Alyssa Milano

The Charmed star was actually a teen pop sensation. Between 1989 and 1992, Alyssa, 51, put out four studio albums — Look in My Heart , Alyssa, Locked Inside a Dream and Do You See Me? — plus oodles of singles. While she never reached singing stardom in the United States, the actress was really big in Japan. “I even had a ‘best of’ album. I went platinum and debuted ahead of the Rolling Stones,”she recently shared.

Jackie Chan

Not all Jackie’s hits are of the kung fu variety — he’s also a music artist with more than 20 records and 100 songs in five languages. Among the titles? A Boy’s Life, Dragon’s Heart, Thank You and First Time. “I am not a professional singer, and I never imagined I would have released so many albums,” the martial arts master, 69, has said. “But I cannot let myself neglect this part of my work.”

Naomi Campbell

Naomi, 53, was already one of the world’s top models when she debuted her first — and only — full-length record, Baby Woman, in 1995. It was not a success. Reportedly, just 175 copies were purchased during the song collection’s first two weeks of availability (though it did eventually sell a million copies worldwide), and critics advised, “Don’t give up the day job, Naomi.” Ouch.

Tom Hardy

He’s a box-office heavyweight, but Tom once had rap star aspirations. “I started out rapping when I was 14 or 15,” he has said. “Because I come from a nice middle-class neighborhood, it was a very hard sell. And I wasn’t very good!” Despite that, the Dunkirk actor, 46, whose stage name was “Tommy No. 1,” and pal Edward “Eddie Too Tall” Tracy put together a mixtape, Falling on Your Arse in 1999. It was never officially released, though …

Brie Larson

At 16, Brie dropped an album many teens could relate to: Finally Out of P.E. “I just write about what I am actually going through in my real life,” the Marvels star, 34, said at the time. “My P.E. teacher didn’t like me at all, which was hard to deal with ’cause I was usually such a teacher’s pet. So when I found out I got my record deal, I was like, ‘Yes, I’m finally out of P.E.’” The release sold only 3,400 copies — but Brie now has an Oscar and an Emmy as consolation prizes.
