Everyone gets excited when a big star randomly shows up in a movie for an appearance. Sometimes they’re only there for a few lines, infrequently they get a little more. Sometimes they play themselves, or versions of themselves, and infrequently they play a real character. character of life. The moment is fleeting and wonderful, no matter how long you’re on screen and no matter what character you’re playing. Here’s a list of some of the most surprising examples of celebrity cameos. Warning, this story contains spoilers.
Happy Gilmore may be one of Adam Sandler’s most successful films, but it was almost stolen in its entirety during a brief appearance by former star Bob Barker, former host of The Price Is Right. For the deficient Happy, the value is wrong.

Bill Murray’s cameo towards the end of Zombieland is perfect. Not only does he play a zombie edition of himself, but the audience is treated to a quick snippet of the Ghostbusters theme song. Is incredible.
At most, the entire cast of This Is The End looks like stars making cameo appearances. All the actors play ridiculous versions of themselves and there are a lot of stars. However, opting for one is easy. Channing Tatum as a prisoner at the end is just fantastic. He only has one line and for most of the scene he wears a wrestling mask. You’ve got to love any star willing to do what Tatum did here.
The audience’s first cameo in the level game Thor: Ragnarok is, of course, Matt Damon as Loki. It’s not so obvious who plays Thor and many were because he looked so much like Chris Hemsworth. Well, that’s because it was his brother, Westworld star Luke Hemsworth.
David Bowie is no stranger to cinema. The music legend landed acting jobs early in his career and played leading roles in Twin Peaks, Lathroughrinth, and The Last Temptation of Christ, among others. His appearance in Zoolander is by far the funniest.
Robert Altman’s The Player consists of 65 incredible cameos, so how do you decide on just one?It’s really quite simple. There’s a joke circulating about the film as the writers and producers pitch their plans to studio leader Griffin Mill (Tim Robbins) saying they all want Julia Roberts and Bruce Willis to star in the film. In the final scene, who appears in the movie in a movie?That’s true for Willis and Roberts themselves.
Johnny Depp based his mythical character Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean films, at least in part, on the legend of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards. It makes perfect sense that Richards himself would appear as Captain Teague in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Strange Tide, whose audience would be informed is Sparrow’s father, because of course he is.
In a true “blink and miss” appearance, Jimmy Buffett is seen protecting his margarita during a dinosaur attack in Jurassic World.
McNeely’s Journey! Jerry O’Connell’s role in I Can’t Wait is really more of a myth and legend than a character. Former freshman Trip McNeely is spoken of with wonderful respect in the film, so when he comes across as some sort of pathetic freshman, he’s even more wonderful.
This might be the most unexpected and fun one on the list. Matt Damon appears as the lead singer of a force punk band doing a song What Scotty (Scott Mechlowicz) Doesn’t Know is now a vintage movie moment. Scotty.
When audiences first meet Brad Pitt’s character in Ocean’s Eleven, he teaches Hollywood stars how to play cards and his main consumer is none other than That ’70s Show star Topher Grace (who plays himself). Unfortunately, it turns out that Grace is struggling to learn, but it’s a lot of fun.
Keanu Reeves is one of Hollywood’s most beloved stars and that’s because of moments like when he randomly appears in the Netflix romantic comedy Always Be My Maybe as Sasha’s (Ali Wong) new boyfriend. It’s just one scene, but there’s an explanation for why it’s the most talked-about scene in the movie.
Johnny Depp obviously appreciates the position in which he made his debut, which is, of course, in the Fox series 21 Jump Street. With this in mind, Depp reprised the role of Officer Tom Hanson alongside his former co-star in the series. Peter DeLuise, in the 2012 film based on the series starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill.
Perhaps by far the quickest appearance on this list is Brad Pitt’s one-second appearance in Deadpool 2. That’s the definition of a “blink and miss” moment when Pitt’s character, who says nothing and is truly invisible for most of the film. . , passes through electrical wires, revealing the actor in brilliant photographs that made the audience gasp with excitement.
A normal character in the X-Men films, his character is rarely a major component of the original X-Men: First Class film, but the filmmakers still figured out a brilliant way to integrate Wolverine. As Dr. X and Magneto recruit mutants for the X-Men, they locate Wolverine in a bar, but his terse reaction when asked to sign up for them makes it clear that he’s not interested. At least not yet.
Only the Star Wars franchise can allow a star as wonderful as Daniel Craig to make a brief appearance in which his face is never seen. It was evidently a lot of fun for the James Bond star to appear in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. , although Craig hated the stormtrooper dress he had to wear for the stage.
