10 Recent Movie Cameos NOBODY Saw Coming

6. Brad Pitt - IF

Here's a cameo you quite literally didn't see coming.

In the end credits for John Krasinski's new adventure film IF, Brad Pitt is credited as Keith, an invisible IF (Imaginary Friend) who Cal (Ryan Reynolds) keeps tripping over.

Because it's not funny enough to cast an actor as famous as Pitt in a role where he's never seen on-screen - not unlike his prior invisible cameo as The Vanisher in Deadpool 2 - he also never says a word.

So basically, Pitt got a screen credit and possibly some tasty residuals for doing literally no work at all, and given that this is the second time Pitt and Reynolds have cooked up this gag, it seems to be a bit of a running joke between the duo. 

You never saw this one coming because there's a damn good chance you didn't even see his name pop up in the end credits either. Incredible.
