Counting down the most funny, shocking and unexpected celebrity cameos in recent movie history. Add your own by clicking the "Add To This Wiki" button!
| 1. | Brad Pitt in "Being John Malkovich" - Brad Pitt has a half-second-long cameo, as a miffed star in the documentary on Malkovich's career. He seems to be on the verge of saying something before the shot ends. |
| 2. | Bob Saget in "Half Baked"- appeared as a recovering cocaine addict: "Marijuana is not a drug. I used to suck d**k for coke.". Full House image shattered! |
| 3. | Al Pacino in "Gigli"- The only tolerable five minutes of the notoriously bad film. |
| 4. | Chuck Norris "Dodgeball"- Arguably the cameo that begat the Chuck Norris Phenomena, Norris was the cherry on top of this over-the-top ending, appearing as a dodgeball competition judge. |
| 5. | Kareem Abdul-Jabar in "Airplane!"- scores laughs as a pilot who is always mistaken for Kareem Abdl-Jabar. |
| 6. | Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back"- A truly iconic cameo, considering that the two actors have appeared in several of Smith's cult films, which helped them jumpstart their careers. They play themselves in the flick, and the plot features them filming "Good Will Hunting 2: Hunting Season" |
| 7. | Bruce Springsteen in "High Fidelity"- The Boss appears in record store owner Rob's (John Cusack) dream, playing guitar, and advising him to pursue his ex-girlfriends. |
| 8. | Elvis Costello in "Spice World"- plays a bartender, as the Spice Girls muse on their 15 minutes of fame. |
| 9. | Charlie Sheen in "Being John Malkovich" - Charlie Sheen appears twice in the film, as a lifelong friend of Malkovich's. |
| 10. | Tom Cruise in "Tropic Thunder" - Cruise was initially set to cameo as Stiller's character's agent, Rick Peck. Instead, Cruise suggested adding a studio head character, and the idea was incorporated into the script. Stiller and Cruise worked together to create the new character, Les Grossman, as a middle-aged businessman. The role required that Cruise don a fatsuit, large prosthetic hands, and a bald cap. It was Cruise's idea to give the character large hands and dance to "Low". A spin-off is in the works. |
| 11. | Elvis Costello in "200 Cigarettes"- At the end of this movie, the multitude of character's are paired off, and Janeane Garofalo's character ends up in bed with Elvis Costello. The scene features only Elvis's feet as he mutters something about "Alison" in his sleep, the title woman of his most famous song. |
| 12. | Will Ferrel in "Wedding Crashers"- Everyone in the theatre cheered when Chazz- the master who trained John and Jeremy in the art of wedding crashing- turns out to be Will Ferrel, a bathrobe-clad loser who lives with his mom. |
| 13. | Adam Brody in "Thank You For Smoking"- parodies Hollywood by appearing as a hip assistant, who brushes off Aaron Eckhert once he's fired. His sarcastic humor shines through in this intentionally transparent role. |
