These celebrities have known talents and skills that considerably made them popular – and rich. Neil Patrick Harris, for example, is a one-man show. He’s like a superhero that we are still not sure what all the powers he possesses. However, we know that he’s a triple threat. The actor can sing, act, and dance. Likewise, Beyonce’s a total performer. She can simultaneously sing and even hit those high notes while performing breathtaking moves. I wonder if there will be someone like her in the future — maybe not.
We may know many things about these celebrities and even their investments sometimes, but in this list, we will unravel skills and talents that you still might not know about them. We guess after you read the entirety of this article, it might change how you perceive them. Dascha Polanco is an exceptional actress in Orange Is the New Black, but she revealed something that might surprise you. Without further ado, here is the list of celebrities and their unknown talents.
Margot Robbie
We know Margot Robbie as the baddest female lead in DC’s Suicide Squad. While shooting, Margot showed her hidden but exceptional talent – tattooing! The Harley Quinn actress reportedly inked 100 tattoos. Well, these tatts probably symbolize the friendship and the crew members formed while filming. In case you’re wondering, the film performs in theaters. According to The Numbers, Suicide Squad, released on August 5, 2016, has accumulated a worldwide gross of over $746 million, 4.3 times the production budget of $175 million. Because of the success of the DC film, Warner Bros. cast her again for the 2020 movie called Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn).
Margot Elise Robbie was born in Dalby, Queensland, on July 2, 1990. Yes, if you’re unaware, she’s an Australian who made it big in the US. Aside from appearing in the DCEU, she also has credits in various films like The Legend of Tarzan and The Wolf of Wall Street, alongside Academy award-winning actor Leonard DeCaprio.
Angelina Jolie
This extraordinary actress has done so much that made us fall in love with her. Through her humanitarian works, an extraordinary mother to her six children, and of course, her big-screen appearances. However, there are things that we have yet to learn about her. One of these is that she can throw knives! That’s quite dangerous, don’t you think? Well, maybe she can play with them as if they were darts. According to BestLife, she became a master knife thrower when she was on the set of her film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.

Geena Davis
If the former can throw knives, this well-established actress used to shoot arrows! In 1999, she reportedly made it to the US Olympic semifinals for the famous sport of archery. She might not have been qualified to play in the 2000 Summer Olympics, since she was placed 24th out of 300 players. Not too shabby, isn’t it? Well, maybe sports is not for her— but showbiz is. Prior to this, she was already an Academy award-winning actress after she won Best Supporting Actress for her acting credits in the 1988 movie The Accidental Tourist.

Mike Tyson
We know him as a boxing legend, but his chosen pets are somehow peculiar. Aside from once owning three Bengal tigers, he also used to pigeon race. To explain it briefly, owners will raise these types of birds, specifically the domestic ones. Once they are fully grown, they will be released 100 miles away from their home cages. Their return to their homes will be timed if they manage to. According to Mike, his admiration for pigeons has been around since childhood.

Mark Ruffalo
In 2014, he made an appearance in The Graham Norton Show and showed his unicycling skills. He also stated that he hadn’t ridden one in 25 years.

Mark Alan Ruffalo was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on November 22, 1957. While honing his acting skills at Stella Adler Conservatory, he co-founded the Orpheus Theater Company, where he started directing and writing plays. He might have had his own struggles to break into show business, but he still made it by his investment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Dr. Bruce Banner or The Hulk. In case you didn’t know, the green giant is one of the six original members of the Avengers.
Jack White
According to Celebrity Net Worth, White is a multi-instrumentalist, meaning he could play more than one instrument. Not surprising, right? However, his hidden talent is not with the use of musical instruments but by maneuvering a sewing machine. BestLife stated that he established Third Man Upholstery and even received work to reupholster Sam Phillips Recoding’s couch, located in Memphis, Tennessee. Well, a hobby turned into a full-time job, why not? This business of his might contributes a significant portion to his fortune, amounting to $50 million.
John Anthony Gillis is a musician, singer-songwriter, and producer who was born on July 9, 1975, in Detroit, Michigan.

