wine won't be as smooth.' 'For me, shiraz or grenache is best.' Wyatt also said that different regions have different spins on mulled wine, but, he would be sticking to the core ingredients for his recipe. 'If go to different regions they have their own twist. The french version is less sweet, the french twist would be to add cognac. Chef Mathieu Wyatt will guide Perth's home cooks to recreate his unique recipe. Credit: Michael Wilson / The West Australian 'I keep it very classic, I use star anise, cinnamon, vanilla, lemon zest, orange zest and ginger and sugar, it's very Christmassy.' Wyatt's recipe is the perfect winter warmer and could serve as two treats in one. To find other recipes, visit PerthNow Cooks on YouTube.

Jessie J reveals her cancer hasn't spread

Jessie J's cancer has not spread following her recent mastectomy. The 37-year-old pop star has taken to social media to share a positive health update amid her ongoing cancer battle. In a video posted on Instagram, Sky - Jessie's two-year-old son - says: "Mummy is going to be OK." Jessie captioned the video: "And…I AM OK "Results = I have NO cancer spread [tears emojis] "Happy tears are real [tears emojis] "Thank YOU for the prayers, the love, the well wishes, the joy and all the positive energy. [crying emoji] (sic)" Jessie then provided some context to her son's video message. She explained: "This video is from the night before my surgery . We called it baby boy. You are my biggest ray of light and with you in my life the darkness will never win. [clouds and sunshine emojis] "Lots of healing to go and one more surgery to make these cousins look more like sisters. But for now it's gratitude time and I am changing my name to The LopJess monster (sic)" Jessie first shared news of her cancer diagnosis via an Instagram post on June 3. The chart-topping pop star admitted at the time that she'd been "going back and forth" over whether to share the news with the public. She said in a video message: "I want to share it with my fans and the people that care about me, and also I'm a sharer. I've always shared everything that I go through in my life. Before No Secrets came out, I was diagnosed with early breast cancer. "I'm highlighting the word early. Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word early. I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period." Jessie confessed at the time that she was still trying to process the news herself. However, she ultimately felt it was important that she shared the news with her fans. The Price Tag hitmaker said: "I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories."

Perth kid's unbelievable collection of celebrity encounters

Some kids collect sports cards and others video games, but eight-year-old Noah Gianotti from Yokine has committed his young life to the pursuit of meeting his celebrity heroes and snapping photos with them. And he's been very successful. With Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, WWE superstar The Undertaker, and English soccer player Harry Kane just some of his famous encounters, Noah's parents manage the youngster's Instagram account @noahgmeets where his enviable collection is on full display. Growing up around rap and hip hop music, the youngster cares less about seeing his icon's live in their respective arenas, and more about engaging in a personal interaction with them. 'I just like having the memories of waiting for them and just seeing if they'll come and say hi, and sign an autograph,' he told PerthNow. Noah Gianotti and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker.

The diminutive fan even recited some of his favourite verses in his company, claiming the Brit is his most cherished encounter yet. 'I actually started crying after, because I'm a big fan of him,' he said. Noah's father said his son's adoration towards music stars progressed from simply playing their songs at home a couple of years ago, to a desire to meet them face-to-face.

A viral clip of their meeting shared by his mother to TikTok since garnered five million views, with an affirming response of 'Yea buddy' from the singer warming the youngster's heart and drawing the envy of fans around the world. Noah said he feels 'lucky' to be able to share his exploits online, though his hobby requires much more than simply good fortune. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your .

Describing his son as 'very confident', Mr Gianotti said Noah's patience and determination drove him to secure a meet and greet with elusive rapper Drake in February after waiting a staggering 15 hours the day prior. 'We went to stand outside the front of Nobu at lunch time, and because Noah had spoken to some of Drake's crew, when Drake went in I'm pretty sure they said on the way out to please talk to the kid who spoke to us yesterday,' he explained. Sure enough, the Canadian rapper extended just a minute to the youngster in a memory that will last a lifetime. Unfortunately, however, Noah's efforts do occasionally go unrewarded.

Noah said his mates at school are sometimes oblivious to his celebrity targets, and other times, they ask to tag along. With his father running regular sports functions through his company J&N Sports Entertainment, the youngster's familiarity with fame began by rubbing shoulders with local footy players. He's now progressed to jumping on the mic with his favourite athletes watching on. Meeting the likes of Harley Reid, Caleb Serong, and Luke Jackson, the mad Dockers fan attends most Freo games and has settled on his favourite player. Noah Gianotti and Eagles star Harley Reid.

Then I found out his name was Michael Frederick and I've just loved him ever since,' he said. Branching out to meet international sports stars, Noah has added Indian cricketer KL Rahul, French soccer player Olivier Giroud, and WWE superstar Logan Paul to his hit list.
