Those who've watched the movie know what I mean. There were so many prominent celebrities playing supporting characters in Don't Look Up, it's hard to keep track without checking IMDb.
Some notable names include Rob Morgan, Cate Blanchett, Timothée Chalamet, Tyler Perry, Ariana Grande, Mark Rylance, and more. Even Kid Cudi appeared in a couple of scenes.
One cameo was particularly surprising. As TikTok user Ben Köhler, who operates the account @sightpicture, recently pointed out, Don't Look Up's masked crew members can be seen very briefly in a moment that happens about halfway through the film. After spotting Ben's TikTok video, E! News published an article about what seemed to be an editing mistake earlier today.
But the crew's onscreen appearance was apparently more of an Easter egg than error, according to Don't Look Up's director, Adam McKay.
"Good eye!" he tweeted with a link to this morning's article. "We left that blip of the crew in on purpose to commemorate the strange filming experience."
A few of the movie's stars have shared anecdotes about filming Don't Look Up in the midst of the pandemic and how bizarre the experience was, since COVID-19 protocols prevented them from interacting with the outside world during production.
While Meryl explained how living in isolation impacted her ability to work, Jennifer revealed that she filmed most of Don't Look Up with a missing tooth because safety regulations meant she couldn't go to the dentist.
So, yeah. Strange circumstances indeed. You can watch the Don't Look Up crew's brief cameo here, or in the clip above.
