I am really not surprised. Back in the day, if you wanted to get into acting, you had to know how to sing and dance. In fact, Morgan Freeman was told to learn how to dance though he has done very little. He danced for a short time in Million Dollar Baby. Just so he could just once in his career

@aspasiaaria853 Месяц назад

Cagney was a dancer, and did make films where his own dance style was featured. For “Yankee Doodle Dandy” he said in interviews that he very carefully studied the footage of Cohan’s performances to learn the man’s signature style-which required adapting to Cohan’s psychology as much as his physical movements.

I am a theatre snob. For me, there is a difference between moving well and being a dancer. Patrick Swayze was a dancer. Catherine Zeta-Jones did musical theatre in London. Christopher Walken started off as a dancer. Check out the movie Pennies From Heaven. Hugh Jackman also started off in musical theatre. PBS stations aired his Oklahoma several years ago. Tom Holland did Billy Elliot in London. You can find videos of him doing ballet online. I consider these people to be dancers, not people who move well. There's nothing wrong with moving well; moving well is great. If there was a dance audition for a show; many of them would get cut. But if the audition was for actors who can move well, they'd get the job. My opinion, of course.

When he came out and did that dance it was just unbelievable. He put everything into that. It wasn't just a dance it was a fantastic performance - the water raining from the ceiling, kicking up the water on the floor, falling into the water... Even even just the fact that he starts it with singing in the rain and then completely flips the entire tone of the performance is awesome because it's so unexpected. Starting out in the dark suit and flipping to being in a... Corset? But he never acted like it was a bit.

I fast forwarded to the end just to see if John Travolta would be numero 1, which I was expecting him to be, I didn't know he could dance until I saw Saturday Night Fever! He didn't even make the list...

😂 This video is funny! Of course they can dance these routines! They were taught how to do it. That's what choreographers do. They teach people how to dance (aka dance instructor, dance school). It not like they are breaking out impromptu in your local bar/pub! They are trained entertainers and pretty good at it! 😉

From #20, I was waiting for Christopher Walken as #1. After all, he was a dancer before being an actor, even if his roles didn't often allow us to remember this fact.

@eligeorgea2283 9 месяцев назад

Good lord, yes. Everyone should find his “Let’s Misbehave” from “Pennies From Heaven.” What a talent!

Patrick Swayze was a dancer before he was an actor. His mother taught dance in Texas.

When I started this I thought surely it must be Walken at #1. When it got to #2 and still no Walken, I was building up the rage to post some nasty bewildered comment but thankfully the right guy was at #1

The movie RRR not only introduced me to Ram Charan and Indian film, but the fact that he is a fantastic dancer who does it in all his films.

For once, I agree with number one!! I really expected it to be John Travolta, which would have been irratating, since we always knew he could dance.

@alaynecampbell9777 9 месяцев назад

He was an actor before he was a dancer. He should have been #1.

@margaretzeaiter8955 4 месяца назад

We didn’t know he could dance until Saturday Night Fever. He never danced before that. Didn’t study dance his entire life before SNF. What a disappointment he wasn’t even mentioned.

Kate Hudson's mom, Goldie Hawn, was a dancer, for a while in Vegas, before she was a famous actress. I loved Cinema Italiano in Nine so much I just kept playing it back over and over again. One of my favorite dance numbers ever. It is sexy and has great energy. The male dancers are hot!

@valkyriesardo278 10 месяцев назад

I first saw Walken dance in Pennies from Heaven with Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters. Walken dances on a bar in suspenders and a tank top undershirt. Very sexy stuff.

Richard Gere definitely can dance, but let's be real. The most spectacular portions of the tap dancing in Chicago (where you can't see his face) were undoubtedly done by someone else.

@artchem1 10 месяцев назад

THIS MAN CAN DANCED !!!! THANK YOU , RICHARD GERE #1

@onlyyou711 9 месяцев назад

I feel much the same about the Gere performance but what about Renee Zellweger in this movie? She was astounding and didn't have the same dancers background as Zeta Jones. I heard she trained like a trooper and she made it fly in my opinion.

Agreed. When there are a lot of cut aways you know they had to piece together a little bit of this and a lot of that.

Nope. He's a dancer, and specifically studied tap for 3 months to do that bit.

Theron trained as a classical ballet dancer before taking up acting, as did Hudson, Bale, Adams, Saldana, Mikkelsen & Walken.

Not big components of the respective movies, but I'd go with Jamie-Lee Curtis in True Lies and Emily Blunt in The Adjustment Bureau. And my favoutite quote about someone not thought to be much of a dancer at the time: Fred Astaire's audition judge - 'can't act, can't sing, can dance a little'.
