I need an oral history on how Paris Hilton ended up making a cameo on The Cat in the Hat (2003).
Recently, we asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us the random cameos that made them say, “wait, what?” and they didn’t disappoint. Here are the unexpected movie appearances that made us do double takes.
3. Josh Groban in Muppets Most Wanted
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
"When it was revealed that he was the mysterious voice that had been locked in the cell, I burst out laughing. 😂"
4. Stan Lee in Princess Diaries 2
Buena Vista Pictures
"I'm so used to looking out for him in the Marvel movies, but this was the last place I'd expect to see him."
5. Paris Hilton in The Cat in the Hat
DreamWorks Pictures
"I can NEVER get to the bottom of why she was in it."
6. Glenn Close in Hook
TriStar Pictures
"Loved the film as a child, we still say random lines from it to this day as a family ('Rufio! Rufio! Ru-fi-OOOO') and I was pushing 30 when I found out that random pirate who was put in a chest was Glenn. Mind blown."

7. Michael Jackson in Men In Black II
Sony Pictures Releasing
8. Jimmy Buffett in Jurassic World
Universal Pictures
"He's there double fisting margaritas, running from the dinos."
9. Elton John in Spice World
PolyGram Filmed Entertainment
"He’s only there in the beginning, pretty much to establish they’re superstars. Duh. It’s just so adorable and random."
10. Channing Tatum in This is the End
Sony Pictures Releasing
"He's on a lead, humping Danny McBride's leg in his gimp outfit."
11. Luke Hemsworth in Thor: Ragnarok
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
"Chris' older brother, Luke, played Thor during the stage play lol."
12. Matt Damon in Interstellar
Warner Bros. Pictures
"It's one of my favourite movies, and seeing Matt Damon pop up on the screen was just the icing on the cake. I love that man, even if he did play an asshole. One of the best surprise cameos I’ve ever seen!"
13. Cate Blanchett in Hot Fuzz
Universal
"There are so many good cameos in Hot Fuzz, but this one is so random. It's seriously a blink and you'll miss it moment – she's barely recognisable."
14. David Bowie in Zoolander
Paramount Pictures
"Honestly the coolest cameo ever."
15. Al Pacino in Jack and Jill.
Sony Pictures Releasing
"He was hilarious in what was otherwise an awful movie."
16. Dustin Hoffman in The Holiday.
Universal Pictures
"Tiny, tiny cameo, but absolutely hilarious."
17. Hugh Jackman in Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb.
20th Century Fox
"It's one of my favorites. He has no trouble poking fun at himself!"
18. Ed Sheeran in Yesterday.
Universal Pictures
"He was so hilarious, my sister and I were cracking up the whole time. I loved when he suggested that the song should be called 'Hey Dude' instead of 'Hey Jude'."
