This moment wasn't planned as a big tribute; instead, it came from a place of genuine feeling.

"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,'" Sandler explained in a recent interview. This choice meant a lot to Sandler. It was a heartfelt remembrance of their friendship and the bond they shared. Cameron, who sadly passed away in 2019 at the young age of 20, touched the lives of everyone who knew him, especially Sandler, with whom he worked in the movie Grown Ups.
