Boyce played Keithie Feder, son of Sandler’s character Lenny Feder, in “Grown Ups” and “Grown Ups 2.” Both movies were directed by original “Happy Gilmore” director Dennis Dugan. Sandler and “ Happy Gilmore 2 ″ director Kyle Newacheck filmed the sequel in New Jersey last fall.

“Adam put a tiny Cameron Boyce (played his son in Grown Ups) tribute in Happy Gilmore 2. Excuse me while I sob,” one user wrote on X, while another one added, “It’s 10am and I’m crying seeing that Adam Sandler put a Cameron Boyce cameo in Happy Gilmore 2 .”

Adam Sandler paid tribute to his former on-screen son, the late Cameron Boyce, in his new movie “Happy Gilmore 2” six years after Boyce died. After the comedy sequel released on Netflix Friday, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Boyce, who starred as Sandler’s son in “Grown Ups,” appeared on a TV in the background of one scene.
