Today in that tough and sometimes narcissistic world of celebrity, some claim there’s a lack of "real" talent at the top. And while it’s true there are celebrities out there with little claim to anything particularly special (The Kardashians), there’s also a wealth of all-singing, all-dancing multi-talent powerhouses out there. Let’s take a look at some of the cream of the crop celebrities that grace us with their presence on their cable TV deals, movies, and other performances.
Hugh Jackman
He’s a famous Australian actor and producer known for his roles in Van Helsing, The Prestige and Wolverine.
But he’s also an immense singing talent which is demonstrated in Les Miserables. In fact, he also dances, and has been highly praised for his performances in stage musicals. Jackman has received several awards including an Emmy, a Saturn awards and a Tony award. He’s also an Oscar-nominated actor and has a Star on the Walk of Fame.
Amanda Seyfried
Amanda first shot to fame in the movie Mean Girls but later became well-known for her role in Mamma Mia, where she starred alongside Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan.
Since then she’s starred in a few more big titles such as In Time with Justin Timberlake, and Les Miserables with Hugh Jackman, and a few others listed celebrities that grace us with their presence on their cable TV deals, performances and movies.
Russell Crowe
Crowe is an Austrlian-born actor, producer and musician.
He’s also getting into directing, and has starred in movies such as Gladiator, Cinderella Man, American Gangster and A Beautiful Mind, the last of which won him several awards including a BAFTA and a Golden Globe.
Lady Gaga
It would be so easy to carry on naming the cast of Les Miserables, so let’s move onto something entirely different; and Lady Gaga is definitely different.
Her real name is Stefani Joanna Angelina Germanotta and she’s a singer, songwriter, dancer and even fashion designer. She’s known for her wacky dress sense and once famously wore a dress made purely out of meat. She’s also got her own perfume and has wiped the floor with many other musicians at various awards ceremonies.
Channing Tatum
Tatum is an American-born actor and producer, but that’s not all he can do – has anyone seen Magic Mike?
His dancing is impressive to say the least. He’s a multi-award winning talent that any movie would be lucky to have. Even more surprisingly, this young star began his career as a fashion model, so that’s yet another string he can add to his bow.
Zac Efron
This young star is an American actor and singer who shot to fame in High School Musical.
Although he’s not been in the game as long as some of the talent on this list, he’s also won his fair share of awards and has actually been acting since he was just 11 years old.
Dame Judi Dench
One of the best in the business, Dame Judi has had more award-winning roles than you can shake a stick at and has worked for film, theatre, television and can most definitely sing – is there anything she can’t do?
So, there we have it. These incredibly talented celebs prove that there’s still much to admire in Hollywood and on the stage. Many of the famous performers mentioned above have won awards for their talents and are recognized worldwide for their contributions to the arts and entertainment world
