15 Actors With an Unexpected Hidden Talent

1-15

Actors with secret skills.

Nazarii Verbitskiy Nazarii Verbitskiy
Entertainment - October 1st 2025, 17:00 GMT+2
Chris Evans

15. Chris Evans

Chris Evans has been playing piano since he was a kid and can also handle guitar and even “fake it” on drums. During the pandemic, he shared little concerts on Instagram, playing pieces like Fabrizio Paterlini’s music. It gave fans a glimpse of a quieter, more personal side of Captain America. | © Netflix

The Rock

14. The Rock

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson showed off his singing voice in Moana, but that wasn’t the first time. He also plays the ukulele and once performed “What a Wonderful World” while promoting Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. The moment matched his character in the movie and proved he’s got some real musical chops. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

Tom Cruise

13. Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise has a hobby that doesn’t usually make it into his movies: fencing. He enjoys it so much that he once got Will Smith and David Beckham into the sport as well. Add in a surprisingly good Donald Duck impression, and it seems there’s little he can’t do. | © Universal Studios

Idris Elba

12. Idris Elba

Idris Elba has been spinning records since he was a kid, and it’s still a big part of his life. He’s even DJed major events, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding. Elba joked that playing some uncensored Dr Dre was his personal gift to the couple. | © Netflix

Bruce Willis

11. Bruce Willis

Bruce Willis has always had a side passion for music. He’s released albums, performed with his band The Accelerators, and even played the harmonica on stage. Years back, he surprised a crowd by singing and showing off those harmonica skills. | © Vertical Entertainment

Jake Gyllenhaal

10. Jake Gyllenhaal

Jake Gyllenhaal isn’t just a dramatic actor – he can really sing. He’s shown off his voice on stage and even belted out Boyz II Men’s “End of the Road” while hosting SNL in 2024. Clips online prove it wasn’t a one-time thing, since he’s been singing for years. | © Amazon Studios

Keanu Reeves

9. Keanu Reeves

Keanu Reeves grew up playing ice hockey and was serious enough about it to dream of the Olympics as a kid. Even after moving to Los Angeles to chase acting, he still hit the rink for daily pickup games. The love of skating has stuck with him ever since. | © Summit Entertainment

Tom Holland

8. Tom Holland

Tom Holland’s career started with dance long before Spider-Man. After being spotted in a hip hop class, he trained in ballet, tap, and acrobatics for two years before landing a role in Billy Elliot The Musical. Along the way, he also picked up gymnastics, which later made his stunts look effortless. | © Apple TV+

Jeremy Renner

7. Jeremy Renner

Before his acting career took off, Jeremy Renner worked as a makeup artist in the early 1990s. He landed the job at a Lancôme counter after gaining experience doing his own stage makeup. It’s a far cry from Hawkeye, but it paid the bills and showed his eye for detail. | © Paramount Pictures

Christopher Walken

6. Christopher Walken

Christopher Walken once worked as a lion tamer when he was just 16. His main job was stepping into the cage and coaxing a lion named Sheba to sit and roar on cue. Looking back, he’s said he’s always loved cats, big or small, for their company. | © Mongrel Media

Andrew Garfield

5. Andrew Garfield

Andrew Garfield grew up doing both swimming and gymnastics, which later came in handy when he took on Spider-Man. He’s always enjoyed doing his own stunts, leaning on that athletic background. In 2017, he even pulled off a clean backflip on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to raise money for charity. | © A24

Zac Efron

4. Zac Efron

Zac Efron once showed off a very unexpected skill on The Graham Norton Show. He managed to pull off a pole move where he held himself out sideways using just his arms. It wasn’t a full routine, but the grin on his face said he was proud he could still do it. | © Apple TV+

Nick Offerman

3. Nick Offerman

Nick Offerman’s love of woodworking isn’t just a TV character trait. He’s a skilled craftsman in real life and even runs his own woodshop that creates custom pieces. The overlap with Ron Swanson makes his Parks and Rec role feel even more authentic. | © NBCUniversal

Mark Ruffalo

2. Mark Ruffalo

Mark Ruffalo once surprised everyone on The Graham Norton Show by hopping on a unicycle. He first learned the skill at 12, and even after years away, he managed to ride both forward and backward with ease. It was a goofy, impressive moment that proved the Hulk can balance on one wheel just fine. | © Focus Features

Vin Diesel

1. Vin Diesel

Vin Diesel isn’t just about fast cars and action movies. He actually founded his own video game studio, Tigon Studios, which developed titles that put him front and center. The company isn’t very active now, but it shows how much he loves gaming behind the scenes. | © Universal Studios