He usually gets the credit for reviving garage rock in the 2000s.
Pierce Brosnan
During his prime, Pierce Brosnan was the symbol of masculinity. He had the good looks, the swag, and the European accent women fall head over heels for. I mean, after all, he was James Bond. He portrayed the slick double-o-seven spy for over seven years, spanning five-film franchise releases. Moreover, he had the degree of acting talents to star in a wide variety of film genres— from musicals to dark comedies and even political thrillers. However, the icing on the Brosnan cake is his hidden talent of fire-eating.
During the late-’60s, the young Brosnan attended a fire-eating clinic. Though the act itself wasn’t intriguing enough for him, the topless women performers took his attention. And who could blame him? He gave it a shot, and although he no longer practices the dangerous feat, the talent remains amongst his arsenal.

As you may know, apart from his talented singing abilities, Bieber also plays the drums. Surely not much of a surprise, given his capabilities as an overall musician. However, did you know that he is also good with Rubik’s Cube? A far-stretch it may be from music talents, he has a reasonable two-minute solving time, recorded on live TV. Surely he has gone a lot faster after all these years.

As for Queen B herself, she rose to stardom as the main vocalist of Destiny’s Child, one of the best-selling girl groups of all time, in the late 1990s. During their sabbatical, she released her debut solo album, Dangerously in Love, which included the number-one singles Crazy in Love and Baby Boy on the US Billboard Hot 100.

However, as he is reportedly proficient with it, reportedly winning several awards throughout the years as a result.

She began to take interest in it when a fan of hers sent a tooth via mail. She has crafted a bra, necklaces, and earrings out of teeth, which is quite a neat investment for her. While it might sound quite creepy, her endeavor was positively received. However, the treatment center she was in at the time put an end to her crafting.
It wasn’t the first time she did this, though. In 2012, she asked her fans to send their teeth. Many of them obliged, with Kesha receiving over 1,000 teeth. Aside from crafting, she has also been known to be good at juggling.
Iggy Azalea
Singer Iggy Azalea is perhaps best known for her songs Fancy, Work, and Problem. Aside from her singing career, she has also delved into other skills and activities that many might not know about.

IKEA’s furniture is bought to be assembled like a LEGO set. The furniture has been notorious for its difficulty and lack of clear instructions on how to put the pieces together. To even just assemble them, albeit with difficulty, is already an achievement in and of itself. Williams must have surely made a serious investment in understanding the strange and often unclear instructions found in every IKEA furniture manual.

Billionaire socialite Kim Kardashian is one of the most influential personalities in the world. Earlier this year, her net worth finally reached $1 billion, which probably means that she has investment properties all over the world. She is widely popular for her reality television show with her family, Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Moreover, her cosmetics brand also brought so much success in her career after launching it in June 2017. Her beauty line called KKW Beauty has brought her so much fortune.
Despite the fact that she is reasonably wealthy, it turns out Kardashian has some hidden talents you never thought she has. Did you know she can “smell” cavities? In fact, she has never been wrong about it. Your teeth ought to be squeaky clean when you meet up with this talented celebrity. This is probably the strangest hidden talent out there.
Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez seems to be one of the most prim and proper celebrities you will ever bump into in Hollywood. She may be a woman with many talents, from being a singer-songwriter to being an actress, but she also has a couple of talents that are extraordinary. In fact, one of them is really weird. It turns out this star has a go-to party trick that can be considered a little too gross for some people.
During an interview, Gomez revealed that she can spit her gum straight up in the air and catch it with her mouth again. She even has a gum-catch record: the singer was once able to catch the gum in her mouth 32 times in a row. If you want to see her in action, all you have to do is look it up on the internet. We ought to give credit to YouTube for that!
Gigi Hadid
Gigi Hadid is among the most prominent personalities in Hollywood. This sought-after model made her debut in the modeling industry back in 2014 when she made her way to the Top 50 Models ranking at Models.com. As of 2021, she is now a happy mom to her daughter Khai with her long-time boyfriend, Zayn Malik.

