Did you know that Academy Award-winning actress Halle Berry plays the flute? Or that Patrick Dempsey placed second in a national juggling competition? Some celebrities are even more talented than we thought! Here, we reveal Hollywood royalty's most surprising hidden talents.
Justin Bieber: Rubik's Cube Expert
Turns out Justin Bieber has even more tricks up his sleeve! The 17-year-old heartbreaker can solve a Rubik's Cube in less than a minute and a half. In fact, last year on a Spanish TV show, Bieber solved the cube puzzle in just one minute and 23 seconds!
Patrick Dempsey: Competition Juggler
Patrick Dempsey, aka McDreamy, aka the kid from Can't Buy Me Love, is an avid juggler. Seriously! The 45-year-old actor used to be a champion juggler before his acting career took off-tying for second place in a national competition as a teen.

Colin Farrell: Line Dance Instructor
When you think of Colin Farrell, you probably don't think of country music. Think again! In the early 1990s, the Irish actor spent eight months touring his home country as a country western line-dancing instructor-complete with cowboy hat, vest and bandana. If only there were photos....
Jennifer Garner: Saxophonist
Not only is Jennifer Garner a versatile actress and mother of two (with another one on the way!) she's also a secret saxophonist. The 13 Going on 30 actress was an unashamed member of her high school band, telling People Magazine: "I was proud of it."
Halle Berry: Flutist
Bet you didn't know that Oscar winner Halle Berry is also a talented flutist. The Monster's Ball actress used to play in high school and if the rumors are to be believed, she was actually quite good!
Christopher Walken: Dancer
Christopher Walken has played a long list of memorable characters-but if you haven't seen him in the Weapon of Choice video by Fatboy Slim, then you haven't seen his biggest talent of all: dancing. Trust us, watch it now.
Shakira: Golfer
Shakira's hips aren't just for shaking on stage-they're also swinging side-to-side during her regular rounds of golf. That's right: the Columbian pop star revealed earlier this year that she's a big fan of golf and even showed off her tremendous putting skills in a video blog.
David Arquette: Knitter
According to well-known knitting author Edith Eig, Hollywood dad David Arquette is an avid knitter. You read that correctly! Courteney Cox's estranged husband is a former client of Eig's and apparently knows his way around some yarn and needles.
Geena Davis: Pro Archer
Thelma & Louise actress Geena Davis shocked Hollywood when, in 2000, she made it to the Olympic trials in archery-just two years after she picked up the sport! And though she didn't make the final Sydney Olympic team, it was the first time she revealed her hidden talent to the public.
