every day so be sure to subscribe for more great content for this list we're looking at celebrities who you wouldn't necessarily think would have a solid sense of rhythm and yet actually really do know how to cut a rug number 10 Christian Bale [Music] in cinema this man is mostly known as a serious method actor a thesbian dedicated to the craft that's what makes Christian Bale so valuable to directors but that's not to say he can't let loose to as evidenced by his dancing character from the 1993 film swing kids [Applause] [Music] then there's a 2,000 cult classic American Psycho in which Bale plays a serial killer with a fondness for mainstream music he's been compared to Elvis Costello but I think Huey has a far more bitter cynical sense of humor and one particularly disturbing yet memorable scene at peppy dance sequence is part of the strategy and the performance is so effective that a doomed guest feels at home right until the end songs so catchy number 9 Paul bride I'm Dane your latest dancer I can't wait to entertain you now 10 I can get into over the years this American actor has evolved into the prototypical nice guy of Hollywood film and among his many endearing qualities as a penchant and natural ability for dancing [Applause] showing off his moves when the role calls for it as scene an I could never be a woman and when it doesn't has revealed in these hilarious ant-man bloopers he's developed quite the dancing rep but has shared his toe-tapping abilities time and time again on talk shows mixing craft and technique with distinct comedic style he just may seem like the party guy that tries to dance but when you look past the silly facial expressions he's actually quite proficient on a fundamental level [Applause] [Music] number eight Chris Messina [Music] with an acting career that began off-broadway and experienced in the dance world this man entered the film industry with a special set of skills but it was on the Mindy project that Chris Messina really showed us all what he could really do on a dance floor as Danny Castellano he turned heads with a passionate American woman performance and he's proven himself to be quite the club dancer as well [Applause] there's nothing goofy going on here just a man who commits to the grind like the aforementioned Paul Rudd it's the nice guy factor that allows Messina to get away with a little more in terms of moves than your average male actor member 7 Sam Rockwell [Applause] in this man's vast filmography there's no definitive dancing moment that's because Sam Rockwell seemingly finds excuses to dance often and with good reason the smooth operator knows that he's got skills and there's an old-school mentality that drives each performance [Music] in fact he's got a little bit of James Brown style going on as he's mostly about hand movements and quick feet rockwell makes it look easy but when you pay attention you'll see it's anything but that then again when you have a so-called Footloose upbringing as rockwell has previously cited dancing just becomes natural number six Alfonso Ribeiro on the NBC series of Fresh Prince of bel-air this New York native played opposite a young Will Smith over the course of the series Alfonso Ribeiro famously performed the Carlton dance in numerous episodes thus establishing a cultural legacy of Kathy moves [Music] but when Ribeiro competed on ABC's Dancing with the Stars in 2014 and one he showed that he's more than just a comedic performer week after week Ribeiro displayed his expertise and versatility by racking up eights nines and tens throughout the competition [Music] [Applause] in fact he received all tens with partner Whitney Carson in the finals and so Ribeiro essentially dropped the mic and set a new bar for future dancing celebrities is over [Applause] number five Christopher Walken given this man's cinematic legacy and unique manner of speech he's become a favorite subject for both amateur and professional impersonators in 2001 though Walken achieved a new level of Fame as his dancing acumen was featured in a Fatboy Slim's weapon of choice music video with a background in theater Walkmans seem more than comfortable shuffling around and it's that kind of dancing bravado that made him an ideal casting choice for the 2007 film hairspray while some older gentlemen look awkward when dancing Christopher Walken loses confidence and style number 4 Joseph gordon-levitt [Music] as a child actor turn a Lister this man has long been in the public eye before Joseph gordon-levitt's career began however he developed his performance skills in musical theater so after a big transition into movies Gordon Levitt's dancing skills came in handy for a choreographed dance sequence in the 2009 film 500 days of summer [Music] [Applause] impressive as that may be he upped the ante in 2015 with his Janet Jackson interpretation on lip sync battle he's even taken his talents to Saturday Night Live this guy loves to boogie and it shows number three then diesel but the real reason I started bouncing was because I loved to dance as one of the more iconic 21st century action stars this big-screen tough-guy is anything but one-dimensional like so many actors mark Sinclair aka Vin Diesel began on the stage long before he crossed over into mainstream cinema in recent years we've even seen old school clips of him breakdancing in New York City nothing extraordinary but very entertaining in 2014 however then shocked and amazed fans with videos of him dancing to both Beyonce's drunken love and Katy Perry's Dark Horse it's not often you'll see a rough and tough movie stars shaking his hips but that's obviously not an issue for big VIN number two donald faison deck the halls with while this man isn't necessarily a household name he's one of the more popular television stars of his generation donald faison starred in over 170 episodes of the comedy-drama series scrubs in the role of turk and during an unforgettable 2006 episode showed off some seriously unforgettable moves with his smooth performance of Bell Biv Devoe's poison faizon's confident fun-loving technique had pop culture buzzing and so the moment became an instant series classic a moment that Donald Faison would later revisit on the Queen Latifah show before we unveil our top pick here are a few honorable mentions [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] number one Tom Hiddleston in the 2000s this British actor was a West End regular but the man was destined for success beyond the stage when Tom Hiddleston joined the Marvel family in 2011 the public began paying even more attention to this multi-talented individual what more than that over the years he's more than once displayed his precise dance moves in the middle of interviews making him one of the more endearing a listers of his time Hiddleston's relationship with taylor swift brought even more attention to his dancing abilities when he worked it out with a pop star at the 2016 Met Gala surprising Swifties and the entire world in the process do you agree with our picks check out these other great clips from Ms mojo and subscribe
