Top 30 Moments We Found Out An Actor Was a Great Dancer

[Applause] welcome to Miz Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the moments when actors grabbed our attention with their dance skills and let us know they had the moves or do you feel unequal to the task no on the contrary D Alandra I think only of your distaste for persperation number 30 Tom Heston the Met Gala 2016 maybe you took the thing could we dance yep Loki can dance Tom Heston came to the world's attention as the aforementioned god of Mischief in 2011's Thor and has continued to rock the character in movies and television shows ever since Loki this is madness is it Madness is it is it so where does the dancing come in you ask well you might remember that back in 2016 Heston had a brief romantic relation ation ship with one Taylor Swift and that year they were also each other's plus one at the prestigious Met Gala which is where this video of them burning up the Dance Floor was taken a couple of years later Heston proved the Met Gala was not a fluke and showed off even more moves on the Allen car chadman [Applause] show I can't I number 29 mahay From Dusk Till Dawn bow your head kneel and worship at the feet of Santano Pon in 1997 Salma hyek grabbed Matthew Perry's attention with her solo salsa dancing in the kitchen but it was in the previous year that she let us all know she could dance the movie was From Dusk Till Dawn and the scene is Hayek's now iconic slow Groove with a large albino burmes python her eyes the Distant Fire Burns bright wondering why it's only after Hayek who had a very strong fear of snakes at the time had to literally be put into a hypnotic trance in order to film the scene however while she might not remember filming it none of us will ever forget watching it falling falling through the floor I'm knocking on theil's number 28 Jennifer Garner 13 Going on 30 maybe somebody played something other than this something with a Melody honey play whatever you want to all I know that is for those people don't start dancing really really soon here's to early retirement as any child of the80s will tell you the Thriller song and that music video were a large part of their lives and if they're being honest [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] statement number 26 Daniel Craig badier Vodka commercial many people usually like to dance after consuming a little alcohol but for Daniel Craig in this awesome extended commercial he dances his way to the alcohol yeah I'm saying it's the lips it's the eyes we hold tight up in my head every day it every night what starts off like a quiet black and white ad for perfume soon turns into an almost 2minute solo dance Extravaganza featuring Daniel Craig and his groovy Adventures to an eventual glass of [Music] vodka finally yep that's about what our reaction was to seeing him dance his way through the ad we're not sure what to call his moves other than fabulous [Music] number 25 Colin frell The Ellen De generous show teach I have no idea what this is I really don't either but I kind of do what I hate that I do um all right so you start off with your heel out there mhm all right so start he at there of all the things you might have guessed that Colin frell was into when he was a teenager we're going to bet that line dancing was not one of them but not only was Ferell into it he was also part of a line dancing troop called step in line and he also taught it I think I was getting £750 a week for driving around in a little minivan with a bunch of people with CMT country music television jackets on I'd wear choker cut off sleeves and a STS and hat and then I did until I couldn't look at myself in the mirror any longer all this was before he was famous though so when he visited the Ellen degenerous show back over a decade ago the audience was not prepared for what they witnessed which was frell teaching Ellen and a few fans how to line dance from the top all right you've got to do it from the top all right from the top all right from the top so right out right there then one two three number 24 Alonso rero The Fresh Prince of belir oh [Applause] really in your face we guess it's possible that some of you weren't aware of Alfonso robo's dancing abilities until you saw him win season 19 of Dancing With the Stars however for the rest of us our appreciation of rivero's ability to bust a move goes back to the 1990s and The Fresh Prince of belir of course we are talking about the [Applause] Carlton to see me cry the arm and hip swinging move that that rero made so popular has been colloquially named after him and with good reason and it had the Dancing with the Stars audience screaming with nostalgic Glee when he broke it out during one of his routines to be sad ever ever find that you changed at any time it's not unusual to find that I'm in love number 23 Joseph Gordon levit 500 Days of [Music] Summer years before Joseph Gordon levit mesmerized the crowd on lipsync Battle he had already shown us he was part of the Rhythm Nation as far as his ability to move was concerned in the great 2009 romcom 500 Days of