Zoe Kravitz gave her dad Lenny Kravitz a cameo appearance in Blink Twice because she thought it would be “funny.”
The actress stepped behind the camera to make her directorial debut with the movie — which stars her fiancé Channing Tatum — and eagle-eyed cinema-goes have spotted her rocker dad Lenny appearing very briefly working out in a gym wearing a see-though tank top, leather trousers and sunglasses.
“[He is in the film] for a split second … I just thought it would be funny,” Zoe Kravitz told Variety she included the scene for a laugh.
Zoe‘s mother Lisa Bonet didn’t get a cameo in Blink Twice but the actress-turned-director has credited her mom with supporting her throughout the filmmaking process.
“[Mom] does [appear in the film] spiritually. She was my anchor throughout the whole film,” she added.
It comes after Zoe admitted she felt like she was battling self-doubt while she was directing Blink Twice.
“Absolutely. Every day. The first day, I definitely had a moment of wondering, what did I get myself into?” Zoe told The New York Times about having imposter syndrome. “And just feeling really overwhelmed and wondering if I could do it. But the great thing about directing is that you’re so busy, you don’t have time to worry that much.
“I’m an incredibly heady person. I have an existential crisis probably multiple times a day, thinking about death. I kept on making the joke to myself: I don’t have time to think about death because I’m so busy. And if the film is horrible, it doesn’t matter, because we’re all just going to die, so it’s fine.”
