Adam Sandler says Cameron Boyce 'felt like a family member to us'. The 20-year-old actor - who played Adam's son in 2010's Grown Ups and 2013's sequel Grown Ups 2 - passed away in 2019 following a seizure and after including a scene in Happy Gilmore 2 where Cameron can be seen on TV, Adam explained 'we think of him all the time'. He told The Hollywood Reporter: 'Love that kid. He was one of the sweetest persons I've ever met - just constantly in a good mood, constantly great energy, loving to everybody. He felt like a family member to us when we were shooting Grown Ups. Of course, we were going to shoot with Cameron on Hubie Halloween, and we were getting ready to have a great time together, and we lost him. We think of him all the time. This was just a moment where we were like, 'What should we throw on the TV?' We said, 'Might as well throw Cameron in there. He's the man. Keep him part of our family.' And so that's why we did it.' 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. Cameron's mom, Libby Boyce, 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. 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."
