Some people have all the luck!

Good looks, fortunes in the bank an adoring support, it seems that celebrities have it all but for some, their talents exceed into other areas one may not thought they were au fait with as we look at 5 celebrities who can add music to their repertoire.

Mario Balotelli

The former Manchester City, Inter Milan and Liverpool forward has courted controversy wherever he has gone on and off the pitch.

However, for all his outlandish antics, it turns out that Super Mario has a hidden talent for music.

No, his weapon of choice is not the drums or electric guitar but rather more surprisingly the serene sounds of the piano.

In 2013, the Italian was caught on camera playing the piano to Italy team mate Andrea Pirlo.

Although some considered the footage of Mario playing the piano to be fake, it turns out he is not the only footballer who has an ear for music and that those that take to the pitch can also pick a tune.

Channing Tatum  

Hollywood heartthrob Channing Tatum may be more famous for taking his clothes off in the Magic Mike film series but away from erotically gyrating in front of an adoring audience, it appears that Tatum shares Balotelli’s love of the clinking of the piano keys.

After taking to Instagram to demonstrate his skills on the ivory keys last year, the 37-year-old American continues to improve his skills and is surprisingly talented despite being inundated with multiple scripts for his many movie making talents.

Client Eastwood

Dirty Harry himself keeps us on the piano theme and when he is done shooting villains in the Wild West, Clint Eastwood moonlights as a jazz pianist.

Eastwood’s love for jazz is well documented and he has featured on episodes of Piano Jazz highlighting his love of Garner’s music and talks about about seeing Charlie Parker perform live.

But it is his talent on the keys themselves that have surprised many fans of the tough, gruff Western hero.

Bruce Willis

John McClane, Butch Coolidge, Korben Dallas, Hollywood A-lister Bruce Willis has played some of the most memorable characters to ever grace the silver screen.

But did you know he is a dab hand with the harmonica and even released an album at the height of his fame in 1997?

The rather unenticing album entitled ‘The Return of Bruno’ features Willis’s silky tones and remarkably received 4.3/5 from Amazon reviewers and is better than one first thought.

Not bad for a man better known for his rather offensive catchphrases.

Sandra Bullock

Another Hollywood A-lister, Sandra Bullock has taken a shine to the guitar away from making some killer movies.

During 2010, Bullock jumped on stage during a benefit gig which featured the likes of Taylor Swift and Faith Hill and strummed away on the guitar to the delight the adoring fans.

Whether she has kept this talent up remains to be seen but if the movie offers ever dry up, at least she has creditable back up plan.
