We love a multi-talented celebrity who can dance, sing, act, and wear sky-high heels without falling over (yes, I’m talking about Lady Gaga right now), but there are some really random actors lurking out there who have you completely. forgot had a singing career. Probably because in some cases said singing careers have been slightly short due to their difficult return to acting!
For example, did you know that Ricky Gervais was part of a British New Wave band? Have you fallen so much in love with Zoë Kravitz, the actress, that you have completely forgotten Zoë Kravitz, the singer? Did you unfortunately not know that Addison Rae, the star of TikTok and He’s All That, is also Addison Rae, the singer of the uncritically acclaimed single “Obsessed”?
And then there are the actors who have been singing since the dawn of time (aka the 1980s) without any of us realizing it. I’m certainly talking about Russell Crowe in this case, or as he was called “Russ le Roq” at the time. Annnnnnyway, we take a look back at 45 actors who are (or, uh, maybe more accurately were) also making music in parallel. Some glimpses of who you’re about to be blown away? Leighton Meester, Ryan Gosling, Bruce Willis, Naomi Campbell, Robert Pattinson and Lucy Hale. IKR?
Click to experience some real shocks, and in the meantime just let me go ahead and ask Alexa to play “Jam (Turn It Up)” by the artist known as Kim Kardashian.
