19 Awesome Movie Cameos Nobody Saw Coming

3. Hugh Jackman - X-Men: First Class

Fox did a fantastic job keeping Hugh Jackman's seconds-long cameo in X-Men: First Class a total secret, such that when Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Magneto (Michael Fassbender) headed into a bar to recruit Wolverine during the movie, it was a total surprise to everyone.

The icing on the cake is that when the pair introduce themselves to Logan, he curtly replies with a dismissive "Go f**k yourself", before he goes back to chomping on his cigar and ordering another drink.

This was brilliant all-around and served as a welcome, snappy surprise that didn't outstay its welcome or give Wolverine too much of the spotlight. Just terrific.
