People were a bit surprised when director Ron Howard made a cameo in Jamie Foxx’s 2009 music video “Blame It.” He is depicted acting gangsta-like with Jake Gyllenhaal and Forest Whitaker

“When I saw the finished result I did ask around: ‘Is it okay that I did this?’ I mean, I am one of the whitest men in the world,” Howard later told Entertainment Weekly. “I like singer-songwriters. But I thought it was funny that I was in it. Jamie sent me a case of champagne and I asked him if I could now blame everything on the a-a-a-alcohol. I haven’t heard back from him on that.”
