Here I have compiled the best music videos that feature cameos by famous actors or celebrities. Some you may know well and others may be new to you. By no means is this list all-inclusive...but it does include my favorites. Any suggestions for additions are welcome! I will start with two classics from the late eighties that I always loved. First is Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy" which features Robin Williams being his usual funny, wacky self and then Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al" featuring Chevy Chase. I believe these two kind of go together as they are both from the same time and are both kind of upbeat, fun videos.


Another video that came out soon after these was George Michael's Freedom '90, which featured supermodels like Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, and Linda Evangelista lip synching the words to the entire song. It was a great concept that felt really glamorous and modern at the time.

Perhaps a lesser known song and band...but the blonde bombshell in the video is very well-known. In Lit's "Miserable" from 1999 the band's stomping grounds is the body of Pamela Anderson. This is followed by "Stacy's Mom" by Fountains of Wayne, featuring supermodel and everyone's favorite MILF, Rachel Hunter.

Another famous cameo was Christopher Walken's expressionless and goofy dance to Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice." A true pop culture classic.

Finally, I will move on to the mini movie type of music video. First is a classic from Paula Abdul called "Rush, Rush" which features Keanu Reeves and was loosely based on Rebel Without a Cause. Next is Justin Timberlake's "What Goes Around Comes Around" featuring Scarlett Johanssen cheating on Justin with his costar from Alpha Dog, Shawn Hatosy.
