Movies You Didn't Realize Jimmy Buffett Was In

Most of Buffett's movie turns have been of the blink-and-you-miss-him variety, in true cameo fashion, no doubt for the fun of it, rather than the fame. He was one of a fistful of celebrities in Steve Spielberg's Hook — he gets framed in a shot between Robin Williams's shoes, but is uncredited — joining Glenn Close and David Crosby, among others. More recently, as of May 2020, he gets not only product placement, but a moment of screen time, in 2015's Jurassic World. One of the scenes is set on the patio of a Margaritaville Restaurant, where Buffett takes a moment to grab drinks off the table as he makes a run for it, chased by a flying dino. Priorities, right?

His key vibe is "chill," but that hasn't stopped him from capitalizing on people's desire for eternal vacation — which is probably why he was a good fit for the 2019 stoner comedy Beach Bum. Between branded items, the aforementioned restaurants, resorts, and other investments, Buffett has amassed a tidy fortune — as of mid-2019, his personal wealth topped well over a half-billion. The cameos didn't hurt.