Summer jgl in a moment of total relationship ecstasy breaks into a dance as a flash mob of Boogie forms around him CH and shot my way out and W yourself around me cuz I the way you found me and for those of us who were desperate to see him bust a move one more time Gordon levit made all our dreams come true when he did his Janet Jackson on the AFF forementioned lipsync battle in 2015 [Applause] number 22 Stephanie beatric in the Heights my mom is Dominic Cuban my dad is from Chile and which means I'm but I always say I'm from [Applause] Queen Stephanie beatric got her big TV break when she began her run as Rosa Diaz on Brooklyn 99 in 2013 and as far as dancing goes she did show off a few ballet moves in one episode to the not totally disapproving words of her former instructor no way which gave me the physical skills I need to strangle you with my feet and I'll scram however while she gave us a hint of her abilities in that scene it was when 2021 came around that she got to really show off her moves she was constantly writing me about my posture and my technique and my pink hair pink hair never speak of that copy in the movie In the Heights Beatrice as Carla sings and dances her way through a number of scenes even Rosa's former dance teacher would be proud whip that wasn't terrible see Serge tough level Works number 21 Steve Martin Steve Martin's best show ever dance a little dance yeah how long you been dancing oh about 8 Months 8 months how long you been dancing about 33 years you want to do something together you got the guts while audiences had seen Steve Martin shake his stuff as one of the wild and crazy guys those moves were all exaggerated and played for Laughs so the idea that he could legit dance might have still been up for for debate among folks that debate was put to rest when Steve Martin's best show ever special aired in 1981 alls one [Music] more not only did Martin show off some impressive tap dancing skills but he did it alongside Gregory Hines one of the greatest of all time and dare we say it Martin held his own [Music] number 20 Paul Rudd I could never be your woman for decades people have been trying to figure out what it would take to woo Michelle feifer it turns out the answer is an enthusiastic dance Montage second girl while youve don't well at least that's what seems to work on her character in 2007's I could never be your woman as she stands off to the side Paul Rudd breaks out all his moves for a dance style Mage that many probably didn't think he was capable of to be from country line to break dancing Rudd does it all and although it's played for Laughs you can tell he's got some rhythm in those bones it's Friday night I got to bring my a rhythm he showed off for John Stewart as well number 19 Antonio Banderas I depending on your age and movie watching history when you found out Antonio Banderas could dance might differ slightly from other [Music] folks the Spanish actor has shown off his abilities on the Dance Floor on multiple occasions including the mask of Zoro and take the lead but before he was seducing Katherine Zeta Jones and tangoing with c vilus Banderas was walting with Madonna in the 1996 musical IID tell me before I Walt out of your life before turning my back on the past forgive my impertinent Behavior Banderas isn't a trained dancer and as he once said quote it's a myth that everyone from Spain knows how to dance well it might be a myth but it's one that he has lived up to on multiple occasions number 18 Bradley Cooper Silver Linings Playbook in 2018s A Star is Born Bradley Cooper showed us he can sing but it was earlier in the decade that we found out he can also dance don't M it started with with the awesome dance competition scene in silver Ling's Playbook although his and Jennifer Lawrence's characters only score a five out of 10 for their routine they won all of our hearts with their spirited original [Music] choreography the following year in 2013 we learned that his Playbook moves were not a fluke as he boogied down to Donna Summer in American Hustle [Music] number 17 Richard Gear Chicago in the early 80s Richard Gear showed us that he could literally sweep love interests off their feet or at least lift them off and carry them away but it wasn't until much later in his career that we learned he could move his feet with a surprising amount of Grace and Rhythm Amos accused me of having an affair so I told him that the charge was erroneous the moment that made gear a dancer came in the 2002 Musical Chicago the dancing abilities of many of the film stars caught people off guard but none more so than gear when he broke out his tap shoes for a solo dance number that's enough Mr FL I agree you're it is enough the defense dress and we have to imagine that it was his performance in this film that landed him a role in and shall we dance a couple of years [Music] later number 16 Donald fison scrubs being a great dancer and a great improviser do not necessarily have anything to do with each other but sometimes the two come together to create one perfect moment yeah Spiderman and freezing full effect