Actress Sofia Carson fondly remembers her late colleague Cameron Boyce, six years after his untimely death. The bond they shared on and off-screen during their time working together on the popular “Descendants” franchise remains vivid in Carson’s heart, as she recently shared in an emotional tribute.
Carson, who is gearing up for the release of her new Netflix film, “My Oxford Year,” took a moment to look back on her journey to stardom alongside Boyce and their shared experiences. In a heartfelt interview with Vanity Fair, Carson described Boyce as “one of the most extraordinary people” she had ever met, highlighting the deep connection they had formed during their time together.
The duo’s friendship blossomed on the set of the Disney Channel Original Movie where they starred as descendants of infamous Disney villains. Carson, who was relatively new to the entertainment industry at the time, credited Boyce and his family for guiding her through the unfamiliar territory of Hollywood, providing unwavering support and companionship.

She opened up about how Boyce not only became a close friend but also a mentor and a brother figure to her and her sister, creating a sense of family and belonging in an otherwise unfamiliar environment.
The sudden and tragic loss of Boyce in 2019 due to a seizure left a profound impact on Carson and their shared community. In the wake of his passing, the Cameron Boyce Foundation was established to raise awareness and funds for epilepsy research, a cause close to Boyce’s heart. The annual gala held by the foundation serves as a platform to honour Boyce’s memory and continue his legacy of giving back to the community.
Carson’s recent social media post commemorating Boyce’s memory on the anniversary of his passing painted a poignant picture of their enduring friendship, with a heartfelt caption that read, “Our Angel. Forever.” The actress continues to cherish the moments they shared and keep Boyce’s spirit alive through her work and public tributes.
As Carson prepares to embark on new projects and ventures, she carries with her the lessons learned from her time with Boyce and the profound impact he had on her life and career. Through her words and actions, Carson ensures that Boyce’s legacy lives on, inspiring others to embrace friendship, kindness and compassion in their own lives.
In a touching gesture, Boyce was recently honoured by his former co-star Adam Sandler in the film “Happy Gilmore 2,” a subtle yet meaningful tribute to the enduring impact Boyce had on those around him. The ripple effects of Boyce’s kindness and talent continue to resonate within the industry and among his friends and colleagues, reminding everyone of the profound impact one individual can have on the world.
As Carson reflects on the years gone by since Boyce’s passing, she remains committed to preserving his memory and upholding the values of friendship and camaraderie that he exemplified.
