Fact: A Secret Cameo of Palahniuk Spotted Sitting Next to Sam Rockwell on a Plane

I love discovering those little Easter eggs hidden in movies, and here’s a fun one I recently came across. Did you know that Chuck Palahniuk, the brilliant author of Fight Club and Choke, makes a tiny cameo in the final scene of Choke?

It’s such a brief moment, but if you’re paying attention, you’ll spot him sitting next to Sam Rockwell on the plane. It’s like a secret nod to fans — Palahniuk blending into his own story in the most subtle way.

That moment always makes me smile because it shows how much Palahniuk is woven into his work, even in small ways. Plus, it’s a reminder of how authors sometimes sneak into their adaptations or films inspired by their stories — kind of like an inside joke for those who catch it.

Watching that scene again, I couldn’t help but think about how much Palahniuk’s dark humor and sharp wit are embedded in the film’s tone.

If you’re a fan of Palahniuk or just love spotting hidden gems in movies, this tiny cameo is a perfect example of how filmmakers and writers like to leave little breadcrumbs for eagle-eyed viewers. It’s these details that make re-watching films so rewarding!
