Alfonso Ribeiro has been a professional dancer since he was a young child. He shouldn't be in this list at all. Even his Pepsi commercial at the age of 13 had him dancing next to Michael Jackson! Always a fan of his, but he doesn't fit the description of "Surprisingly Good Dancer". He's always been a good dancer! :-D
Yes. Alfonso Ribeiro starred in the title role of "The Tap Dance Kid" on Broadway in the early 80s. He doesn't belong on this list; unfortunately, this channel is short on information: it seems nobody who works there understands how to "Google."
So what if he was professional when he was a kid! Read the video title again! Some people didn’t know that which would be surprising to them. The surprise is the element.
@GinC Well then, you'd have to include Sam Rockwell and Chris Walken if you're gonna split hairs, because both of them are professionally trained dancers, as well. Honestly!
Sam Rockwell has long and unfairly been one of the most underrated and overlooked great talents in Hollywood. At least finally both fans and casting directors/producers are taking notice.
He is very very good, but I wonder if he hasn't actually been trained as a dancer? At least a little, maybe as part of his musical theatre background. And maybe learned some hip hop or breakdance, from the way he moves. He looks too good to be simply an amateur. Hiddleston or Rudd look like guys who have never really been taught how to dance but are just good at it and enjoy dancing. JGL looks like he knows what he's doing.
“While some older men look awkward when dancing Walken looked great.” WHAT? Fred Astaire in his 80s, Gene Kelly in his 70s, Baryshnikov age 71---yeah these Old guys really looked “awkward."
I just watched this and found the same comment such an off generalized statement too! The general public: older men have years of honing their dance moves and...retort generalization warning: young men with no experience are more focused on how cool they look instead of just goin' for it.
Vincent Cassel’s technique blows everyone else away! Definitely should have been more than honorable mention. Also how could Tom Holland not even be mentioned?? Best and most surprising Lip sync battle performance of all time! 😂🥰🙌🏾
For some reason people always forget that Alphonso started out as a dancer when he was a kid. He became recognizable long before Fresh Prince due to being in the Jackson's iconic Coke commercial.
sandra santamarina Most people find him attractive because of his charming personality and his great acting skills. (Plus he is really good looking) But forreal Loki pushed me to the edge I fell for Tom Hiddleston
@@EE-jo5pt she isn't a dancer, obviously she isn't going to have talent in that department. If you've ever listened to her songs you can't claim her dad made her career. The general public has to like her music ( which they do) for her to have a career.
Well, people love her because she's talented. She started to write songs at a young age. HER SONG . How about you ? Can you actually to do that? I bet you can't even have the same popularity, money and talent that she has, so back off FUCKER.
shinhwa change I thought the same thing. It was a tease. I would have liked to have seen some real dancing. I know that Sam Rockwell can cut a rug, for sure. Vin Diesel? I'd like to see that...but they didn't show anything. Just for that, I'm going to "dislike" this video and teach them a lesson. I'm that bad ass motherfucker. 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Uh... Do people not know Robeiro (Carlton) was a professional dancer as a child? Like, he starred in Broadway shows as a kid, was in Michael Jackson Pepsi commercials, and even had a how-to instruction on how to pop and lock as a kid.
As is pointed out by others here, Alfonso Ribiero has been a professional dancer since he was a kid, even starring on Broadway in a show named The Tap Dance Kid. In this show he held his own with Tony winner Hinton Battle, and as an indicator of how good he was, when he left the show, he was replaced by Savion Glover! To anyone with any historical perspective (which, as I've pointed out frequently, you do not have) his dancing expertise is no surprise.
Loci, aka Tom Hiddleston is one of the sexiest men alive and I dont know why they aren't considering him for the James Bond trilogy. .he would be a perfect replacemenr
Haha. Went to high school with Rudd. He could always boogie. Damn, can't believe we just had our 30 year reunion. Could we seriously be this damned old? Go Vikings!
