Top 10 Celebs You Didn't Know Have Hidden Talents
#10: Jessie J Sings With Her Mouth Closed
Let’s start off with something we all wanted to try after seeing Jessie J do it. Yep, you heard that right - Jessie J can sing with her mouth closed and she’s pretty good at it. So good, in fact, she could probably do that on stage and it’d be totally fine. Go on, try it. Close your mouth and try to sing. It’s pretty hard, isn’t it? But Jessie J makes it look absolutely effortless! While there are many skilled ventriloquists out there, it doesn’t make this talent any less fascinating to see every single time. Be bright back, learning how to do this properly.
#9: Justin Bieber Can Solve a Rubik's Cube
Justin isn’t just good at singing, he can also solve a Rubik’s cube. No, seriously. He was actually asked to do it in plenty of interviews so if you need footage to prove it, we got it! His time to solve the cube is under two minutes, which is pretty impressive considering some of us have been keeping a cube in our attics for years without bothering to figure it out. Of course, Justin’s time to solve the cube still can’t compete with the record-breaking 3.47 seconds, but it’s still pretty impressive. It’s a cool party trick, isn’t it?
#8: Mark Ruffalo Can Ride a Unicycle
In 2014, Mark Ruffalo surprised everyone when he revealed a true hidden talent: riding the unicycle. And he did so on “The Graham Norton Show.” This talent of his was actually so hidden he hasn’t done it in almost 25 years! But as it turns out, riding the unicycle is like riding a bike - you never forget it. Even so, Mark had a few doubts before hopping on. But he did actually manage to ride a unicycle. And not just one unicycle - he then rode an even bigger one! We’re not sure what’s more impressive - learning to ride a unicycle or remembering how to ride it after 25 years!
#7: Ariana Grande Can Cry & Laugh Like a Baby
Okay, let’s be honest - Ariana Grande has plenty of talents. Number one, she’s hiding such a big voice in such a tiny body. Number two, her whistle tones come only second to the one and only Mariah Carey. And number three, she makes bops after bops. We often see Ariana’s goofy side but have you ever seen her laugh and cry like a baby? Her acting skills are honestly pretty impressive - no wonder her Cat Valentine character was so popular! Hands up if you just tried to imitate a baby crying to see if you can do it just like Ari!
#6: Daniel Radcliffe Can Rap
Wizards can do anything but no one expected Daniel to rap, not even Jimmy Fallon. It’s like someone put a spell on him! His version of Blackalicious’s track ‘Alphabet Aerobics’ was so impressive it was seen by more than 100 million people. The moment went insanely viral, making everyone want to learn the words. And he proved he’s not a one hit rapping wonder - he was also spotted rapping “The Real Slim Shady” by Eminem at a karaoke night. Maybe Hogwarts had an extracurricular activity that involved learning how to rap?!
#5: Margot Robbie Tattoos People
Margot had an interesting hobby while on the set of “Suicide Squad.” Instead of doing the usual things like reading books, doodling, or doing something else to occupy her time, she decided to tattoo her crewmates. She used her own tattoo gun that she bought on eBay. However, she doesn’t exactly describe herself as a good tattoo artist. When tattooing a cast assistant on “Suicide Squad”, she meant to write the word “SKWAD”, spelled S-K-W-A-D, but missed the letter K … so now it just says SWAD. After one too many mishaps, she’s hung up her tattoo gun, at least for now.
#4: Angelina Jolie Can Throw Knives
Angelina Jolie has an unusual hobby - she collects daggers. She got her first one at the tender age of 11. But not only does she collect them, she also throws them. Don’t worry, these two passions didn’t arise at the same time. She had to learn how to throw knives on the set of “Tomb Raider.” You can also see her throw a knife in the popular “Mr & Mrs Smith” scene. And that’s not all Angie can do with a knife - she also showed off her butterfly knife tricks to Conan O’Brien and they’re pretty impressive! Note taken: never mess with Angelina Jolie.
#3: Billie Eilish Can Draw
Billie Eilish is one talented lady. She was able to capture the hearts of millions around the world with her music and is on her way to become a music icon. She expresses herself through music, but that’s not the only talent she has. She posted a sample of her drawings on Instagram back in 2020 and was praised for her hidden skill. They were actually the drawings she was proud of the most, requested by a fan. And, to be honest, they’re not bad! Billie, please show us more!
#2: Rebel Wilson Can Use Nunchucks
When Rebel Wilson showed up for her first meeting with the “Kung Fu Panda 3” directors, she brought out her pink-padded nunchucks and impressed them with her skills - which is pretty odd considering no one asked her to do it and it would never be seen on camera. The directors were absolutely floored though - in the best way possible. She showed her nunchuck ninja skills again on the “Graham Norton Show” and they’re pretty awesome. And no, her nunchucks weren’t the reason why she eventually lost the role - she was allegedly too divisive for a family movie.
Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
Pierce Brosnan Can Firebreath
Elliot Page Can Juggle
Vanilla Ice Is a Jet Ski Pro
Jennifer Garner Is a Clogger
#1: Terry Crews Plays the Flute
Okay let’s be honest, this is one of the most unusual combos we’ve ever heard of. Terry Crews… and… flutes?! He received the flute as a Christmas gift from a great aunt and then proceeded to play it for seven or eight years. That’s pretty impressive! Not only did he show off his skills on “America’s Got Talent,” but he admitted that he played the flute a bit too much during the Covid quarantine. So much so, his wife became fairly unamused and got bored of it! Something tells us we could never get bored of seeing Terry dominate the flute though.
