10 Most Bizarre Celebrity Cameos In Music Videos

It's impossible to mention bizarre celebrity cameos and not have Fatboy Slim's Weapon of Choice as the epitome of the conversation.

Released back in 2000 and directed by Spike Jonze, Weapon of Choice showcased a side of Christopher Walken most people had never seen before.

Filmed entirely in the lobby of a Marriott Hotel in Los Angeles, the video starts with The Deer Hunter star relaxing in his chair, before hearing the song rouses him to a dance. That dance becomes a leap, and that leap becomes actual flying.

So, why did Walken agree to be in the video? Well, he simply wanted to do something different.

"The big thing about that for me was to work with Spike Jonze. He's terrific. And young. He asked me to do that based on my work on a movie twenty years ago, Pennies from Heaven. The best thing about that for me was I'm going to be 84 years old [kidding] and at this point [it's nifty] to be able to be in a music video and actually have kids think it's cool."

Ranked as the ninth on Billboard's list of the Greatest Music Videos of the 21st Century, Christopher Walken's dancing picked up six awards at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards.

Take one iconic actor and have them do something the audience sees as uncharacteristic, and you've got a hit. Add a catchy song by a legendary DJ and one of the most esteemed directors of all time, then what you have is a complete masterpiece.
