– How many marshmallows gonna fit in your mouth?
– I bet I can fit, like, 8.
For this list, we're looking at celebrities who have unconventional talents that are different and/or that they keep away from their main profession.
#10 Josh Hutcherson – cricket noises
– Do the cricket thing. Keep doing it.
– Yeah, don’t stop. That's cool.
Besides starring in one of the biggest franchises of the early 21st century, the young American actor has a quirky talent to fall back on. Josh Hutcherson can accurately recreate cricket and bird noises.
Born in 1992, Hutcherson worked his way through “The Polar Express”, “Zathura: A Space Adventure”, and “Bridge to Terabithia”, before garnering a worldwide following with “The Hunger Games”. But it wasn't until the marketing push for the latter film that Hutchison's cricket skills became known. So, that's how Katniss learned the Mockingjay whistle!
#9 Kesha – tooth weaving
– I've made a headdress out of it.
– Well, why wouldn't you? Who wouldn't do it?
– I know. I love that. The first thing you see when you walk in my house is a skeleton with a headdress on, with all my fans’ teeth.
Forget the Tooth Fairy. Send your molars and canines to Kesha.
Propelled by a successful feature on Flo Rida's hit song “Right Round”, Kesha Rose Sebert took the pop world by storm with her debut album “Animal”. In the lead up to her sophomore record, Kesha revealed to bang showbiz that she asked fans to mail her loose teeth.
– I love my fans. I do. It's the only reason I'm sitting here with you. Yeah, so, and I wanted to have them send me their teeth – just ones they're not using.
Receiving well over a thousand samples as a result of her weird and unsanitary request, the pop starlet used the teeth to craft a bra top, headdress, earrings, and necklaces. Which was equally, if not suitably, weird.
#8 Kendall Jenner – bird noises
– Do you have a head in talent?
– Yeah, I can make bird noises.
– Prove it
Part of the Kardashian family and a successful model, Kendall Jenner appeared on James Corden's Late Late Show to share a hidden talent with the world. The second youngest Kardashian can chirp like a bird, and it is awesome to behold.
– Ladies and gentlemen, Kendall Jenner with bird noises.
Forbes’ pick for 2017s highest-paid model, Jenner is apparently quite proud of this talent, as Corden's talk show was not the first time the celebrity performed her call of the wild.
If bird noises aren't enough – and they very much are – Kendall is also hyper mobile and can bend her thumb backwards.
– I can do this with my thumb. That's not that crazy.
#7 Mark Ruffalo – unicycling
The Hulk on a unicycle. Marvel, why is this not a thing?!
During an episode of The Graham Norton Show, the American actor and filmmaker revealed a childhood talent involving a unicycle. At the age of 12, Ruffalo picked up the circus skill, but 25 years had passed since the spotlight actor last stepped on a unicycle. After the multiple award-winning performer proved that unicycling was still in his blood, Norton brought out a taller model for Ruffalo to conquer. Is there anything better than Mark Ruffalo riding a unicycle? How about Ruffalo and James McAvoy riding a unicycle?
#6 Aaron Paul – canine gender guessing
Even if “Breaking Bad” failed to deliver, Jesse Pinkman's options were wide open. During a Jimmy Kimmel Live segment on Celebrity Hidden Talents, Aaron Paul announced he could tell the gender of a dog just by briefly petting the animal. Obviously, Kimmel brought out 4 different canines and put the actor to work. Simultaneously adorable and weird, a blindfolded Paul accurately guessed all 4 genders. Assuming this whole segment was not premeditated, you got a wonder how Paul picked up the strange talent.
#5 Jennifer Lawrence – marshmallow mouth stuffing
Seriously, is there anything JLo can't do? As one of Hollywood's most prominent leading ladies, there should be no doubt in anyone's mind that Jennifer Lawrence is multi-talented. Alongside being an Academy award-winning actress, Katniss is a superstar when it comes to stuffing marshmallows into her mouth. A talent, Lawrence demonstrated during a game of truth or dare with MTV. Less surprisingly but still impressive – the highly capable actress is a rather capable mime. Acting skills aside, the marshmallows thing is the real scene stealer.
– My hands are so sticky from the marshmallows mixed with my drool.
#4 Katy Perry – frog facing
While serving as a judge on American Idol, Katy Perry struck a deal with one of the contestants: if they reveal their hidden talent, she would do the same. While the contestant’s talent was rather tame – he could quote all of “Mean Girls”, Perry definitely did not disappoint. Stressing that it barely qualifies as a talent and noting that it was far from sexy, the I-kissed-a-girl singer proceeded to puff up her face to resemble a frog. Self described as disgusting, Katy Perry's talent might be best kept as a secret is.
#3 Jessie J – closed mouth conversing
Born and raised in London, Jessica Ellen Cornish sings better with a closed mouth than most people can with theirs open. Regularly praised for having a monster voice and a unique stage persona, during the singer's childhood, Jessie J developed this strange talent as a party trick for auditions. Pretending to be in a box, the Domino performer would close her mouth and hold a conversation. Initially, the starlet skill does not seem too impressive but then, Jessie J started to sing “Bang bang” and, incredibly, it sounded pretty good.
#2 Christopher Walken – lion taming
– I did. I worked in a circus.
– You’re a lion tamer?
– Yes.
By this point, we'd be disappointed if the physical embodiment of complete weirdness did not have a weird secret talent. Prior to winning an Academy Award for The Deer Hunter or dancing like crazy in the Fat Boy Slim “Weapon of Choice” video, Christopher Walken joined the circus as a lion tamer.
– Yeah, I was in a traveling circus when I was in high school.
The actor was 16 at the time and performed with a lioness named Sheba. Although the actor described the old feline as more of a cat than a lion. Whether Sheba was big or small, taming the king or queen of the jungle is impressive, no matter its size.
#1 Pierce Brosnan – fire eating
– Doing your show has reinvigorated me. I feel as if there's nothing I couldn't do now.
– Really? what about fire eating?
– Sure, why not.
Well, this is James Bond we're talking about. So, of course, Pierce Brosnan knows how to eat fire. Passionate about the performing arts from a young age, the Irish actor attended London's Ovalhouse for workshops and training. During one particular night, Rozlyn learned how to breathe fire – a skill that proved useful during an episode of “Remington Steele”. Brosnan's talent resurfaced again when he appeared on “Muppets Tonight”, following the release of “GoldenEye”. But after trying a fuel he wasn't familiar with, Pearce suffered blisters on his mouth, causing him to put the skill to bed for good.
