Hey YouTube, Jim here! Welcome to Top10Archive! Whether or not you follow the lives of
celebrities, you might also feel inclined - if not pushed - to see them as one-dimensional.
They’re pretty, they’re tall, they’re funny. Mind you, it takes a lot to make it in Hollywood,
so it’s unlikely that any celebrity you know isn’t multi-talented. Some are flame-throwers,
animal-whisperers, hidden geniuses. Others, just ride the unicycle in their spare time
or play the banjo. Ready to find out who? Here are the Top 10 Celebrities With Hidden Talents!
10. Emma Roberts Cries Like A Baby Now that she’s more established in Hollywood,
Emma is known for much more than being another famous Roberts in the industry with an equally
charming smile. She’s now moved past her adorable teenage self and become a talented woman in more
ways than one. Not only is she a great actress, she also knows... [sounds confused] how to imitate
babies? Yes, on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno she showed the world what she had to offer.
A sound that could make anyone roll their eyes on a plane, audibly groan at a movie theatre, or wake
up to in the middle of the night. Babies crying. 9. Angelina Jolie Has Knife Skills
After seeing her carry around a vile of Billy Bob Thorton’s blood around her neck,
we can’t be all that surprised to know that she grew up with a love of knife-throwing.
She collected knives since childhood, so when she learned those skills would be put to use in
Tomb Raider, she was both ready, and willing. She proved these abilities a little during a visit to
the Conan O’Brien Show during which every single person present was totally entranced. Whether
this was because of her skills or her beauty, it’s hard to say, but regardless she’s very impressive!
8. Mark Ruffalo Rides The Unicycle Years ago, Mark Ruffalo got on The Graham
Norton Show and schooled everyone by showing off his unicycle skills that no one knew he had!
He seemed a little nervous about if he could pull it off or not. I can’t be the only one who watches
this just waiting for a head injury but - spoiler - he does it just fine despite not having tried
it for, according to him, 25 years! Learning to ride a bike is one thing, but a unicycle is
something else entirely, I would think. 7. Justin Bieber Solves a Rubik’s Cube
Despite having brought on a hair trend no one ever wants to return to, Bieber has immigrated to the
United States from his homeland of Canada with lots of talent to share. It’s not just his voice,
or his ear for a good beat. Justin Bieber actually knows how to solve a Rubik’s Cube decently fast.
It’s not record-breaking, which would be in just a few seconds, but he can solve them in under 2
minutes, which is still pretty impressive. 6. Christina Hendricks Plays Accordion
If you ever watched Mad Men you might have seen the majestic Christina Hendricks play
an accordion reluctantly after a dinner party. It was revealed later that it was 100% real! She
started playing more than ten years ago because she thought it was a really romantic instrument.
She loved how French it was, how it emulated the very aesthetic she looked for in her home decor.
What a happy feeling she must have to know it’s exactly what she portrays when she plays it.
5. Jamie Lee Curtis Invents Stuff Jamie Lee Curtis is likely one of the most
underrated celebrities out there. If you haven’t seen A Fish Called Wanda, go watch it and see what
I mean. She’s, of course, best known for being an actress, and depending on your age, you’ll know
her for being the mom in Freaky Friday. She is multi-talented in a way that many didn’t expect.
Back in 1987, she designed and developed a diaper with a pocket to hold an extra wet wipe.
This may seem small, unless you’re a mother. Sure, she’s gotten more accolades for her acting than
she has for inventing, but it’s her hidden talent! 4. Aaron Paul Is A Dog Whisperer
Aaron Paul is much more than the guy from Breaking Bad. He’s actually a known dog
whisperer and lover. Whether he’s good at training them or not is mostly unknown.
His talent lies in something a whole lot more... how can I put this lightly? Useless?
Apparently, he can tell the gender of a dog just by petting its back. It sounds hard to believe,
right? That’s exactly why Jimmy Kimmel put him to the test. Here’s how that went down: [play clip]
3. Bob Dylan the Sculptor No, it isn’t a typo, Bob Dylan the world-famous
folk singer is an iron sculptor. Not an average one, either. He built this amazing sculpture
measuring 26 by 15 feet, an archway for a casino in Maryland. As if he weren’t talented enough,
he’s making money left and right for his artistic skills. Turns out Bob Dylan has been into
sculpting maybe as long as he’s been into music. He was born and raised in iron country and says
he’s worked with it in a variety of ways. He’s also been known to dabble in drawing and painting.
2. Heidi Klum Can Yodel Ah, Heidi Klum, a bilingual
woman full of talent and charisma. Beyond being the great host of Project Runway and,
by no means less important, the great supermodel that she’s been for so many years,
she’s actually great at more than just looking good.
That’s hard for many to believe when it comes to supermodels, but it turns out that Heidi Klum
has the very German talent of yodeling. On Jimmy Fallon one day she actually displayed her talent.
1. Steve Martin, Master Of Banjo A lot of these celebrity talents are mostly
nice party tricks. Not Steve Martin’s! Unknown to most of us from his films,
Steve Martin had a whole career with the banjo earlier in life. Well, throughout his whole life,
actually. He’s a talented musician and has his own band called Steve Martin and The Steep Canyon
Rangers. He and the rangers even appeared on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series. It doesn't stop there,
either. He also had the privilege to play Foggy Mountain Breakdown with THE Earl Scruggs.
And his highest honor? He played dueling banjos with none other than Kermit the Frog himself.
