Ewan McGregor did an amazing job singing in Moulin Rouge ❤

Ewan McGregor blew me away in Moulin Rouge, the tone of his voice is so crisp and clear. I became a bit obsessed with his cover of My Song after seeing the film cause I love the way his voice sounds in it. I was 11 when the movie came out but didn’t see it until I was 13 and I didn’t know it was a cover of Elton John’s song at the time 🫣 only found out cause my dad heard me listening to it and he started singing along to it too and I was like, “how do you know this??” and he told me it was originally by Elton John 😅

To go with number 1, I was surprised at John C. Reilly when he sang Mr. Cellophane in Chicago. Yes, I know he sang in Walk Hard, but Chicago came out 5 years before that. Just surprised he didn't make the list, even at the low end.

What about Renee Zellweger and Nicole Kidman?

For those who do not know, "Postcards From The Edge" is based on the book of the same name written by the late great Carrie Fisher!

Sissy Spacek in Coal Miner's Daughter...who knew that Carrie could sing like that?

yes, several I can name. First of all, Johnny Depp in ''Sweeney Todd,'' ringing in his fantastic singing talent and of course guitar skills, still active today in his band Hollywood Vampires and of course with the wonderful late Jeff Beck on their joint 2022 tour across Europe and US. Then Jensen Ackles, having released to this day 2 albums together with Steve Carlson under the band name Radio Company. During conventions he regularly delights audiences with his cover songs, delicious! Furthermore Robert Downey jr, who also released a delightful album ''The Futurist,'' and also sang in other movies. Not to forget Kevin Costner, and Bruce Willis, both touring extendedly with their bands respectively. Those 5 with a tremendous singing talent, paired with musical instrumental skills are my personal Top 5. Excellent!

1970's Jim Nabors aka Gomer Pyle had an amazing voice

And Robin Williams , we only knew him as Comedian since Mork and Mindy, the singing in Aladdin was a shocking performance

Before I saw Pitch Perfect, I had only seen Anna Kendrick in Up in the Air and Scott Pilgrim. When she sang Cups, I was blown away.

Meryl Streep is a ridiculously good actress and a ridiculously talented singer with a strong, powerful voice! Such a multi talented queen!

Ewan McGregor has such a beautiful and powerful voice so it’s crazy to me that there was a time when people didn’t know he was such a good singer

Zachary Levi in Tangled. Incredible voice!

You missed out Matt Bomer, Michael C Hall, Zachary Levi, Jensen Ackles, Jake Gyllenhaal, Seth MacFarlane and Eric McCormack in this list

I saw Ewan McGregor on stage as sky masterson in guys and dolls and 2005. Absolutely phenomenal!!!!! He’s a total star.

Glenn Close is a lyrical soprano. You can see it in Meeting Venus (1991). David Carradine was a songwriter, recorded albums, and played his own versions of Woody Guthrie's songs in the biopic Bound For Glory (1976).

Bruce Willis in "Moonlighting ", and Sissy SpaceX in "Coal Miner's Daughter ". ❤❤❤

Ryan Gosling - the live Oscars performance was WOW Zendaya - I did not know she could sing until TGS because I never watched her on Disney. The Cast of Buffy Jensen Ackles Nicole Kidman Chris Hemsworth

Here's a few others I can think of where actors were actually great singers: .Jason Segel in The Muppets (2011) (he really brought comedy when he co-sang "LIfe's A Happy Song" with Amy Adams and Walter, but he brought emotion to the Oscar-winning song "Man or Muppet" along with Walter) .Robin Williams in Aladdin (1992) (he must've sang in movies before Aladdin, but he really brought different music chops to Friend Like Me, and Prince Ali) .Angela Lansbury in Beauty and the Beast (1991) (We've heard Lansbury singing on films, TV, and Broadway before but she really killed Mrs Potts singing the title song of Beauty and the Beast) .John C. Reilly in Chicago (2002) .Austin Butler in Elvis (2022)
