10 Actors You Didn't Know Are Currently Rocking Out In Bands

10. Ryan Gosling

In the movies he's every lady's dream: beautiful blonde locks, twinkling blue eyes, and just the slightest dangerous streak to make him more than the boy next door. There's a reason he's constantly on the cover of People Magazine, and it has nothing to do with his acting range. (Though...Drive, anyone?) Band: Dead Man's Bones The frequent focus of many a tabloid headline (CAN YOU BELIEVE HE DIED HIS HAIR BROWN FOR A MOVIE ROLE?), Gosling also likes to indulge in his offscreen passion as one half of a goth rock band. Dead Man's Bones is was inspired by Gosling and his bandmate/friend Zach Shields' fascination with The Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland, and spawned love songs about ghosts and goblins. As a former member of The Mickey Mouse Club, one might expect "The Gos" to have a decent set of pipes like his cast-mates Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, and Britney Spears. But he one-ups expectations by playing nearly all of the instruments on the album, even though he'd never touched some of them before the recording sessions. Dead Man's Bones has had their music featured in horror flicks like The Conjuring.
