Five Actors/Actresses Who Are Also Metalheads

Famous people like heavy metal. It’s true. I have proof! Here are five actors and actresses who you may not know are actually metalheads.

1. Jack Black
It’s fairly common knowledge that Jack Black is a metalhead, but I still had to include him on this list. Black and his goofy pal, Kyle Gas, started a very notorious comedy metal group called Tenacious D. In case you have been living in a bubble, some of Tenacious D’s badass music is down below.


2. Nicholas Cage
Most people don’t know that Cage’s son was the singer of a black metal band called Eyes of Noctum. They aren’t a very good group, but Cage was always very supportive of his son’s musical endeavors. Cage has never talked about being a metalhead in public, but it’s natural to assume that he is one, right? Man, I hope so.


3. Jim Carrey
Who could forget the classic moment when Cannibal Corpse popped up in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective? Most people don’t realize that Carey himself actually organized the band’s appearance in the film. He was a fan and wanted to give the band some exposure. If that’s not super awesome, then I don’t know what is. Mad props go out to Mr. Carrey.


4. Jada Pinkett Smith
Yeah, so around the time that nu metal was cool, Mrs. Smith thought it would be a great idea to start a metal band. Apparently she had been a fan of the genre and felt it was time to declare her taste for it to the world. Her band, Wicked Wisdom, wasn’t very good, but Smith definitely made a decent metal vocalist. She took control of the stage and went on a few tours, where she wasn’t booed off of it. So that’s an achievement, right? Anyways, recently Wicked Wisdom has shown signs of further activity by releasing a new song. My guess is that there is more to come from the band so be on the lookout for a new album or tour or something.


5. Danielle Fishel
I’m going to be honest with you all--this entire post was inspired by the girl who played Topanga on Boy Meets World. Fishel was recently spotted wearing a Lamb of God shirt. That’s right--Lamb of God. That’s a heavy band right there. Pictures also indicate that Fishel is also a Slipknot fan. With all of this evidence, one must conclude that the crush of every boy growing up in the 1990s is indeed a metalhead. How cool is that?
