10 Actors Who Made Sure They Weren't Seen In Movies
8. Jim Carrey - The Bad Batch
In Ana Lily Amirpour's dystopian thriller The Bad Batch, Jim Carrey makes a most unexpected cameo appearance as a wasteland-drifting mute man known only as the Hermit.
Even when Carrey removes his cardboard sunglasses, the legendary funnyman is virtually unrecognisable, caked in dirt with a long wig of hair and flowing grey beard.
Carrey wanted his presence in the film to be a surprise for audiences, enough that he insisted neither his name nor likeness could be used prominently in its marketing campaign.
According to the director herself, when she went to meet Carrey to discuss the part, he'd already gotten to work embodying the physicality of the Hermit: "he had this full beard like the character, and I had goosebumps."
Given that Carrey was the film's most famous cast member - edging out Keanu Reeves, who is at least recognisable throughout - one can assume the studio really wished they could've promoted the film with his name and face.
