You know that feeling when you're watching a movie, and suddenly you spot a familiar face that makes you pause and go, "Wait… was that really them?" Well, Hollywood loves sneaking in these little surprises, and some of them are so well-hidden that even the most eagle-eyed viewers miss them.
So, if you're ready for some "I can't believe I never noticed that!" moments, here are some of the best celebrity cameos in movies that deserve a rewatch.
David Bowie in Zoolander
Let’s start with a legend. If you’ve seen Zoolander, you know it’s packed with over-the-top fashion-world satire, but did you ever realize that the judge of Derek and Hansel’s runway showdown is none other than David Bowie? The man, the myth, the music icon casually struts in, announces "Let’s dance," and judges the walk-off like it’s just another Tuesday. Absolute perfection.Cate Blanchett in Hot Fuzz
If you blink, you might miss this one! In Hot Fuzz, there’s a scene where Simon Pegg’s character has an emotional conversation with his ex-girlfriend, who’s wearing a crime scene mask. That girlfriend? None other than Cate Blanchett. Yep, an Oscar-winning actress hiding behind forensic gear in a blink-and-you-miss-it cameo. Talk about undercover.Matt Damon in Thor: Ragnarok
Marvel movies are always good for a surprise, and Thor: Ragnarok delivers a hilarious one. In Asgard, there’s a play reenacting Loki’s “tragic” story, and guess who’s playing Loki? Matt freakin’ Damon. He fully commits to the role, and it’s pure comedy gold.Daniel Craig in Star Wars: The Force Awakens
James Bond in a galaxy far, far away? Yup. Daniel Craig secretly played a stormtrooper in The Force Awakens. He’s the one guarding Rey when she tests her new Jedi mind tricks. When she commands him to let her go, his delivery of “And I’ll drop my weapon” is just dripping with 007 energy.Brad Pitt in Deadpool 2
One second he’s there, the next he’s gone—literally. Brad Pitt appears as The Vanisher in Deadpool 2, and his entire cameo lasts about half a second. You only see him when he gets electrocuted. Imagine being one of the biggest stars in the world and agreeing to a role where you’re invisible 99% of the time. Iconic behavior.Bill Murray in Zombieland
This one is a classic. Zombieland gives us one of the funniest celebrity cameos ever when Bill Murray appears as himself, casually surviving the apocalypse by dressing as a zombie. The whole scene is gold, but his regret about Garfield? Absolute comedy genius.Next time you’re rewatching any of these movies, keep an eye out—you might just catch a celeb hiding in plain sight.
