Big-Deal Celebrities Lurking In Famous Movies

Cameos are so commonplace that they're pretty much expected. Long gone are the days when they were a novel thing. Celebrities pop up all over the place, making winky appearances that literally nobody can miss, and disappearing, probably back into their homes made of Oscars before slipping a perfect jackknife dive into a pool filled with the tears of their acting classmates.

But there are also some next-level cameos that are objectively amazing. It's a famous person showing up in their own biopic. We're looking at you, Hunter S. Thompson. It's the director turning up to make a meta-reference about their career. We're looking at you, Kubrick. Or a ridiculously famous celebrity trying to sneak in under the radar. We're looking at you, Edward Norton. The result is a brilliant cameo that can rightfully be called an Easter egg.
