Actors Who Are Singers (and Vice Versa!)

Hollywood’s talent pool runs deep, and sometimes, it’s got a killer soundtrack too. While some celebs are known for their blockbuster roles, others surprise us by stepping up to the mic and owning it. From Broadway to Billboard, these actors who are singers have proven they can rule both worlds.

1. Hugh Jackman 

Sure, Wolverine could slice through steel, but Hugh Jackman can also melt hearts with a ballad. From Les Misérables to The Greatest Showman, he’s got more range than your Bluetooth speaker.

2. Zendaya

Before slaying red carpets and Euphoria monologues, Zendaya was making hits like “Replay.” She’s proof that talent doesn’t stick to just one lane.

3. Lady Gaga 

Okay, she’s a Grammy winner first, but A Star Is Born proved Lady Gaga can act with the same passion she sings with — and snag an Oscar along the way.

4. Jared Leto 

When Jared Leto’s not making you rethink your sanity in Suicide Squad, he’s fronting Thirty Seconds to Mars, belting arena anthems like it’s a full-time job (because… it is).

5. Hailee Steinfeld

An Oscar nominee at 14 (True Grit) and a pop sensation with hits like “Starving” — Hailee’s living proof that you can be a double threat before 30.

6. Will Smith

From Grammy-winning rap tracks like “Summertime” to blockbuster hits (Men in Black), Will Smith is Hollywood’s original music-acting hybrid.

7. Jamie Foxx

Jamie Foxx has an Oscar for Ray, but his silky vocals on songs like “Blame It” remind us he’s as much a musician as an actor.

8. Donald Glover

Award-winning actor. Emmy-winning writer. Grammy-winning artist. Donald Glover doesn’t just dabble in music — “This Is America” made history.

9. Miley Cyrus

She started on TV, but Miley’s powerhouse voice (Wrecking Ball, Flowers) has made her a music icon in her own right.

10. Zooey Deschanel

You know her from New Girl, but Zooey also tours with She & Him, making dreamy folk-pop that sounds like a warm cup of tea on a Sunday.
