  • Happy Gilmore 2 premiered on Netflix on July 25, marking Adam Sandler’s return to the beloved golf comedy series.
  • Just after the opening credits, a background TV at a golf course check-in booth briefly shows Cameron Boyce in an episode of Disney’s Jessie.
  • Viewers quickly spotted the blink-and-miss tribute on social platforms, sharing images and heartfelt comments under #HappyGilmore2.
  • The Easter egg builds on Sandler’s previous tribute to Boyce in the end credits of 2020’s Hubie Halloween and their collaborations on the Grown Ups films.
  • Cameron Boyce died in 2019 at age 20 from an epilepsy-related seizure, and his family established the Cameron Boyce Foundation to fund research and awareness.
