When we look at the filmography of famous actors, we sometimes wonder if this celebrity really did star in this or that movie. And we're not talking about those films that turned out to be a box office flop, but rather about those that became cult films.

Most often, the reason for this is that the roles of movie stars are episodic or the actors are wearing masks/makeup. Read more about these on-screen characters in OBOZREVATEL's article.

• Matt Damon

American actor, producer, and screenwriter Matt Damon starred in the movie Thor: Ragnarok. He can be seen in a theatrical production as part of the movie. There, the celebrity in Asgardian armor played the role of Loki. This scene was added in order to briefly "tell" what happened in the previous parts of the cult movie.

• Daniel Craig

The English actor Daniel Craig, best known for his role in the James Bond films, starred as a stormtrooper in the movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The movie star himself approached the director, Jeffrey Jacob Abrams, to give him the opportunity to play one of the characters in the space saga. However, Daniel asked the filmmakers not to mention his name in the posters and credits. You can recognize the actor by his voice if you turn on the original voice acting: the stormtrooper sounds just like the on-screen hero James Bond.

• Edward Norton

American film actor, screenwriter and director Edward Norton starred in the movie Kingdom of Heaven. He played King Baldwin IV. Throughout the movie, the celebrity wears a golden mask that completely hides his face. However, he can be recognized by his voice.

• Selena Gomez

American film star, singer, designer and producer Selena Gomez was better known as an actress in her childhood. For example, she starred in the movies Spring Breakers, Getaway and Behaving Badly. But few people noticed her in the movie Spy Kids 3D: Game Over, which became the second movie in Selena's career. The actress played a cameo role, a girl from a water park.

• Tobey Maguire

American actor and producer Tobey Maguire made a cameo appearance as a hitchhiker in the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The on-screen character wore a white wig. So the lead role in Spider-Man was not the first achievement in the movie star's filmography.