However, it was discovered that Gigi is more than just a pretty face. It turns out this model can sing. It was found that she was a backup singer for the 2007 album of artist Josh Groban. It may have been because her mom, Yolanda, was still married to David Foster, Josh’s producer. Either way, her voice is truly breathtaking.
Camila Cabello
Cuban-American beauty Camila Cabello is one of the most successful singer-songwriters in the world today. She started gaining credit after she rose to stardom as a member of the girl group Fifth Harmony.

Camilla has won plenty of accolades, including five American Music Awards. Like every single celebrity out there, Camila has some hidden talents she is yet to showcase. Some of which are a little bizarre. Who knew she has the unique ability to roll her “R’s” and fold her tongue into the shape of a scallop. Moreover, Camila is also into spoken word poetry.

And in an interview Zendaya did with Vanity Fair, the actress shows off another talent, apart from singing and acting. She has the weird ability to eat ice cream with her teeth. Zendaya must have an exceptional dentist, considering she has no teeth sensitivity issues.

And since then, she has won nine Grammy Awards, 12 Billboard Music Awards, and 13 American Music Awards, among many others.
Given Rihanna’s astronomical success with her music, it comes to no surprise that numerous entertainment outlets follow her every move. And in one instance, they might have just revealed one of the pop star’s hidden talents. She can walk over water drains in her stilettos. Honestly, this is a feat that a few women can boast of ever doing. The water drains are even more significant than the heels of her stilettos.
Niall Horan
Niall Horan is a famous Irish musician. He was a member of One Direction, one of the biggest boy bands the world has ever seen. They came to a degree of worldwide prominence following their UK talent show The X Factor in 2010. And ever since the One Direction has disbanded, he has flourished with his solo act.

