We might have known some people who have been adept in showing the moves and a committed ear sore when it comes to singing. Some tried their luck in dancing while they already have a golden voice to enrich. We all have different talents to boot and we also have this weird urgency to try things alien to us.
While being great at one act of performing, we totally suck at the other, and we know we are not alone. But when God showered humankind with talents to perform, these people might have given a divine signal and have caught all the Heaven’s mighty blessings. We have known the people stated below as on-screen stars, big Hollywood bagshot names and people circling the world of cinema and yet, they have released music albums while at the peak of their acting careers. They are the Jack and Jill of all trades, and we can envy them for being so good at acting and singing they deserved to be called demigods.
Scarlett Johansson is one of the most beautiful faces to have ever walked the streets of Hollywood. With huge movies which she’s the leading actress, it is no wonder Scarlett’s name is known to almost any corner of the world. Little did everyone know that she released an album last 2008 which is entitled Anywhere I Lay Head after dropping hints two years back that she wanted to take a shot in being a singer.
Her appearance in Justin Timberlake’s What Goes around Comes Around music video is a clear sign that she’s really interested to do it; we’ve just been blinded by her angelic face and bodacious body. While music critics never have been harsh to the said album, they aren’t huge fans, too. Her streak in venturing music had branched out another European-released album with Pete Yorn called Break Up. Scarlett, we will never get tired of your music being internationally appreciated, your efforts will all be worth it.
Even before Kevin Bacon starred in Hallow Man, X-Men and Apollo 13, the actor had been active as well in underground music as the half of the band duo, The Bacon Brothers. Doing it with Brother Michael, Kevin Bacon had put focus on bluegrass rock genre and had been able to release six studio albums with 36 Cents as their seventh set to be available in 2016. Kevin and Michael had been performing on gigs for charity and while not as famous as they were on the cinema; the duo is keeping their passion alive by still creating music whenever given the chance.
If Ryan Gosling would sing for a girl, butterflies and kisses would surely be inevitable. After starring as Noah on the hit love story The Notebook, the whole female population never took their eyes off Gosling’s heavenly and twisted manly features. Girls might run to the nearest record bar and search for Dead Man’s Bones, Gosling’s only released album in 2009.
While the album’s twelve cuts might not be as romantic as how we pictured Gosling, the risky take of doing this album which stressed the ghastly and the dark should be well commended already.
Currently, girls can ogle on Gosling’s frequency in the Hollywood industry and can patiently wait for the next album. Spoiler alert: no plans have been leaked yet about this follow-up album, so better keep moving.
Another character that we won’t forget is Zooey Deschanel’s Summer in the movie 500 Days of Summer. While we can remember that there are a lot singing and humming involved in the movie, we never imagined Zooey taking music seriously. Teaming up with other music enthusiasts they have formed She and Him, which take notes on vintage pop.
The band’s first album, Volume One had received favorable responses from the general music critics. Suitable enough, the band had continued to march on and commercialized three more studio albums and is currently on the move in taking the mainstream music industry.
Circulating pubs and complexes since the 1990s, Jack Black and Kyle Gass’ rock band Tenacious D is something worthy of your ears. Jack Black is one of the funniest guys in show business and his take as Po in Kung Fu Panda is just hilarious but brace yourselves as you witness Black’s total transformation when he’s imbibing the musician alter-ego. Tenacious D’s latest release is on 2012 entitled Rize of Fenix (spelled that way) is a Grammy nominated album and have been praised by some fans due to its highly-comedic relief through music.
Other stars who have taken a shot in the music industry while being the famous that they can be on the limelight are Russell Crowe, Eddie Murphy, Donald Glover, Robert Downey Jr., David Hasselhoff, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Bruce Willis. Take note that this artists are certified as to have released their own albums, which are sold and purchased by the general public.
