Actors and actresses who can sing are a double threat towards the industry given that they are able to truly play most roles in motion pictures or musicals without batting an eyelash. In some cases, actors and actresses have a background in music, and other people have discovered their singing capacity after Hollywood produced them into superstars.

Gerard Butler is amongst the most gorgeous cases of an actor, who didn't know he could sing, playing an iconic musical function. He played the lead in "The Phantom in the Opera" when it came to be a big-budget film, and his performance left music lovers absolutely stunned. Normally, he's known for roles in tough-guy motion pictures like "300" and "Attila the Hun," so this was a total turnaround from what he was employed to playing. Gerard Butler apparently had no idea that he could sing nicely enough for the function, and Andrew Lloyd Webber had him attempt out for the intensely challenging tenor part of the Phantom following just a few singing lessons.

Patrick Swayze has played Broadway roles in "Dirty Dancing," "Grease," and "Chicago," but he's most likely far better known for his acting roles in "Point Break," "The Outsiders," and "Red Dawn." He very first became recognized towards the market right after playing the role of Danny Zuko in "Grease," which was his large break.

A lot of people have been stunned during the Oscars when Hugh Jackman setup and performed a huge musical number. It wasn't a well-known fact that he could sing and dance, but this rough n' hard actor can get the job completed. Younger generations know him very best for his part as Wolverine within the "X-Men" movies, but Jackman has also appeared in musicals like "Les Misérables," "Oklahoma," and "The Boy from Oz."

Surprisingly, the well-known actress Gwyneth Paltrow is also a songbird who knows how you can belt out some nation music. In "Country Strong," Gwyneth Paltrow plays the role of a nation singer, so she's had to unveil her hidden singing talents for film audiences to hear.

Actor Jamie Foxx is identified for dramatic and comedic roles, but did anyone know he could sing? He won an Oscar for his function inside the biographical film "Ray," but music is one thing that he has a passion for. He released "Best Evening of My Life," which became a hit on the rhythm and blues charts.

Children love Anne Hathaway for getting a princess in films, and adults love her roles on "Saturday Evening Live" and in fun Disney motion pictures. Lately, she played a major role alongside Jackman in "Les Misérables" exactly where her singing capacity came towards the fore.

In a startling revelation, Johnny Depp took on a role within the musical, "Sweeney Todd" within the adaptation directed by Tim Burton. Unknown by numerous folks, Depp can actually hold a tune while staying in character. Singing together with Helena Bonham Carter, the two bring Todd and Mrs. Lovett to life on the big screen.

One of the most renowned faces of Spain, Antonio Banderas is well-known for his iconic roles. From playing the masked vigilante in "Zorro" to Puss in Boots in "Shrek," he's a name that nearly any generation will know and respect, and he also sings effectively, that is unknown to many who watch his films. He has sung alongside Sarah Brightman in "The Phantom of the Opera," and he played Ché in the musical "Evita" in 1996.

Playing roles in motion pictures like "The Village," "Ladder 49," and "Gladiator," Joaquin Phoenix is not the kind of actor that many people associate with musicals. However, he did win the Oscar for his part in "Walk the Line," in which he played the iconic singer, Johnny Cash.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have each place in time as singers. Will Smith is known for his rapping, that is a part of what brought him to Hollywood inside the first place. Jada Pinkett Smith is the lead singer from the rock band, Wicked Wisdom. Now, their small girl, Willow, has released a hit, "Whip My Hair," which peaked at 11 on the Billboard Hot one hundred. She is the younger sister to Jaden Smith, who played in "The Pursuit of Happiness" with his father, and in 2012, he released his initial album, "The Cool Café."
