A fantastic cameo is one of our favorite things. It's like seeing an Easter egg get up and decide to walk, maybe with a wink or a nod, when you spot a friendly face slipping throughout the screen.
Almost all believe Hollywood stars are vain; however, their vanity can become a problem at times. Hollywood actors have had an almost intolerable urge to feel special as well as respected since the first film was presented to an audience.
Some well-known people achieve this by simply working more hours. The remainder, on the other hand, agree to make a cameo in a film to give it that extra star potential.
Including a well-known celebrity in a film or television show sounds like a terrific idea... However, it doesn’t always work out that way. The majority of the time, this works great. Then there are the cameo appearances in this category. Here are a few of the most terrible moments in history. Scroll on for some wild examples…
