In a recent popular movie which film star played a character who had to pretend to be him or herself? Are there any other movies where a star has done this?

Well, there was "Being John Malkovich," one of those interesting efforts from Charlie Kaufman. I'm not sure what recent film you're referring to, but I'll look into it. 1 vote. Jun 07 05, 7:43 PM

Yay Eytank. In "Being John Malkevich" I think he just played himself (although it might not have been a very true version of himself). In last year's "Oceans Twelve", Julia Roberts played Tessa Ocean who, at one point, had to pretend to be Julia Roberts. I'm sure this must have happened in a movie before but I couldn't give an example. Jun 07 05, 8:19 PM

Not quite Barker. There are hundreds of movies where people play themselves but that wasn't what the question asked for. Jun 08 05, 6:05 PM

Which pop star named herself after a character from the movie 'Reservoir Dogs'? Who is the fifth Harry Potter movie going to be directed by, and what other movies has he done? It was recorded in 1951 and named after a minor character in a 1953 film. Since then it has been included in various films from "A Star is Born" to all six Star Wars movies and some say it can be distracting when you are aware of it. What is it? Who played herself in a 1919 film which shares its name with a film of 1972 which had three Oscar nominations?
