Happy Birthday Kate Moss; NationalWorld’s favourite moments the Supermodel appeared on film and TV

Who could forget when she wore “those” Hunters when she visited the muddy banks of Glastonbury in 2005, which went on to become the “boot du jour” for the trendy festival patron? NME would have photographs almost every week showing backstage shots of Kate Moss hanging out with Kings of Leon, The Kills and The Libertines. In the case of the latter two, she also had romances with The Kill’s Jamie Hince and The Libertines Pete Doherty, though only one of those would end up as tabloid fodder - you get one guess which lover that would be.

But for all her photoshoots, be it for Calvin Klein alongside a pre-Hollywood Mark Wahlberg, or being papped out and about in Milan, London, Paris and New York, we’ve long enjoyed at NationalWorld those brief moments that Moss has appeared on screen. Be it in a music video for a plethora of British bands during her “glow-up” in the modelling world to her tongue-in-cheek take on being one of the world’s most recognisable models, it’s always been a fascination seeing Kate Moss animated, rather than just in still picture form - despite how lucrative that has been for her.

So in honour of “Wagon’s” birthday, NationalWorld takes a look at some of our favourite moments Kate Moss has appeared on our screens. Happy Birthday, Kate!

What are NationalWorld’s favourite on-screen appearances by Kate Moss?

Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie

In the film adaptation of the popular British TV series "Absolutely Fabulous," Kate Moss makes a memorable cameo appearance. She plays herself and is involved in a storyline that revolves around Edina Monsoon (Jennifer Saunders) accidentally pushing her into the River Thames at a high-profile fashion event.

Zoolander 2

Kate Moss appears in a cameo role in "Zoolander 2," the sequel to the comedy film "Zoolander." Her role is again as herself in a humorous context, contributing to the film's satirical take on the fashion industry, much akin to the celebrities that were in the first “Zoolander” movie such as Fred Durst, Gwen Stefani and, of course, Billy Zane.

The Big Breakfast

A personal favourite of the writer of this article, Kate Moss appeared on the Big Breakfast couch in September 1995 to raise awareness for the latest War Child charity appeal. Discussing the importance of the charity with Gabby Roslin and compilation album “Help,” featuring the finest Cool Britannia had to offer musically at that time, Moss was ably assisted by her partner at the time - one Johnny Depp, who also contributed to the album playing guitar on Oasis’ single, “Fade Away.” Moss, for her part, provided tambourine to the single.

The White Stripes “I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself” MV

Kate Moss starred in the music video for The White Stripes' "I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself." Directed by Sofia Coppola, the video features Moss pole dancing provocatively to the dulcet tones of Jack White. Naturally, her performance in the video gained attention and became iconic, and a favourite to request on Kerrang!, Q and those other video jukebox channels that existed on Sky TV in the ‘00s.

Blackadder: Back and Forth

In the special episode of the British historical sitcom "Blackadder," Kate Moss makes a brief appearance as Maid Marian, who of course Edmund Blackadder took a shining to, ultimately bringing her back from history (we’re not too sure how that worked either) to become his bridge in the pretty much maligned special that premiered at another significantly maligned structure - The Millennium Dome, now known as the O2 Arena.
