After wowing us with his directorial skills Dil Chahta Hai, Lakshya and Don, Farhan Akhtar tried his luck on the other side of the camera, acting in 2008's Rock On!!. But, as if that weren't enough, he decided to flash his stylish singing voice on the film's soundtrack as well. And how!
In an ode to Farhan's risk-taking and multi-faceted talent, we present you Hollywood, which has, in fact, done it quite often. Here's looking at Hollywood stars, who have extended their talent to singing as well.
Johnny Depp
And you thought Sweeney Todd was the extent of his musical talents.
Though many consider him Hollywood's finest actor, according to Depp himself, music will always be his first love. As a youngster, long before the days of Jack Sparrow, Depp was just a regular teen playing in a band called The Kids, where he reportedly opened for punk acts like Iggy Pop and the Ramones. A few weeks back, he reunited with his former band for a benefit concert.
