Late celebrity spinner Adam Goldstein — revered across the music world as DJ AM –makes a cameo appearance in the superheor blockbuster Iron Man 2, in theaters May 7.
The acclaimed mixmaster succumbed to a drug overdose in his New York City apartment last August. He was 36. Two months before his death, Goldstein filmed a party scene that is featured in the film. Lensman Jon Favreau — who directed the sequel to 2008’s cinema hit — tells The Los Angeles Times that although it was a difficult decision, he’s decided to let the cameo stay.
“We tried to make it respectful, and for people who know him, they’ll get a kick out of it and for people who don’t, it will sort of slide by without much notice.”
Iron Man 2 is dedicated to the memory of DJ AM.
