15 Things You Somehow Missed In Shaun Of The Dead

2. Chris Martin Is A Zombie

Chris Martin appears in Shaun Of The Dead as a vacant, undead human-like creature, but did you know he also played a zombie in the movie?

The Coldplay singer made a cameo towards the end of the film, playing a version of himself, talking to Vernon Kay about the charity ‘ZombAid’. But what you might not have spotted is that he actually appeared a few moments earlier, playing one of the zombies outside The Winchester as Shaun and Liz exit the pub.

Other zombie cameos in the film include a couple of former Spaced stars, such as Lucy Akhurst, who appeared in four episodes as Simon Pegg’s love interest Sophie in the sitcom. You may have also spotted Michael Smiley, who reprised his role of Tyres to play an undead version of his Spaced character in Shaun Of The Dead.
