The 9 Worst Celebrity Cameos in Movies

"Cameo" is a phrase that refers to guests appearing in movie projects, TV series, etc. The appearance time of the cameo is usually relatively short—only a few tens of seconds to a few minutes.
Cameo roles in movie projects are usually famous actors, singers, idols, MCs, etc., who have a strong foothold in the hearts of fans. There is nothing more interesting and surprising than when the idol we are familiar with appears in special moments of a movie, even for a few minutes, making fans "heartbroken".
Besides the famous cameo scenes like Mark Hamill's cameo in Star Wars: The Force Awakens" (2015), Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder (2008), or the classic cameo of the late great artist Stan Lee in his films. Marvel's stars sometimes play cameos in such a clumsy way that it makes viewers feel embarrassed. Celebrity cameos are not only unimpressive, they're also downright distracting and superfluous, making the movie lose points in the eyes of the viewer.
In this post, we’ve pointed out the 9 worst celebrity cameos in movies. Scroll down to check them out, and share with us your opinions.

#1 Bill Murray - Ghostbusters: Answer The Call (2016)

After Ghostbusters II, filmmakers tried for years to develop a third Ghostbusters movie, but Bill Murray's lack of enthusiasm always stymied their efforts. In 2016, Sony finally made the choice to relaunch the series rather than add a third installment.
The majority of the cast made cameo appearances in the new Ghostbusters to play minor supporting parts with the existing ensemble. However, many viewers do not appreciate that; they find these cameos forced, funny, and really boring, especially Bill Murray's. Murray's three-minute sequence had the potential to be humorous, but his stilted delivery and reluctance to express himself fully make it uninteresting and quite depressing to watch.

#2 Bruce Willis - Ocean's 12 (2004)

Ocean's 12 has received mixed reviews from critics, with some admiring the film's European direction and others finding the self-satisfied tone it conveyed repulsively. This disagreement of views also includes the movie's subplot with Julia Roberts and the fact that Bruce Willis appears in the role of himself.
Although nicely performed, the cameo has a very high concept and is really bizarre to watch in action. Julia Roberts portrays Tess Ocean, who poses as Julia Roberts because the two actresses have similar appearances. When Tess runs into Willis in real life, he mistakenly thinks Tess is Julia Roberts. It's difficult to follow, and the entire cameo seems to have been added as a gimmick to incorporate another famous person.

#3 Macy Gray - Spider-Man (2002)

In Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movie, Macy Gray has a brief cameo as the hired singer for an NYC parade.
Although Macy Gray has a new record and is still performing, she has lost some of her early 2000s popularity. In fact, some people who are revisiting the movie today might not even know who she is. It was obviously a marketing ploy by Sony, which also owned the record company for Macy Gray and the Spider-Man movie studio.

#4 Quentin Tarantino - Django Unchained (2012)

In his own films, Quentin Tarantino likes playing minor roles and typically finds at least one opportunity for a cameo or supporting part. While his films are typically well-liked, his appearances are frequently met with less enthusiasm.
His previous appearance in Pulp Fiction is what the viewers equate the character to, although Tarantino's performance in Django Unchained is widely seen as being far worse. His unpleasant Australian accent plus the fact that he enters the movie right before the very height of the climax, make it impossible for spectators to ignore him.

#5 Michael Bolton - Snow Dogs (2002)

Most people think that the 2002 movie Snow Dogs, which stars Cuba Gooding Jr., isn't the best. Even its bizarre celebrity appearance failed to turn around the film's dismal reviews.
In a talking record cover, Michael Bolton makes an appearance as himself and encourages Cuba Gooding Jr.'s character to "have a soul." In addition to seeming indifferent, it is incredibly random and seems like Bolton only had one take to deliver his statement. He and Gooding Jr. probably weren't even on the same set together for the sequence.

#6 Al Pacino - Jack And Jill (2011)

The movie Jack and Jill, in which Adam Sandler is nominated for two Razzies, is regarded as one of the worst movies ever made, as well as one of the worst-reviewed movies in recent memory.
The Oscar-winning performer actually seems to be delivering a more committed performance as a parody of himself than he has in recent dramatic films, which is one reason why the cameo is so terrible. If the rest of the movie wasn't so bad, it may have been a humorous cameo.

#7 Iggy Azalea - Furious 7 (2015)

Because of the action, acting, and especially the moving homage to the recently-deceased Paul Walker, many people believe that The Fast and the Furious 7 is one of the finest installments in the series.
As a rival to the movie's lead character, Letty Ortiz, the Australian rapper who was making news at the time, feels incredibly out of place. Her acting is also lacking, and the editing that plays the phrase repeatedly during her delivery of "ghost girl" just serves to make it more ridiculous.

#8 M. Night Shyamalan - Lady In The Water (2006)

M. Night Shyamalan is known for making an appearance in every movie he films, usually in the form of a brief cameo, though occasionally he plays a little larger part. However, a viewer said of his performance in Lady in the Water, "He truly went beyond."
The cameos in Shyamalan's movies are allusions to one of his idols, Alfred Hitchcock, who frequently made brief appearances in his own movies. However, Shyamalan's role in Lady In The Water is a writer whose work will rescue the world, which is a little too obvious given that he also authored the movie.

#9 Jack White - Cold Mountain (2003)

Jack White starred in Cold Mountain before Ed Sheeran made a guest appearance on Game of Thrones. The White Stripes frontman being inserted into the movie was a bad idea, according to some viewers. "His character adds nothing to the plot, his dialogue is minimal, and at least one shot lingers on him seemingly for no purpose other than to say "hey, we got Jack White to appear in this movie!"," they said.
Given that Cold Mountain is an epic historical drama, introducing the legendary singer with a one-and-a-half-minute song in the middle of the film seems odd. Although White did contribute some music to the soundtrack, the way the camera is fastened to his face as he looks into the camera makes his presence feel out of place.
