8 Secret Video Game Celebrity Cameos That Made You Say WHAT?!

4. Gary Busey - Hitman

HITMAN Elusive Target 7 The WildCard Gary Busey
IO Interactive

When you're a world-class assassin, killing high-profile targets is pretty much par for the course. Tyrannical dictators, business moguls, fashion designers, millionaires, and of course....Gary Busey?

Yes, that's right, while the world over lost their minds at being able to kill Sean Bean in Hitman 2 and help perpetuate the gimmick he has of dying over and over in his projects, the one, and only Gary Busey showed up as an elusive target in the rebooted Hitman in 2016.

Now if I'm being honest, this cameo wasn't so much of a secret as some others on this list as fans did actually get a chance to vote on who they wanted to hunt down next. Still, when it comes to the sheer "What?" factor, things reach a peak when you remember you're trying to track down and murder Gary bloody Busey!

Dubbed "The Wild Card" everything about this contract is played for laughs, with Busey being shown to be on location to sell a product called "Never Ashamed" a male hygiene product, and then listing a series of superpowers that Busey has claimed to have that then have a little addendum saying "debunked" next to them. It's a brilliant sorbet experience that fits perfectly alongside the more serious approach of other Hitman levels.