In Sheeran’s appearance on this program, Cordon displayed one of his uncanny talents. He can fit 55 Maltesers in his mouth.
Cara Delevingne
Cara Delevigne is one of the famous stars in Hollywood. She began her rise to fame as a model. Cara took up modeling gigs in the UK at a young age and would eventually model brands such as Burberry, Chanel, and Victoria’s Secret. She describes modeling as “easy” in her own words, so she slowly transitioned away from that career to find better challenges. Soon, she branched out to acting and starved in credit films such as Suicide Squad, Paper Towns, and Her Smell.
In the film Her Smell, Cara displayed her latent musical talents. Although she played as a drummer in the movie, Cara is a talented guitar player. Moreover, in an interview Delevingne did with Vanity Fair, the model displayed her prowess in beatboxing. Indeed, if Cara finds acting less challenging in the future, maybe she can try her hand in the music industry and release an album to have her guitar skills and beatboxing on full display.
Daniel Radcliffe
As they say, you shouldn’t always pass judgment quickly. Daniel Radcliffe may come off a degree timid and introverted, but you’d be surprised by the tricks he’s hiding up his sleeves. We already know that he is a talented singer and dancer, as proven by his Broadway performances. There’s also the fact that Radcliffe is capable of walking an entire dog pack through the busy streets of NYC without so much as breaking a sweat. But did you know that he has incredible memorization skills and an equally impressive rapping talent to boot?
It’s one thing to try and rap “Alphabet Aerobics” in your bedroom, but try doing that in front of a live audience. What about in front of Colin Farrell and Rihanna? Well, that is precisely what Daniel Radcliffe did, and he managed to pull it off flawlessly!
Rebel Wilson
During a meeting for the film Kung Fu Panda 3, actress Rebel Wilson was so excited about the opportunity that she whipped out a set of nunchucks during the session! Now, if you think that she did it for laughs—you’re sorely mistaken. One of Wilson’s hidden talents is her ability to use the weapon. According to director Jennifer Yuh Nelson, the actress brought a set of pink padded nunchucks and proceeded to show what she can do with them.
Funnily enough, Wilson’s role in the film is an animated one, so she’ll never get to show off her skills onscreen. It is important to remember that Wilson is trained when it comes to using nunchucks. She has hit herself a few times on the head while trying to get it right. She deserves credit for staying dedicated to learning! Props to the actress for staying strong despite adversity.
Dakota Johnson
Actress Dakota Johnson proves that anything can be a talent as long as you do it right. The Suspiria star once revealed that she could fit several different items in the gap between her teeth. More importantly, it includes things you probably shouldn’t be putting anywhere near your mouth! If you thought she was joking about this one, a simple Google search would show you just how many attempts Johnson has made for the fun of it.
During one appearance on Vanity Fair’s Secret Talent Theatre segment, the actress tried on various things to see which ones would fit in her tooth gap. Among the things she has successfully placed between her teeth are playing cards, $1000 in cash, toothpicks, and even credit cards. We sure hope she has excellent dental insurance considering the crazy assortment of items she has tried!
Dr. Phil McGraw
Most of us are familiar with Dr. Phil McGraw, host of his namesake show, where he spends every episode trying to help guests in various ways. The advice he dishes out helped get his program to the top and made him a household name in the process. Everyone knows Phil McGraw is a no-nonsense man who makes intelligent decisions when it comes to problem-solving. With that in mind, it might surprise several people to learn that one of his hidden talents is riding dirt bikes!
Sure, many others can do the same thing. However, not everyone can pull off a long wheelie while riding one. More importantly, McGraw even had to cancel an appearance on The Late Late Show after one of his attempts sent him to the hospital. Considering the dangers, we sure hope he has proper insurance coverage.
Sandra Bullock
Sandra Bullock can leave us in stitches due to her comedic timing or break our hearts-whenever she delivers emotional performances. She is one of Hollywood’s most versatile talents, whose incredible acting skills have led her to the top. However, Bullock has other talents that people are often surprised by! During a feature on The Jonathan Ross Show, Bullock revealed that she and George Clooney spent their free time practicing the song “Rapper’s Delight.” Moreover, the actress has delighted and surprised people, especially after rapping on the spot and proving she knew every word of the song!
If you think that’s not enough to earn her credit, consider that the actress can also speak both Deutsch and English. During the 2012 Oscars, she fluently switched between both languages while speaking and left most of the guests quite impressed. Finally, Bullock is considered one of the most beautiful women on Earth.
Creed Bratton
Ask any fan of The Office, and they will tell you that Creed Bratton is one of the funniest people on the show. So what makes Bratton stand out? Perhaps it is his hilarious one-liners and the inimitable way he delivers each one. There’s also the fact that he is a “man of mystery,” whose bizarre behavior will leave you scratching your head after. More importantly, Bratton is recognized worldwide for his talent and prowess on the screen.
The character is loosely based on the actor who portrays him—Creed Bratton himself. Much like his onscreen persona, he has lived quite a colorful yet wholly enigmatic life. For example, his hidden “talent” is that he is a talented musician—a bonafide rockstar. During the sixties, he traveled Europe, the Middle East, and Africa as a professional musician! He won’t be running out of gas anytime soon, considering he’s still active in the industry.
James McAvoy
He may only be in his forties, but actor James McAvoy has been in the industry for almost half his life. His varied roles in The, The Witch, The Wardrobe, Atonement, X-Men, and Split show just how talented and versatile he can be. Moreover, it is impressive enough by itself, but you might be surprised at what other skills he has yet to show.
For example, the Scottish actor once had to learn how to unicycle for a film role. Now, unlike your average bike, the mere act of balancing on a unicycle requires a degree of skill that not everyone has. McAvoy did manage to learn how to do it, though he is far from being an expert. He showed off his skills on the Graham Norton Show, and following a shaky start, he was able to put on quite the act!
