Donald Trump's Movie Cameos Ranked From Worst To Best

6. Celebrity (1998)

The Film: Lee Simon (Kenneth Branagh) is a typical Woody Allen surrogate protagonist: neurotic, intellectual, and a bit of an a**hole. In the midst of a mid-life crisis, which sees him get divorced and become deeply immersed in the world of tabloid "journalism", Lee tries to figure out what it all means.

The Cameo: Near the end of the movie, Lee's ex-wife Robin (Judy Davis) interviews a number of celebrities inside one of New York's most exclusive restaurants, and eventually comes across Trump.

Robin asks Trump what he's working on right now, and he says, "I'm working on buying St. Patrick's Cathedral, maybe doing a little rip-down job and putting up a very very tall and beautiful building."

It's pretty impressive that Allen managed to convince Trump to parody himself so blatantly, given how believable it is that he'd actually do something as gaudy and ostentatious as pull down an iconic cathedral in real life. Marvelous.
