Getting Brad Pitt to make a brief appearance in the film was the right decision. He is a top-class actor with a dominating aura. His extraordinary acting skills and timeless handsome face surely captivate anyone who watches him. Brad Pitt is truly in a league of his own.
But do you know, Brad Pitt was actually offered the role of Cable, the villain in the film DEADPOOL 2. However, he had to settle for stepping back due to conflicting shooting schedules. Don't worry, he has quenched the thirst of his fans by making a brief appearance as Vanisher, someone who is visible before being electrocuted. His appearance lasted only 1.5 seconds, making it the shortest cameo ever shown by this seasoned actor.
2. Donald Trump in Home Alone 2

Donald Trump's appearance in the classic Christmas film, HOME ALONE 2, has shocked the public. It seems that viewers never expected this controversial former president to appear, even for a moment. Trump shows his teeth when Kevin asks him for directions. When watching it again, this still feels very strange and unreal.
Trump's cameo appearance also received criticism. Many even requested his scene to be removed. The main actor, Macaulay, also joined in the trending Twitter by tweeting his support for removing Trump's appearance. This is suspected due to Trump's series of actions that harmed many parties.
3. Ed Sheeran in Game of Thrones

Ed Sheeran became one of the most talked about cameos in GAME OF THRONES. The singer of Photograph appeared in season 7, episode DRAGONSTONE. He transformed into one of the Lannister soldiers, Eddie, who happened to cross paths with Arya Stark while traveling to Riverlands. When Sheeran's character sang the song Hands of Gold, Arya joined them before sharing her grievances about King's Landing.
With Ed's skyrocketing popularity at the time, the GOT casting team certainly enlisted this singer to garner public attention. However, that's not the only reason. His appearance was made to surprise the character Arya Stark, Maisie Williams. Maisie is a big fan of Ed Sheeran. This is also a fan meeting event for Eddie. Either way, GOT successfully showcased a new color through Ed Sheeran's special appearance
