Vince Vaughn's Hidden Talent Revealed in Nic Pizzolatto's Low-Key Debut LOS ANGELES - In a surprise turn of events, actor Vince Vaughn has showcased his singing skills in the low-key debut "Easy's Waltz," directed by acclaimed writer Nic Pizzolatto. The film, which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, marks a departure from Vaughn's typical comedic roles and highlights his hidden talent for crooning. According to Peter Debruge, Chief Film Critic for Variety, Vaughn's performance in "Easy's Waltz" is a game-changer. "Who knew Vince Vaughn could carry a tune?" Debruge asked in his review. "Turns out, the actor has been singing right under our noses for years, from the ironic Alanis Morissette cover he delivered in 'The Internship' to his cringy rendition of 'All the Gold in California' in 'Arkansas,' but it wasn't until 'Easy's Waltz' that it became clear Vaughn could've been a crooner in another life." "Easy's Waltz" tells the story of a cabaret crooner who has all but given up on Las Vegas when he receives a lucky break from Al Pacino.

In an interview with Variety, he joked about his singing skills. "I've always loved singing, but I never thought I'd get to do it in a film," he said. "It's been a dream come true." "Easy's Waltz" is currently playing at select theaters and will be released on streaming platforms soon.
