10 Celebrities You Didn't Realise Were Hidden In Video Games

1. 50 Cent - Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Call of Duty’s relationship with celebrities went overboard when Kit Harington, Conor McGregor and, err, Lewis Hamilton, were randomly cast in Infinite Warfare, and back across the late 2000s, they were still building momentum. Before Robert Downey Jnr would pilot a fighter jet for Black Ops 2 and Our Friend Snoop Dogg did a voice pack for Ghosts though, Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson recorded a number of contextually-specific lines for Modern Warfare 2’s Spec-Ops mode.

Though his lines are served up at random, you can definitely hear it's Jackson chiming in when the player does everything from reloading their gun, planting a C4, getting shot or even when being revived.

It's a neat find, and 50's track Crime Wave can also be heard blasting out of one of the Humvees back at base camp in the campaign.
