Robert Downey Jnr - Elton John's 'I Want Love'

Chevy Chase - Paul Simon's 'Call Me Al'

Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista - George Michael's 'Freedom'

Ah, loads. If I start I won't stop. Plus, just noticed that the Elton John song I used was incorrect thanks to Paul Calf so I have sneakily edited my post and hope no-one has noticed.:)

I'm partial to a bit of Spike Jonze in Praise You...:)

Special mention to William Burroughs in U2's Last Night On Earth.

Ooooooh, and Sadie Frost (Jude Law's Ex) as the posh bird in Common People...carting Jarvis around in a shopping trolley.

Hey hey hey...I just got a screen capture...

Did anyone see Tom Petty's "Last dance with Mary Jane".
In the video, he plays a necropheliac doctor, and Sharon Stone is the corpse...
Good video, but a tad creepy.
Annie Hall
09-18-2003, 10:59 PM
Adrien Brody is in a Tori Amos (shudder) video...VERY odd, but he's still very alluring despite his lack...of...body...

And, of course, Walken in Weapon of Choice is tops.

Greb's main man Johnny Depp ;) was in Tom Petty's "Into the Great Wide Open" as well as Faye Dunaway and Gabrielle Anwar


Juliette Lewis was in Melissa Etheridge's "Come to My Window"

Naomi Campbell was in the Micheal Jackson video "Closet" (enter your own joke here)


Edward Burns appeared in Tom Petty's "Walls" which was a song of the soundtrack to Burns' movie "She's the One"

John C. Reilly, Winona Ryder andGiovani Ribisi stood in for the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion in the video for "X-Ray"

Stephanie Seymour was in Guns and Roses' video for "November Rain"

And I can't remember the name of the song, but Claire Danes was in a Soul Asylum video where angel wings grow out from her back. Pretty weird video.


That's all I type out for now.....

Sarah Micelle Gellar was in that really bad Stone Temple's Pilot clip. And I think Arnie turned up in a stinking Bon Jovi thing as well recently.

The best has to be the afoermentioned somewhere on this site Nick Cave's "Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow" withof all people the very tired looking Jason Donovan.

Jerry O'Connell is the cheating BF of Mariah Carey's "Heartbreaker"

Heather Matarazzo is seen in Sheryl Crow's very trippy music vid "A Change Would Do You Good"

The VERY scrumptious Craig Kelly who played VINCE in Queer as Folk...mmmm.

Jamie King is in the new Robbie "fat dancer" Williams vid, Sexed Up.

So, is Craig Kelly popular over there?

Alas...he's sorta dwindled off into obscurity as far as I'm aware, much like Aidan Gillen who played STUART. Shame really...he was a fine bit of stuff and by far my favourite of the trio...although roguish Mr. Gillen definitely had his moments.

J&SB were in Can't Even Tell (or something) by Soul Asylum, it's on the Clerks dvd, but I'm sure they're in another one too, where they're holding up signs that say "this is how to make a music video".

I'm surprised Bad Cover Version hasn't been mentioned yet, as it features a host of celebrities, such as Jarvis Cocker, Missy Elliot, Kylie, Brian May, Kurt Cobain, Meat Loaf... I could go on...

Actually, they are all FAKE celebrities (hence the title)...'twas done in a BAND AID stylee, and I personally think it's one of the greatest vid's ever. Check out the deadly serious Meat Loaf and the truly fucking abysmal Cher...oh, and Brian May is none other than JARVIS of COCKER himself...

I'd heard that Kurt Cobain was dead, so I always wondered how he managed to show up in a video that came out last year.
