* In [[Clint Eastwood]]'s ''Hereafter'', George Lonnegan has quit being a professional psychic, but is recognised by a young boy at the book fair. He pulls this one as well, but it doesn't work, and {{spoiler|he eventually helps the boy talk to his dead twin brother, offering him some closure}}.

* ''[[Airplane!]]'', the co-pilot is Roger Murdock (pro basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar). A kid recognizes him as Kareem, but he initially denies it until the kid repeats some insulting statements his father made about him. He then admit he ''is'' Kareem, and apparently has a second career as an airline pilot that he performs under a false identity.
