A lot depends on the cast in a movie: it often guarantees the quality of the film and attracts viewers who prefer to see their favorites on screen. However, despite the huge number of actors in the modern industry, we are not particularly surprised by their appearance on the screen: they are all familiar to us in one way or another.

Ian Brown



You definitely remember this fleeting episode in the film “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” (2004), because in addition to the self-rotating teaspoon, the famous rock musician and frontman of the group “The Stone Roses” is present in this frame. It's funny that in a movie about wizards, its bohemian hero reads Stephen Hawking's book on time.

Sarah Ferguson

This is not the only cameo of the series, but it is the most memorable.

Elizabeth II



It’s not clear who looks cooler: the Queen or James Bond? In 2012, the Summer Olympic Games were held in London, Elizabeth II was offered to star in a short skit that would open the games. Surprisingly, she immediately agreed.

The princes are devoted fans of the star saga. The brothers secretly filmed Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) as stormtroopers, but the episode never made it into the final cut. In addition, they were much taller than the rest of the castmates, which also prevented the royal cameo. But they definitely made every boy’s dream come true!
