Useless (But Fun!) Fact For Today

That's right, Tom Cruise was in the movie Young Guns! Even though he's one of the biggest, most bankable stars in Hollywood history, Tom Cruise doesn't mind having a bit of a laugh by taking on a smaller cameo role.

His brief stints in Austin Powers and Tropic Thunder are completely and utterly legendary, and though those rumours of him playing an Iron Man variant in Doctor Strange 2 didn't pan out, it's easy to imagine that he would've jumped at the chance to add another cool cameo to his already impressive lineup.

One of his earliest cameos occurred during the 1988 western Young Guns, but unlike his bit-parts in those aforementioned comedy hits, Cruise is totally unrecognizable.

Sporting a moustache, some sideburns, and a large hat that helps conceal his identity, Cruise - who happened to be visiting the set that day - appears for a handful of seconds as a rootin'-tootin' gunslinger who is quickly shot down by his opponents.

You can sort of make out his facial features underneath all that costuming, but because he doesn't appear onscreen for very long, it's a very easy cameo to miss.
