10 Most Bizarre Celebrity Cameos In Music Videos
10. Danny DeVito - One Direction's Steal My Girl
In 2014, all was right with the world. Lockdown wasn't a thing, you could still do a weekly shop for under £3 million, and One Direction were still together.
Okay, that last one is only important for a percentage of the population.
Not only were they still together, but Harry, Zayn, Niall, Louis and Liam had just released their fourth album - which they decided to name a very un-cryptic 'Four' - and decided that having a quintet of global heartthrobs in a video simply wasn't enough; they needed to add another.
For lead single Steal My Girl, One Direction enlisted the help of one of the most recognisable faces on the planet in Batman Returns and Jumanji: The Next Level actor Danny DeVito!
Not only did the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star make waves in the video by meeting the group in a desert to be the visionary director for a strange and artistic mock video shoot within the actual music video itself, he even renamed each member of the band.
Arguably, though, the appearance of DeVito here isn't the most bizarre thing in a music video which also features a chimpanzee, sumo wrestlers Yamamotoyama Ryuta and Ulambayaryn Byambajav, retired rhythmic gymnast Julie Zetlin, acrobats, and a marching band.
This all comes to a head when DeVito "brings life to the desert" in a finale that would put Cirque du Soleil to shame with a scene of sensory overload that sees all of the above combined on-screen at one time.
