Ten Awesome Movie Star Cameos in Pop Videos

7. Snipes is Bad

Culprit: Wesley Snipes Michael Jackson- Bad (1987) Just how €œbad€ can a dancing troupe of hoodlums lead by the grotesque Peter Pan Of Pop actually be? If only Snipes had used some of the skills he showed in Blade and spoiled Jackson€™s years of plastic surgery, instead of standing glowering as his flouncy nemesis leads his groups of leathered up hoods in a chorus of €œ You€™re doing wrong€€ a hundred fucking times. http://youtu.be/fTWQxCoYgXI

6. Iron Man Wants Love

Culprit: Robert Downey Junior Elton John- I Want Love (2001) €œI Want Love€ should have been written for Robert Downey Junior, and it€™s testament to his simple performance in the video that it seems impossible to think it wasn€™t. Simply by wandering around a beautiful house, Downey Jnr manages to convey his own struggle with addiction and his self-destructive spiralling that often threatened to put paid to his career. I would also have included Justin Timberlake€™s chameleon-like performance as Elton John in the video for €œThis Train Don€™t Stop There Anymore€ if I didn€™t think there would be mass protests on the streets that I called Timberlake a movie star. http://youtu.be/ufbexgPyeJQ