Oh yeah! Type Bradley Cooper dancing in RUclips. Check out the James Corden video; the disco scene in American Hustle; and the dance scene in Silver Linings Playbook.
There was no question that Alfonso Riberio on Dancing With The Stars was going to win considering by the time he was 8 years old he starred in a Broadway show called The Tap Dance Kid. He was actually a professional dancer. You don't get any better than a Broadway dancer.
Sushi...He was very cute & lovable on his breakout show "Third Rock From The Sun" which was hilarious & charming itself, loved his long hair back then. After that, he blossomed into an even better actor in serious roles as he kind of "grew up" Always entertaining to watch him perform as an actor & also to see his other talents. Go JGL !
Yeah, we was also good in it, though I like the way that his moves were coordinated with the other dancers with the JJ number. Nevertheless, with both those performances, I do think he should be higher in the list.
Sam Rockwell should of been #1. That man can dance. In Iron Man 2 they explained that he does dancing as a warm up to his scenes to get ready. The scene where he dances at the expo was him warming up and he didn't know they were rolling. They just kept it in because they loved it so much.
Lavender Hugh Jackman performs on Broadway so of course he cab dance, and Channing Tatum's first movie was literally a movie about dancing. If you didn't know he could dance then what are you doing with your life.
The category is Surprisingly good Dancers. Channing Tatum and Patrick Swayze is not surprising. You know who shouuld be there. Terry Cruz. YOu know Damon from Friday After Next and the Old Spice Commercials, and the Series Are we there yet. Dude got moves.
Alfonso Ribeiro is not a "surprisingly good dancer" ... It's LITERALLY what he was known for as a child and how he was discovered before any TV roles. LOL you guys I swear :)
@@benjaminwagner8141 Yes, did a Pepsi commercial where he was dancing with Jackson, he put out dance instruction videos, starred as Tap Dance Kid on Broadway. He posed many times as a mini-Michael Jackson in the early 80's.
It's not really a big surprise when actors are good dancers. Most do theater work, or stuff on Broadway, which require having the abiltity to dance well.
Most actors (in the UK and Australia, not sure about the US) take dance as part of their studies or found that they loved performing via dance. It not only makes them more versatile and so more likely to be employed in the early parts of their careers, it also helps with body language and awareness which is a big part of being a convincing actor. It's like how most actors have taken voice and/or singing as well, even if they don't have stellar singing voices it's important to be able to hold at least a semblence of a tune and to project and have good breath control.
Surprisingly shocked by my fav Bale, being on this here list. Rockwell was totally evident in Charlie's Angels, when he started playing that 'Simon Says' track when he reveals his evil side.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised anymore when an actor can also dance, sing or play a musical instrument. It just comes with the territory. But it is surprising the first time you see them do something that you don't expect, especially when they do it so well. Recent example is Patrick Wilson singing a duet beautifully with Barbra Streisand - although I must admit I had no idea he was a Broadway veteran.
Jimmy Fallon, Will Smith, and John Travolta belong on a list like this. And to all the Carlton haters out there, taking classes doesn't take away from how good he is. And Christopher Walken had classes as well. But no one is throwing shade at him.
I remember watching the chatty man interview with Tom hiddleston when I had no idea he could dance, he started it off like a dad trying to dance at a family party after a few beers but then went full swing! 😍😍
It's embarrassing how many people can't read - this is a list of SURPRISINGLY good dancers, not a list of actors we already know are good dancers. There's a reason why Patrick Swayze, John Travolta, Michael Jackson are missing. Duh.
Make a part two or three and include the following: Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello, Chris Evans, Vanessa L. Williams, Idris Elba, Chris Pratt, Dan Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Emma Stone, Jensen Ackles, Danai Gurira, and the Wahlberg brothers Donnie & Mark.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, such a down to earth guy. He gives good interviews and great performance. Love this guy.

