10 Movie Cameos That Were Total Accidents

10. 6 Underground - Ryan Reynolds

Explosive action movie 6 Underground was Netflix’s most expensive production when it was released in 2019 which isn’t all that surprising considering its credits. Directed by Michael Bay and featuring all the over-the-top action you would expect from him, the film’s lead role of One is played by hot commodity Ryan Reynolds.

Wait, so how exactly does Ryan Reynolds cameo in his own movie? The answer is: as himself.

During production, the Deadpool star took it upon himself to make use of his time away from the camera to make an amusing Instagram video. Reynolds talks about the highlights of working with Michael Bay being the “quiet moments” just as a speeding vehicle slams into a van and spins through the air just metres behind him.

Of course, the star’s biggest fans took to scrubbing through the movie on release to see if this take was the one that had made it into the picture. Sure enough, during a car chase through the streets of Florence Italy, for a brief second a man of Ryan’s build can be seen leaning against a wall.

It’s visible for just a moment but it’s a fun little piece of trivia that seems somehow very accurate for Reynold’s propensity for breaking the fourth wall.
