Of all of the celebrity cameos in “Iron Man 2,” the appearance by Adam Goldstein (aka DJ. A.M.) has a particular resonance for director Jon Favreau, due to Goldstein’s sudden demise last summer.
“I was just a fan of his, just an admirer of his work, and it was supposed to be a one-day bit,” Favreau told The Los Angeles Times. “But Robert [Downey Jr.] took a real shine to him, as we all did. His energy was amazing, he was such a inspiring guy and there was a lot of depth to him and this positive energy.
“He ended up staying on with us for about a week and it was just great,” continued Favreau. “We set up this turntable and between takes he would give me pointers.”
Goldstein’s cameo reportedly occurs in a scene in which Tony Stark is celebrating his birthday during a wild party while “boozed-up” and wearing his latest Iron Man armor. The scene also features Goldstein as a DJ one more time, for perhaps his biggest audience to date.
“We tried to make it respectful,” said Favreau. “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.”
Goldstein rose to prominence as one of the top DJs in the music industry and collaborated with several artists, including Will Smith, Jay-Z and Madonna. He also survived a harrowing plane crash in 2008 before succumbing to an accidental drug overdose last August.
According to Favreau, word of Goldstein’s death deeply saddened the cast and crew of the film.
“When he passed, it was very difficult for a lot of us,” related Favreau.
Goldstein’s cameo will include music Queen, Rob Bass and Daft Punk mixed together in the style of DJ A.M. by Kevin Scott, one of Goldstein’s closest friends. Favreau reportedly had difficulty securing the music rights for that scene, but indicated that it was well worth it to complete his tribute to Goldstein.
“Our heart goes out to his family and friends,” related Favreau. “And we hope what we’ve done is pleasing to them and to the many, many people who held Adam in high regard.”
Favreau also revealed that the film is dedicated to Goldstein and that his distinctive lightning-bolt symbol will be displayed in the end credits.
