10 Great Actors Who Embarrassed Themselves In Film Musicals
2. Pierce Brosnan in Mamma Mia
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP9EC0qLvDk Mamma Mia is proof that no matter how bad the performance, you can still be left humming along to a damn good tune. A bunch of serious thespians (including Meryl Streep, Colin Firth and Stellen Skaarsgard) show little in the way of singing talent but at least seem to enjoy themselves. Bottom of the barrel though is Pierce Brosnan and the moment the first bars of SOS appear, he takes a deep breath and you realise that, yes, he is actually about to sing, it is excruciating. No matter how hard he tries or how loved the songs are, Pierce never gets further than looking like a Dad embarrassingly doing karaoke at a wedding. He was James Bond for heavens sake!
