Britney Spears made a surprise and unforgettable cameo in Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002), the third film in the wildly popular spy-spoof franchise starring Mike Myers.

Known for its outrageous humor, pop culture references, and over-the-top characters, the movie kicks off with a bang—literally—with Britney’s scene.Playing herself in a flashy music video parody, Britney performs her hit “Boys” with full pop diva flair before revealing a hilarious twist: she’s actually a fembot.

In classic Austin Powers fashion, sparks fly (literally) when her robotic identity is exposed and she launches an attack on Austin, only to be outwitted by his groovy moves. It’s a brief but iconic moment that blends Britney’s peak pop superstardom with the film’s cheeky tone, making her cameo one of the most memorable—and explosive—celebrity appearances in the series.
