20 Recent Movie Cameos NOBODY Saw Coming

11. Dwayne Johnson - Zootopia 2

Disney & Warner Bros.

Zootopia 2 has an undeniably stacked voice cast, and in the lead up to its release, Dwayne Johnson was confirmed to play a role in the film - one which ultimately proved much smaller and more conspicuous than surely anyone could've ever expected.

Johnson ends up providing the voice for Zeke, a dik-dik which gets stuck in a tuba during Judy (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick's (Jason Bateman) chaotic car chase early in the movie. We briefly see news footage of said dik-dik being freed from the tuba and launched into the sky.

There's virtually no chance you'd ever recognise Johnson's voice here considering he doesn't let out much more than a yelp when he's liberated from the tuba, so it's all the more hilarious that Disney got the ever-busy Johnson into a recording booth for such a throwaway, nothing role.

One can guess that Johnson did the cameo as a favour to Disney, probably while he was recording his lines for 2024's Moana 2.
