Chris Martin, the leader of Coldplay, features in one of the tougher to spot cameos in the film industry. There was a notion that he played a zombie in the film Shaun of the Dead, but his role was actually much more basic.

After years of there being rumours that he played one of the zombies, Simon Pegg debunked the myth. He confirmed that the only time the singer appears in the film is when the characters are watching TV at the end, and there is an interview where Buckland and Martin are supporters of a charity called ZombAid.

The role is minor, but it is one of the many small details that makes this film so great. The British zombie-movie parody is done so well, and the surprise cameo from the well-known musicians is the cherry on the cake.

The moment is pretty quick so it can be tough to spot, but true Pegg fans will get the reference and pick up on the fun little easter egg. Did you spot the stars, or did they manage to sneak by you?
