Nothing is better than a surprise cameo by a famous actor. Most movies nowadays are picked apart before they even come out so a lot of the time, celebrity cameos get revealed before the movie even releases. When they do manage to remain a secret, it’s a true delight to watch them show up on screens. Especially when they’re playing versions of themselves.
