Celebrity Hidden Talents

These stars have some quirky secret skillz!

Beyond Movies and Mics
We all know these stars have wild talent when it comes to performing, but did you know, for instance, that Justin Bieber can put together a Rubik's Cube in just over a minute? Or that Halle Berry is a gifted flautist and Isla Fisher went to clown school? Check out other wild and wacky celeb talents inside.

1. Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber can make girls scream and cry and trample each other by doing absolutely nothing at all, but that's not his hidden talent. His real quirky skill: mastery of the Rubik's Cube! The teen star put the puzzle together on live TV in 84 seconds once!

3. Taylor Lautner
Taylor Lautner has some serious karate skills, and he's also excellent at catching grapes in his mouth! He got really good at it during the downtime while filming Twilight.

4. Geena Davis
Actress Geena Davis is best known for roles in flicks like Beetlejuice and Thelma & Louise, and she almost got to add Olympic archer to her resume! Back in 1999 the star tried out for the women's Olympic archery team and was thisclose to making the cut. She took up the sport just two years prior. Now she's on the front lines of the Women's Sports Foundation.

5. Patrick Dempsey
Not only is Patrick Dempsey a successful (and very attractive) actor, he's also a race car driver! He drove the pace car in the Indy 500 once and is co-owner of Vision Racing. As if he needed anything to boost his McDreamy status.

6. Beyonce
Beyonce is an avid Connect Four player! The singer was once challenged by Kanye West, and she beat him 9 times in a row. To the left, to the left, Mr. West.

7. David Arquette
How awesome is this: David Arquette is a pro knitter! He apparently fashions his own scarves and such.

8. Jennifer Garner
Jennifer Garner is an actress, wife, mom, and saxophonist! Once upon a time she wanted to become a professional player, but then the whole movie star thing happened.

9. Halle Berry
Halle Berry's hidden talent is her flute skills! The Oscar winner played throughout her childhood and was apparently quite good. Clearly, she's long since grown out of the band geek phase.

10. Colin Farrell
Colin Farrell is one of Hollywood's biggest bad boys -- with crazy line dancing skills! He spent 8 months teaching line dancing lessons in Ireland in the '90s and chalks the whole thing up to being a crazy teenager. Besides, movies pay far better.
11. Leslie Mann
Leslie Mann blew viewers away when she showed off her unicycle skills on Ellen -- in a dress! "I'm really good at it," the actress explained. "It's so weird, now that I think about it.'' It is weird, also very awesome.

12. Susan Sarandon
Susan Sarandon loves ping pong SO much that she opened up a club in NYC dedicated to table tennis in 2009! Apparently she's even tried to create a reality show about the sport.

"I love that in ping pong, it goes across age and gender and size. I love watching little girls beat great big muscular guys. And I love how fast it is," she said in a June 2011 interview.


13. Bob Barker
Don't mess with Bob Barker, he's taken karate lessons from Chuck Norris! He took up martial arts just before his 50th birthday, and continued until the age of 75, when his back and knees just weren't having it any longer.

14. Steve Martin
Steve Martin used to play the banjo for his stand up routines decades ago, and now he's a serious musician. He even won a Grammy for his first all-music album in 2009, The Crow: New Songs for the 5-String Banjo. Impressive, huh?

15. Mike Tyson
Mike Tyson has been a pigeon racer since practically forever. He even starred in a reality show about it, and apparently even threw his first punch over a pigeon racing conflict. And the rest is history.
