And on the dude igrets: actors-musicians
Film musicians are not uncommon in the industry. We see them on the screen in a cameo or a full-fledged, and sometimes even a leading role, and this does not surprise us at all. But to see your favorite actor on stage at the microphone or with a musical instrument in hand is a much rarer sight. Who, apart from a successful acting career, does not see his life without music?Johnny Depp Where, if not in the rock genre, can Johnny Depp realize his musical aspirations, who in real life looks like a real representative of heavy music? A full five years have passed since the founding of the Hollywood Vampires supergroup, in which Depp shares the stage with the great and terrible Alice Cooper himself and one of the greatest guitarists Joe Perry, a member of Aerosmith.  Needless to say - the trio turned out like a selection, just look at the photo, and it's immediately clear that the guys are on the same wavelength. In the group, Depp is assigned the role of both guitarist and vocalist. At first, the band recorded cover versions of world hits, but already for the second album they recorded their own songs. By the way, a couple of years ago, the musicians visited USA with concerts. Jared Leto  The case when you don't know where Jared the musician ends and the Jared movie actor begins ... Or is it the other way around? Jared Leto boasts a successful career both in the music field and in the film industry. Together with his brother Shannon, Leto performs and records albums as part of the 30 Seconds To Mars group, which once from a small project became one of the most popular groups in the alternative rock scene, and at the same time plays the roles of bright, non-trivial characters in the cinema. However, lately it is the cinematic sphere that has taken most of Jared's time, but fans hope that “Mars” will thunder on the stage more than once with new records. And the Leto brothers themselves made it clear that there was no talk of completing the group's work. Hugh Laurie  What British actor - and without musical talent? Hugh Laurie is a prime example of this. For many years of creative activity in the field of TV, cinema and theater, Lori managed to record several solo albums as part of the Band From TV project, in which the musicians play all entirely with careers on television - hence the name of the group. Lori himself sings the blues, but "Boys from TV" play cover versions of famous rock compositions, and all the funds received are sent to charity. By the way, their cover of the song `` You Can't Always Get What You Want '' The Rolling Stones, in which Laurie sings the vocal part, once appeared on the soundtrack of one of the seasons of "House". Peter Capaldi  If we are already talking about the British, then it is impossible not to recall the charismatic Scotsman Peter Capaldi, whose pompous ride in a tank with an electric guitar in his hands in one of the episodes of Doctor Who made a splash among the fans of the series: it turned out that in his youth Capaldi was a vocalist and guitar in the punk band The Dreamboys, which, by the way, included the future TV presenter and actor Craig Ferguson. Subsequently, he recalled that activity with embarrassment (“Well, what punks will be called Dreamboys?,” Capaldi asked in an interview), but it seems that the rocker essence remained with the actor forever. Throughout the ninth season of Doctor Who, the main character played by Capaldi now and then picked up a guitar, playing different motives, and the actor himself in heavy boots and several layers of T-shirts and a sweatshirt, yes with dark glasses on the nose, looked like a real rock star. From time to time, Capaldi recalls his youth and appears on stage as part of various projects or charity events. Billy Bob Thornton  The musical career of the Hollywood star began even earlier than in the cinema: in his youth, Thornton played drums in the Stone Cold Fever band, and then was a vocalist in Tres Hombres. Then the acting and writing activities captured the future Oscar winner, where Thornton achieved considerable success, but for more than ten years he has been actively performing and recording albums in the framework of the rock 'n' roll and country band The Boxmasters, which he himself created. Billy Bob Thornton is one of those actors who manages to combine both activities at once. However, Thornton himself says that music was his first love. Kevin Costner  All country in this bar! Star of "Yellowstone" and the Bodyguard of All Hollywood since 2008 has been releasing the world's finest and most classic country rock as part of the Modern West project. However, Kostner's musical ambitions began much earlier, back in the late 80s, when, in parallel with his acting career, he periodically performed with the group on stage. However, the band's first studio material, the full-length album Untold Truths, was released in 2008. From this point on, you can start counting the full-fledged musical activity of Costner, who knows a lot about country - in 2012 his group hit the 14th place on the Billboard chart in the category of best country albums. Zooey Deschanel  Perhaps the musical talents of the charming Zooey Deschanel are by no means a secret: the actress often sings in the films in which she appears. But her love for music is not limited to this - since 2008 Deschanel has been recording albums and performing at world festivals as part of the She & Him along with producer and musician Matthew Ward. The indie pop group even performed at the world famous annual Coachella festival, and Rolling Stone magazine called their version of the song `` The Christmas Waltz '' one of the best Christmas songs of all time. Ryan Gosling  This handsome Hollywood boy has been stealing girls' hearts since his breakout role in The Notebook, but did you know that Gosling is the frontman of the rock band Dead Man's Bones, whose musical theme is evil spirits and Halloween horror stories? True, the group was founded back in 2009 and managed to release only one album, but Gosling himself did not announce the termination of the group, which he founded with his friend Zach Shields. So maybe we'll still hear something from a handsome guy who gravitates towards dark themes in music. It's not all the same for us to revisit the colorful "La La Land" to enjoy its musical talents. Jack Black  In the movie, Jack Black once tried on the role of a rebel with an electric guitar in his hands in the film School of Rock, but this is not limited to Black's belonging to music. Back in 1994, this guy, together with his friend, actor Kyle Gass, founded a rather strange project Tenacious D - the so-called satirical rock group. Critics of humor did not understand and dubbed the project a vulgar and absurd mixture of music and comedy, but the audience appreciated the satirical rock songs of the strange duo, which to this day is actively recording new material and performing live.