But I’m sure you got that already. ✌🏽
Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tom Hiddleston are EVERYTHING!
Christopher Walker’s mother was a dancer and he was trained. I love him.
Tom Hiddleston is the BOMB. What an amazing dancer! Can't get enough!
Love him as well as Sam Rockwell. They are about evenly matched. Dancing only.
What about Hugh Jackman? He is just an incredible dancer and you can see that in The Greatest Showman
his skill isn't "surprising" though, he has a background in theatre :)
Yeah he was famous for Oklahoma before Wolverine
He is a trained dancer. That’s why he was probably excluded. Like Tom Holland
They have more stage presence than current white male popstars
Jim Carrey as well
Paul Rudd is so adorable. I love him. Gordon-Levitt and Hiddleston, too.
Been a huge fan of Paul Rudd since i was a kid and first saw Clueless.
Alfonso Ribeiro has been a professional dancer since he was a young child. He shouldn't be in this list at all. Even his Pepsi commercial at the age of 13 had him dancing next to Michael Jackson!

Yes. Alfonso Ribeiro starred in the title role of "The Tap Dance Kid" on Broadway in the early 80s. He doesn't belong on this list; unfortunately, this channel is short on information: it seems nobody who works there understands how to "Google."
Christopher Walken was also a trained "hoofer" as he likes to put it. He tries to include a few steps in as many movies as possible.
So what if he was professional when he was a kid! Read the video title again! Some people didn’t know that which would be surprising to them. The surprise is the element.
@GinC Well then, you'd have to include Sam Rockwell and Chris Walken if you're gonna split hairs, because both of them are professionally trained dancers, as well. Honestly!

I agree.

You literally just described professional dancers. Most normal older men do look awkward when they dance.

Hiddleston should to lip sync battle with Tom Holland✌✌✌✌✌
Would be great 😂😂😂😂😂🙈🙈🙈❤❤❤❤💕💕💕👌👌👌💕👌👌👌👌!!
Hannah McGahan true!
Nah I say Tom H. vs Tom H.

Tom Hiddlestone is the best I love him !
Lost points with me 'cause of the Taylor Swift association.⬇

Loki, love him

I came on here looking for Tom Holland!
Christopher Walken... an incredibly talented man with grace and a style all his own. Awesome!
For some reason people always forget that Alphonso started out as a dancer when he was a kid. He became recognizable long before Fresh Prince due to being in the Jackson's iconic Coke commercial.
He also danced on Broadway in The Tap Dance Kid.
Loki and Ant-Man should do a dance off!!
Hanif Huzairi and starlord
and also Spider-Man
Hahaha, forgot about Quill.. Thanks for mentioning him and Spidey
YESS
also it'd be the best thing ever because they're both such dorks :')
hawt dorky nerdy heaven, YASSS
And the future Robin... JGL
people forget that Alfonso Ribeiro use to be the best Michael Jackson dance impersonator when he was little.
Pepsi commercial!❤
Sam Rockwell in Charlie’s Angels. That dancing scene is ICONIC.
Right?! So good.
He did the SPLITS in Charlie’s angels and Confessions of a dangerous Mind, he’s obviously the most gifted dancer of this list, though not surprising
This person clearly didn't do research, Alfonso is a tap dancer, he literally did it as a kid. So, of course, he can dance.
Alfonso Ribeiro played the lead role in "The Tap Dance Kid" on Broadway in 1983 and 1984. He has always been an excellent dancer and entertainer!
YES!! I knew that Tom Hiddleston would be #1.
our tombaby really loves to dance
Ashley S what is the obsession with this guy?! He's not cute at all
sandra santamarina Most people find him attractive because of his charming personality and his great acting skills. (Plus he is really good looking) But forreal Loki pushed me to the edge I fell for Tom Hiddleston
nope don't see it lol
I don't see it. There were other actors on the list who were a lot better than him.
Tom Holland should have been #1 for his Unbrella proformance in the lip sinc battle.
Gabrielle Lambert He did star as Billy Elliot on the West End. That means a serious dance background, even if he didn’t keep it up.
I just saw that. He. Slayed!
Hell yes
YES!
OH YES
The Tom Hiddleston clip didn't so much show what a good dancer he is, it just made it clear what a bad dancer Taylor Swift is
I can't begin to explain how i loved him in Crimson Peak, and he also dances waltz in that movie
Haha, yes, I was surprised at how lame her dancing was.
TheTurulhawk Shes only famous because of her rich daddy so are you really surprised she has very little real talent?

Meh. I never understood why he was thought as handsome or tough, but, considering his background in ballet, I can at least get the dancing.
He’s a dancer so he wouldn’t be on this list
@@margaretsmist7140 well he should of been as he was an actor...

