Cara Delevingne has walked the runway for big-name brands like Burberry, Chanel and Saint Laurent. She’s even dabbled in acting with “Suicide Squad,” “Pan” and Luc Besson’s sci-fi movie “Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.” But aside from being a busy supermodel and budding actress, Delevingne is also a pretty impressive beatboxer.
Christina Hendricks is best known for her role as Joan Holloway on the hit drama series “Mad Men,” where she also happened to perform with an accordion. While this may have been surprising for her fans at the time, they quickly learned that Hendricks actually plays the instrument in her free time. She’s taken lessons for accordion playing and believes that “it is such a rich instrument for one person … It’s a very romantic instrument and it channels all the things I love – French, culture Tom Waits.”
Geena Davis is a woman of many talents. Not only is she an award-winning actress for her roles in “The Accidental Tourist,” “Thelma & Louise” and “Commander in Chief,” she’s also a film producer, writer and former fashion model. Outside of the arts, however, she is also a skilled archer. According to her, she took up archery at 41 years old and “became obsessed with it” to the point she “trained and trained like crazy.” Davis even became a prospect for the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. She was a semi-finalist for the Olympic Archery team and made it to the top 32.
Jessie J is an impeccable vocalist, Grammy nominated artist and great performer. And it turns out that she can sing even with her mouth closed. According to the “Bang Bang” singer, she grew up “pretending she lived in a box,” so she’s mastered the art of speaking without parting her lips. Eventually, she developed this talent so that she could sing as well.
