10 Extremely Subtle Movie Cameos That Went Straight Over Your Head

7. Matt Damon & Brad Pitt Play Handsome Contestants In Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind

Did you know that the actor George Clooney directs movies, too? Yeah, he does, because people aren't allowed to be good at just one thing in Hollywood - they have to be capable of multiple talents... you know, to make the rest of us feel bad about how we're mostly doing nothing with our lives.

Anyway, George's first movie was called Confessions of a Dangerous Mind - one for which he imported two of Hollywood's biggest stars (and two of his best friends) for the sake of the smallest joke. This particular Confessions scene has a Blind Date-type scenario in place, with a female contestant concealed from three men behind a wall, whilst she asks them questions to gauge their personalities.

The third, goofy-looking character is the one we're concerned with within the context of the movie, but Clooney makes room for a brief panning shot to give us a glimpse of the other two contestants: blink and you'll miss that these guys happen to be freakin' Brad Pitt and freakin' Matt Damon.

The joke is that the woman doesn't pick either of these two gentlemen, and evokes for the average Joe on the end. Well, if you've got these two as friends, why not set aside some time to make a gag like this, right?