uhhuh ready I'm ready ready I'm ready you and that's what happened on the season 5 episode of Scrubs my Halfacre as Donald fison confirmed on his podcast with Zack bra fake doctor's real friends that now iconic dance he does to B Biv Devo's poison that was all improvised on the spot it'sing me out of my mind that's I don't know what it is he's got it and all done on the first take as well so for all of you who only know is the default fortnite dance know that they took it from Faison's performance he's so damn [Music] talented number 15 Patrick suy dirty dancing while it might have been a surprise to fans when they saw Patrick s's performance in Dirty Dancing it certainly wasn't a surprise to his family and friends s's mother paty was a dancer choreographer and dance instructor naturally Patrick had studied dance from a young age taking it so far as to even move to New York in the 70s to finish his formal [Music] training so while Dirty Dancing was when we all found out he was a dancer for sees the film was just his first opportunity to really show the population at large one of the things he'd been training for his whole life remember you're the one thing I can't get enough enough number 14 Ryan Gosling La La Land for those paying attention Ryan Gosling's dancing abilities have been on full display since he was a kid [Music] [Applause] [Music] whether it's one of the many stage shows you can now find videos of online or even back in his Mickey Mouse Club days Gosling has been moving and grooving however since he exploded onto our movie screens dancing wasn't one of his talents most of us were aware [Applause] [Music] of that is until 2016's best picture winning oops best picture nominated La La Land now we all know that Ryan Gosling is a great [Music] dancer number 13 Charlie theren the astronaut's wife when Charley sarin hosted Saturday Night Live in 2014 she confirmed to the world that she cannot sing but then I started noticing during rehearsals that the part where I sang kept getting smaller and smaller and no one was ever like you know what you can't really sing or anything like that well at least there's one thing this beautiful and talented woman can't do because we all know she can act like a champ and we've also seen that she can dance the year before her SNL confession we saw her Walts around the Oscar stage with Channing Tatum while Seth McFarland sang a song but over a decade before that just a few years into her film career Fen gave us a taste of her moves in a Solo dance around the house in the astronaut's [Music] wife oh my God and 20 years later she gave the world a taste of her Tango in Long [Music] Shot number 12 Channing Tatum Step Up and speaking of charlee thon's Oscar dance partner before he was a famous movie star Channing Tatum was known for his abilities on the Dance Floor on the New York line if my train goes off the track pick it up pick it up pick it up well actually it was more of a stage and the dancing also involved the removal of his clothes as an exotic dancer a skill and life experience he would put to direct use years later in Steven soderberg's great 2012 film magic [Music] mic however it was 6 years prior that his moves were first put on display up on the Silver Screen in Step Up Tatum grooves all over the movie showing off his ability to both freestyle and work with choreography I see you give it to me stop playing [Music] number 11 Jenna Ortega Wednesday Jenna Ortega's unusual and intense dance as Wednesday Adams brilliantly showed the many facets of her creepy [Music] character [Music] Street although not formally trained Ortega came up with all of the moves herself the Night Hunter looking aome way she based her research on actors singers and dancers from the past including suie Su Bob fossy goth kids in the 80s and the first Wednesday Lisa lauring her characters blank face and Laser intense Focus really put the emphasis on the clean graceful [Music] moves the creepy Kookie routine is so much fun that it has since inspired ired many Tik Tok Recreations including one from Lady Gaga number 10 Penelope crew Noel since making her film debut in the early 9s Penelope Cruz has always filled the screen with beauty and glamour to go along with her huge Talent as an actor I can't be [Music] late but in 2004's Noel she filled the screen with her Sultry and seductive salsa dance moves in an attempt to draw Paul Walker into her arms and it worked the film itself didn't perform very well at the box office but those who did pay to see it certainly got their money's worth as far as Cruz's dancing is [Music] concerned number nine Hugh Jackman the greatest Showman get found every the Cirus for many years Hugh Jackman was best known as the tough mutant fighter Wolverine what kind of a name is Wolverine my name's Logan nobody expected the bladh handed hero to also have dancing feet before X-Men launched him to stardom Jackman spent much of his early career singing and dancing on stage he showed off his skills at the occasional award show including a number from his starring role in Broad ways The Boy From Oz