The Most Obscure Celebrity Music Video Cameos That We All Forgot About

Celebrities starring in music videos isn’t a new thing. Taylor Swift famously brought her entire girl gang in for her Bad Blood music video, and Beyonce’s All Night featured some other powerful black actresses in Hollywood today, including Amanda Steinberg and Zendaya.

But what about the videos with the more subtle cameos? There are a lot of them out there with secret celebrity appearances you’ll be surprised you forgot about. I was shocked to find out this legendary comedic actor appeared briefly in a fun-loving music video.

Your favorite Swedish actor took some time out of filming True Blood to appear in Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” music video. He played Gaga’s crazy boyfriend who throws her off the balcony, only to be poisoned by the star later as revenge.

Uh, foreshadowing much? Skarsgård just starred in the HBO series, Big Little Lies, where (spoilers!) his abusive character gets pushed off a balcony.