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is one of John Candy’s most productive films, but before you meet his character, there’s a quick scene that strangely includes Kevin Bacon. As Steve Martin takes a cab on a busy New York City street, he sees Bacon’s unnamed character across the street and takes him to the taxi.
There is no one in Hollywood with more cameos than the wonderful Stan Lee. Before his death in 2018, the comic book appeared in more than 40 films and television shows based on the Marvel comics in which he had a major hand in creating. But it was his appearance in Mallrats that preceded them all, betting himself. Lee also appears in The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement as a wedding guest.
It takes courage to bring Will Ferrell along, because he could borrow the show. In Wedding Crashers, you can simply say that this is the case. There is no more memorable appearance than Farrell’s character in the film yelling “Mom!Where’s the meatloaf?
It makes sense that a movie about intelligent music would feature one of the most important musicians of all time. This is the case with High Fidelity when Bruce Springsteen appears in one of Rob Gordon’s (John Cusack) dreams about his five exes and gives sensible advice.
Hot Shots: Part Deux is, through design, a silly, surreal comedy. One of the most surreal moments is when Charlie Sheen’s character navigates a Southeast Asian river, satirizing Apocalypse Now, which of course starred his father, Martin Sheen. Suddenly, the voiceover switches from Charlie to Martin and he looks up from their respective ships and yells at the other, “I enjoyed you on Wall Street,” which they starred in together. Very meta.
In a scene from Anchorman, there is a rumor between competing news teams at the San Diego networks. Every presenter is a star. Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson and Tim Robbins appear with their respective teams, but it is when Ben Stiller appears on the Spanish network that things become ridiculous and hilarious.
Stephen King, like Stan Lee, occasionally appears in his short stories and books adapted for the screen. Until the early ’80s with videos like Creepshow and Pet Sematary, King had appearances (and bigger roles) in several of his stories. He even made one, Maximum Overdrive, based on his short story “Trucks”, although it is not remembered fondly, although it deserves to be. In recent years, he has made a very good appearance in It Chapter 2.
It’s no surprise that Madonna was selected to record a James Bond theme, as she was for Die Another Day, her Bond theme wasn’t very popular with the most fans. In a rarer case, the singer also appeared in the film. Madonna plays a fencing coach who works with Pierce Brosnan’s British Super Spy Edition. Let’s face it, he actually acted better in the movie than he did making a song.
If there’s a better role for end-of-age Michael Jackson, an alien who can’t appear at the MIB fits the bill. The King of Pop only has about a minute of screen time, and he almost feels like an AI, even though that generation only existed in the Terminator universe at the time. It’s an odd cameo, but it’s quite a bit better.
This is one of the strangest entries on this list. In the Iron Man 2 scene, in the early days of the wonderful MCU, none other than electric car-driving rocket guy and X boss Elon Musk shows up for a brief appearance. As expected, the tech entrepreneur needs to meet with Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr. ) to talk about some of his ideas.
If we look back to September 1994, Quentin Tarantino is still not the legend he has since become. A few weeks before Pulp Fiction set world cinema on fire, Tarantino made an impression in a small art film called Sleep With Me. Despite the very intelligent cast that included Meg Tilly, Eric Stolz and Parker Posey, among others, the film does not leave fond memories. Except for one scene. Tarantino delivers, in true Tarantino style, a fantastic spiel on the history of Top Gun and what it meant. He is a natural genius and although he is not identified as a writer, it is precisely what we expect from him.
Here’s a clever trivia: How many times did Dan Aykroyd play Ray Stance, his Ghostbusters character, on the big screen?Although there are already 3 Ghostbusters movies released, the answer is four. Aykroyd appears haphazardly in the all-forgotten 1995 film Casper, while the two main characters are desperate to rid their space of ghosts.
David Letterman is one of America’s most prominent television stars, but, interestingly, he was never an actor. In fact, according to IMDB, he’s only credited with a role in a film he didn’t star in himself or in archival footage. This movie is the absurd and downright weird movie Cabin Boy. This makes sense because it stars Chris Elliott, a regular character from Late Night With David Letterman, and is directed through series editor Adam Resnick. It’s not. . . It’s not a wonderful movie, but it’s worth watching the brief scene in Letterman where he tries to sell a monkey to Elliott’s character.
A clever look can make otherwise mediocre videos laughable and turn smart videos into wonderful ones if they’re perfectly placed, like all the wonderful ones on this list.
Hugh Scott doesn’t know that there are extraterrestrial beings hiding in Area 51 or that Elvis is alive, but he does believe that the birds are real and that Meghan Markle rarely gets special treatment in the tabloids. He wrote about music, videos, and celebrities for most of his adult life after learning that stocking the shelves of a paper warehouse at school wasn’t as good as it seemed.
