10 Greatest Comedic Cameos That Dominated Their Respective Films

3. Hugh Jackman €“ X-Men: First Class (2011)

You'd be hard-pressed to find a person who doesn't immediately identify Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. He was a relative unknown when X-Men was first released back in 2000, and then became a household name overnight. The third film was taken over by Brett Ratner to mostly disappointing results, then Logan got his own standalone film with the mostly terrible X-Men Origins: Wolverine. A couple years after that, Matthew Vaughn signed on to revive the franchise with X-Men: First Class, which delved into the early years of the friendship between Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr. It was a film largely devoid of Jackman, save for a very brief and yet entirely memorable cameo. All it took was one line of dialogue involving the single allowable F-bomb in the PG-13 rated film to be the best part of the whole affair. Xavier and Magneto enter the bar to recruit Wolverine. Sitting at the bar with a half-finished cigar, Jackman utters his killer one-liner which had audiences howling with laughter and cheering with thunderous applause. Magneto: "Excuse me, I'm Erik Lehnsherr." Xavier: "Charles Xavier." Wolverine: "Go f*** yourself."
