How TaronEgerton, Renee Zellweger and more faced the challenge of crooning a tune in their roles
David Hindley/Roadside Attractions; Wilson Webb/Netflix; David Appleby/Paramount PicturesNoah Baumbach had a plan, and it involved getting his top-billed actors to sing Stephen Sondheim in his divorce drama. "I kind of half-joked that I reverse engineered the movie so that the two of them could sing those songs," the director joked about stars Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson.
" Yes, Driver really is singing. "Where Noah put it in the script I thought was really beautiful writing," Driver says. the actor already had sung one of his songs on the big screen. Egerton's belting rendition of "I'm Still Standing" in the 2016 animated movie actually put him in contention for the part. Recordings of him singing "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" and "Your Song" then helped seal the deal with Paramount.

‘C’mon, C’mon,’ Says Matt Damon Desperately Searching For Own Name On List Of IMDB User Dolphinsoul60’s Top 100 ActorsLOS ANGELES—Saying “No, no, no” to himself as he worked his way down the page, a desperate Matt Damon reportedly spent Thursday fervently searching for his name on IMDB user Dolphinsoul60’s list, “Top 100 Actors.” “Jason Bateman...Chris Evans…Gene Hackman? C’mon, c’mon, Dolphinsoul60. Where is your boy?” said the Hollywood leading man to himself, pausing only to take a look at number 54 on the list, but slamming his fist after seeing it was “Matt Dillon” and not “Matt Damon.” “Harry Dean Stanton is on here? Jesus Christ. I get it if I’m not in the top 10, but you’d think I’d at least be top 100. Have they even seen Good Will Hunting? Maybe I just missed it.
