Multi-talented Showcase

To possess true talent in more than one area is such a rarity nowadays. Of course there are a vast amount of celebrities that have 'raw talent' but they tend to only really specialise in that one area. With reality television surging in popularity, despite the enjoyment some receive from watching somebody crash and burn, we genuinely love raw talent and those select few that dazzle us with several tricks! Here are some truly ‘Multi-talented’ celebrities, who excel in more than one area and have gained deserved credibility for each.

Now famously starring in the hit TV show ‘Glee’, Morrison is the teacher we all wished we’d had. With his previous roles on multiple Broadway shows, such as Link Larkin in Hairspray and appearing in Footloose, Matthew really strived after dropping out of The New York School of Arts! With an exceptional voice, smooth dancing and luring acting skills – he ultimately gained one of the lead roles in Glee where he has won both an Emmy and a Golden Globe.

Johnny Depp captures attention whereever he goes. Despite pushing fifty, he still oozes talent which has served an outstanding career; a career that will almost certainly continue. An actor, director and musician - not to mention a notable sex symbol! Johnny, most known for his unconventional acting roles, has played slide guitar on the Oasis song "Fade In-Out" and even performed live with good friend Marilyn Manson in the Revolver Golden Gods Awards 2012. He was also a member of 'P', a group featuring Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones and Butthole Surfers singer Gibby Haynes.

Alas! A talented and naturally beautiful woman leaped out of one of the very first Reality TV shows. After leaving the not so successful ‘Hear Say’, Myleene found her feet in presenting, singing and occasionally modelling. However her most well-known asset – not what you think guys! – Is her wondrous classical music gift. Fluent on piano, harp and violin and appearing on the west-end in Miss Saigon.

Alesha Dixon

Yet again, a beautiful woman once in a fairly successful girl group ‘Miss-Teeq’ has now become a solo success. With singles and an album making it to the Top Ten and a surprisingly incredible rapping ability, Dixon has a stage presence and energy that lures an audience. The shock came on the hit TV show Strictly Come Dancing which saw her lift the trophy, not only did the trophy elevate; but her dancing career then took off! A raw gift as a dancer, determination and a hard-working grit saw her proudly take a seat on the judging panel the following year!

Robert Pattinson

Not only one of the most desirable men on the planet, but possibly one of the most talented. His acting abilities and impeccable diversity allows him to tackle any role convincingly. Pattinson also holds a very unique and distinct singing voice, featured on the Twilight soundtracks, his quirky voice and clever lyrics add to his profile!

Hugh Laurie

Hugh Laurie is far from just an actor, he is also a musician, author, voice artist, recording artist, director, songwriter and comedian. His musical talents are not limited to any one instrument, he plays the piano, guitar, drums, harmonica and saxophone too. Adding a string to the bow just got a bit old for Hugh! His talents have seen him receive the ‘most watched leading man on television’ and has been listed in the Guiness book of World Records as the highest paid actor ever in a TV drama!