Alfonso Ribiro? The guy got his break dancing with MICHAEL JACKSON when he was 8 frickin' years old. Who DIDN'T know he could dance?
DroverChicago Exactly. No one does research anymore. Ditto with Donald Faison. (see Brandy video for Sittin’ in my Room)
I was just thinking about that!!
I remember this
Me. Lol
He also released a VHS Break Dance TUTORIAL !!!
if i see JGL shirtless on the thumb nail i know this deserves a like
People forget that Alfonso Ribeiro danced with Michael Jackson when he was a kid!
Even fewer remember the rumor he broke his neck and died doing a headspin.
I WAS FREAKING DYING WHEN THEY SAID TOMS NAME.
I love Tom Hiddleston.
Uh... Do people not know Robeiro (Carlton) was a professional dancer as a child? Like, he starred in Broadway shows as a kid, was in Michael Jackson Pepsi commercials, and even had a how-to instruction on how to pop and lock as a kid.
yep, so if he's on the list, why not Channing? Who the fuck names their kid "Channing" anyway?
Alphonso Ribeiro is a good dancer, but it really shouldn't shouldn't surprise anyone. He got his start in the Tap Dance Kid.
As is pointed out by others here, Alfonso Ribiero has been a professional dancer since he was a kid, even starring on Broadway in a show named The Tap Dance Kid. In this show he held his own with Tony winner Hinton Battle, and as an indicator of how good he was, when he left the show, he was replaced by Savion Glover!

Valentina Solinas I was thinking the same
came here to say the same thing
Valentina Solinas he is a dancer. he was billy Elliot, he did ballet
Valentina Solinas Yep 100%
Exactly what I was thinking
Christopher Walken is an AMAZING dancer! Every time I tell someone this fact, they don't believe me!
The dance of his I liked best was his tap dancing striptease on Pennies from Heaven. So sexy!
as if Tom Hiddleston can't get attractive enough he just have to dance it off
HAHAHA
I love everything Paul Rudd does! 😍 But my favorite hoofer in this group is Christopher Walken in the Fat Boy Slim video! He’s so smooth! 😻😘❤️
TOM ! STOP WITH THOSE HIPS !!
*adorableness overload*
Haha. Went to high school with Rudd. He could always boogie. Damn, can't believe we just had our 30 year reunion. Could we seriously be this damned old? Go Vikings!
Jiiqiii udis9lsl9A11XP1
The only reasons I gave this a like is because of JGL and of course the delicious Tom Hiddleston.
Christopher Walken is actually classically trainer dancer BEFORE he was on Broadway and then the Big Screen!
That explains why I immediately thought "OK he's actually a pro" after seeing like 2 seconds of that clip.
I love it when Tom Hiddleston tops the list.
Walken IS a trained dancer. I thought this was about celebs who you didn't know could dance like Sam Rockwell or Paul Rudd.
Yes, Walken danced on Broadway as Riff in on of the revivals of West Side Story
Most people don’t know that, though.
On the contrary, I think Sam Rockwell is VERY well known for gettin down. Like, ALL THE TIME. Wasn't he a trained Broadway dancer?
I think you should take Vin off this chart.
For sure. I like Vin but he's not better than Sam Rockwell.
Surprised Bradley Cooper did not make the list. That man has some serious dance moves!
SlickLatina He can dance??
Oh yeah! Type Bradley Cooper dancing in RUclips. Check out the James Corden video; the disco scene in American Hustle; and the dance scene in Silver Linings Playbook.
SlickLatina yes! I was impressed with his moves Limitless too.
SlickLatina they should've made it a top 20 list

Sam Rockwell is better than all of #6-1
I'm assuming you don't dance do you. Only ones that should be on this list were Alfonso and Donald.
Fucking LOVE Sam Rockwell

Ren Arrow he's hot
I think he should be higher on the list. His Janet Jackson moves were awesome..almost without effort.
Jo DG ~ Oh, but when JGL did "Yeah" on the same episode of LSB as he did "Rhythm Nation", it was Ohhh, YEAH! 😋

Benedict Cumberbatch showed off some dancing skills in the behind the scene moments of Star Trek. He should have been an honorable mention.

How could you not mention Alfonso's playing young Michael Jackson and dancing as him?
IKR?!?! Left out that 'small' detail...
Sam Rockwell was the perfect guy to play Bob Fosse. He pulled it off & Fosse was one of the greatest dancers ever.
Among those who've passed away, I'd include Alan Rickman & Elvis Presley.
For those still with us, I'd include Jason Isaacs.
