21 of the Strangest Celebrity Cameos in Music Videos
Danny DeVito has starred in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Matilda and Batman Returns, but FXX’s resident “Trash Man” has another claim to fame among twenty-something Zoomers: screaming “BALLS!” in One Direction’s 2014 music video for “Steal My Girl.” Appearing alongside sumo wrestlers, a chimpanzee and five certified teen heartthrobs, DeVito’s signature charm and comedic chops still managed to steal the show, all of which cemented him as a boy band icon — no flippy hair or choreography needed.
This pairing isn’t the only time a celebrity made an unexpected cameo in a music video either. Redditors have rattled off the strangest times star power collided in such a sonic manner, including Keanu Reeves’ date with Paula Abdul, Mads Mikkelsen being Rihanna’s bitch and Lil Jon coaching tennis with the help of Vampire Weekend.
