Bruce Campbell’s Adorable ‘Clyde Camouflage’ Instagram Debut

When Bruce Campbell posted a simple snapshot captioned “Clyde camouflage.” on his Instagram feed, fans knew they were in for something special—but few expected to see his loyal sidekick decked out head to paw in military-inspired green.

Clyde’s Camouflage Moment

The image shows Clyde, Campbell’s black-and-white border collie, snug against a backdrop of dappled sunlight, wearing a dog-sized camouflage vest. Bruce Campbell, 65, tagged the image only with the cheeky two-word caption, letting the photo do all the talking.

Campbell’s Instagram handle, @shemp_malone, has long been a cozy corner for fans to peek behind the curtain of the Evil Dead star’s daily life—especially when it comes to his four-legged companion.

From Urban Jungle To Backyard Battles

Just weeks earlier, Campbell shared another pup-centric shot under the caption “Urban Jungle.” In that post, Clyde explored the pavement of a downtown landscape, nose to the wind as he navigated city streets with the same confident stride he brings to every on-screen adventure.

Those who scroll back further on @shemp_malone will find more moments like these—Clyde perched atop a scenic overlook captioned “Don’t be sedentary, they say. Sitting in a park is different, I say,” and another snap reading “I mess with my pix, like anyone, to achieve a desired effect. This one is unadorned.” Though Bruce’s quips vary from wry to wistful, the bond between actor and dog remains the through-line.

Cult Star And Canine Sidekick

Best known for his breakout role as Ash Williams in Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead franchise, Campbell’s resume spans cult classics, television guest spots, and directorial cameos. Off-screen, he’s cultivated a reputation for humor, a friendly rapport with convention fans, and a genuine love for cinematic—and real-life—adventure.

It’s that spirit of playful irreverence that shines through when he turns the lens on Clyde. In dressing his dog in camo, Campbell nods to his own action-hero persona, while reminding followers that a little levity goes a long way.

Fans Rally Around Clyde

Comments under the “Clyde camouflage.” post quickly filled with heart-eye emojis and tags from fans who could hardly believe a dog could look so cool. Many noted that this isn’t the first time Bruce’s pet steals the spotlight, with several calling for a dedicated Clyde fan page.

And though Bruce Campbell has tackled demon-filled cabins and time-travel mishaps on screen, it seems his biggest win of late comes courtesy of a tail-wag and a tactical vest.

With this latest post, Campbell reaffirms that whether he’s battling undead trees or staging backyard photoshoots, it’s the personal touches—like sharing life with a beloved pup—that truly resonate with his audience.

As fans refresh their feeds in hopes of more canine couture, one thing is clear: Clyde’s camouflage era has only just begun.
