Well known actors showing in up in music videos is not something out of this world, we all know Aerosmith’s “Crazy” but it is quite interesting to see an Academy Award Winning well known actor in a music video. Here I present to you 6 times Oscar Winners acted in Music Videos.
Angelina Jolie
She’s been in 4 music videos. The first 2 before she started making movies. Then in 1997 after making Gia and Hackers she starred in The Rolling Stones’s “Anybody Seen My Baby” and then years later (post Oscar win) went on to do Korn’s “Did My Time” for the second Tomb Raider.

Now, this is a really weird music video and a bit gross tbh since Halle makes out with Fred Durst. The MV done for the film “Gothika” after Halle had won an Oscar.

This is actually a nice MV to look at since it features Charlize rescuing handsome Brandon Flowers.

Here’s Emma Stone audition tape for La La Land! Lol. Not really, but her performance here is a bit similar to that of said film.

Now, this is not a list so the actors shown are placed in no particular order BUT i DID save the best for last and that’s of course Christopher Walken giving us one of the most iconic performances of his career in Fatboy Slim’s “Weapon of Choice” MV.