despite that many of his fans were stunned when he sacheted onto the screen as PT Barnum in the dazzling film musical the greatest showman [Music] fanty his leading man Moves In This romantic musical are truly the greatest show number eight Kate Hudson nine few people knew that Kate Hudson was a spectacular dancer until she took to the runway in the film musical n [Music] [Applause] Vision Ang wide and tight momental Style by only decision as the Vogue fashion journalist Stephanie Hudson performs the stylish number Cinema Italiano the dazzling black and white sequence has a music video vibe and Hudson is the star [Music] she makes the high energy moves look stylishly simple as she takes over the screen just a few years later Hudson would continue to show off her dance skills in the hit TV series Glee and dance again Amer as dance instructor Cassandra jalai her choreography continued to exude confidence and Glamour and let's not forget about her pushing it in 2011 something [Music] borrowed number seven Christian Bale Newsies Christian Bale is an actor usually associated with G characters and dramatic performances however this former Batman has a film history sprinkled with serious shuffling [Music] skills Bale first dawned his dancing shoes for the silver screen while playing a teenage news boy in the Disney musical Newsies next his Nimble feet were spotlighted in the 1993 drama Swing [Music] Kids in later years Bale would sneak the occasional dance moves into roles like serial killer Patrick baitman and American Psycho Tao ytt even seriously considered giving Gore the god butcher a celebratory dance sequence in Thor love and thunder sadly the butcher Boogie Bops didn't make it into the film schedule tyer and I were sending inspirational videos uh back and forth hoping that we would find half a day to shoot it would have been one of the most bizarre things ever number six Amy Adams Enchanted although Amy Adams started her career as a dancer she didn't get to really showcase her skills on screen until she became a princess come my little friends as we all sing a happy little working song merry little voice is clear and strong come roll as Jazelle and Enchanted Adam's dance background can be seen in each graceful arm gesture she fully Embraces musical theater as she frolics about an happy working song and Twirls through Central Park and that's how you know that's how [Music] know it's in the final ballroom dance however where Adam's great face gets to shine as she and Patrick Dempsey float across the ballroom her inner ballerina truly comes to [Music] life number five Sam Rockwell Charlie's Angels throughout his film career Sam Rockwell has never been shy about cutting a rug he loves to throw in a few well-placed dance moves to enhance his characters it is a frequent enough occurrence that fans look look forward to his little spectacle in whatever film he's [Music] in one of the first of these delightful moments is his smooth villain routine in the Spy comedy Charlie's Angels as Eric Knox he displays his full joy in being the bad guy with some clever footwork what's revenge is fine it's also easy to remember his quick-footed Expo entrance as Justin hammer in Iron Man [Music] 2 as you rewatch some of those earlier films be sure to notice his less obvious character boogies number four Katherine Zeta Jones The Mask of Zoro need to catch my breath D is a very spirited dancer Katherine zet Jones's character Elena in the mask of Zoro is well remembered for a very vigorous sword fight however as previously alluded to she and co-star Antonio Banderas showed off their on-screen chemistry with a sizzling posad before she started making films Zeta Jones performed as a child in the West End and studied musical [Music] theater after her turn as zoro's romantic interest her dancing skills continued to serve her well they had it coming they had it come they had it come they had it come they had it come they it I didn't do it [Music] didn't her Fierce numbers as the merry murderous Vel McKelly in Chicago earned her an Oscar for best supporting actress a spirited dancer [Music] indeed now you see me going through it you may think there there nothing to it number three Zoe Sanaa Center Stage although Zoe sna trained in her early years as a dancer she chose not to pursue her ballet dreams oh my God oh my God luckily she was able to live them out in her debut feature Center Stage Sania showed off her Talent playing an aspiring ballerina in this teen drama although she hasn't taken on another dancer role the actress managed some pretty impressive hip-hop moves while dancing to No Scrubs on lipsync Battle scr [Music] scr gamora's graceful and fierce fighting in Guardians of the Galaxy also clearly reflects the dancer within number two Tom Holland lipsync battle not everyone knows that Tom Holland started his career on on a West End stage in Billy Elliot the Musical it all started I used to go to a street dance club and we did a show in White Lodge in the ballet school and the Headmaster he spotted me he was like we wanted to audition for Billy Elliott and I was
