Whether it’s Johnny Depp in 21 Jump Street, Tom Cruise in the third part of the Austin Powers saga or even Brad Pitt in Deadpool 2, cinema has offered us many unforgettable cameos over the decades.
However, you may have missed some of them. Because in fact, sometimes it happens that a famous person sneaks off the big screen for a few seconds in a feature film… without ever showing their real face!
Invisible cameos
For example, it was the case of Glenn Close, who was dressed as a pirate in Hook by Steven Spielberg, Cate Blanchett, who was masked at the crime scene in Hot Fuzz, and also the star that we are interested in today.
We’re at the beginning of Dumb & Dumber De After 20 years in a mental institution (as a joke to his best friend!), Lloyd leaves the institution to temporarily live with Harry. During a brief scene where he visits his apartment, he encounters his strange lodger: a masked man in overalls who is apparently “making” Matthew.
Who is hiding behind this mask?
“This guy makes candy that makes everything weird, people come from all over town to buy it”Harry explains to his friend.
But do you know which famous actor is hiding under this outfit? Based on the costume, you’d obviously think it was Bryan Cranston, based on his role in Breaking Bad, but it’s not. Indeed, the man who appears on screen during this short sequence is none other than… Bill Murray!
The famous Ghostbusters and Endless Day actor, who also impressed with another memorable performance in Welcome to Zombieland, agreed to appear incognito in the Farrell brothers’ film.
“Like everyone else, I’m crazy about this guy.”
“Since we’ve never seen Icepeak’s face, we thought someone in illustration should do it. And who’s more iconic than Bill Murray?”Peter Farrelly told Vulture.
“Billy is such a good friend, every time he’s on set, everyone on the team is happy. So we wanted to call him just so we could spend time with him. Like everyone else, I’m crazy about this guy. .”
