James Marsden Steals the Show with Surprise 'Piano Man' Performance in Austin
Imagine stepping into a cozy, dimly lit karaoke bar on a regular Tuesday night, only to find Hollywood star James Marsden belting out Billy Joel’s classic hit, “Piano Man.” That’s exactly what happened at Ego’s, a well-known karaoke hotspot in Austin, where the 51-year-old actor gave an unforgettable performance that had the crowd buzzing.
Marsden, best known for his roles in films like 27 Dresses (2008) and The Notebook (2004), took the stage with a friend for a fun and lively duet of the 1973 classic. But he didn’t just stand there and sing—he put on a show. Dropping to one knee, theatrically waving the mic stand, and even miming playing invisible piano keys, Marsden fully embraced the moment before exclaiming, “Let me have a piano!” The crowd couldn’t get enough.

Fans who missed out on the moment are now living vicariously through a TikTok video capturing his performance. The clip has already gained thousands of likes and shares, with commenters expressing their envy and excitement. “Omg I wish he did ‘Bennie & the Jets’ like in 27 Dresses ,” one user wrote, while another joked, “Corny Collins is singing again!!” referencing his role in Hairspray (2007). The original poster even revealed that Marsden and his friend later performed “Shallow” from A Star is Born , though unfortunately, their phone died before they could record it.
This isn’t the first time Marsden has made headlines in Austin. Having purchased a home in the Commons Ford area back in 2022, the actor has spoken fondly of the city, calling it a place with a “small-town feel” in an interview on Live with Kelly and Ryan . Clearly, he’s settled in comfortably and isn’t shy about embracing Austin’s nightlife.
While his surprise karaoke performance delighted fans, Marsden has also been making waves professionally. Recently, he was confirmed to reprise his iconic role as Cyclops in Avengers: Doomsday , marking his return to the superhero spotlight. With Marvel fans eagerly anticipating how his character will fit into the ever-expanding MCU, his return has sparked discussions about the X-Men’s long-awaited integration into the franchise.
For now, though, Marsden seems to be enjoying life in Austin, letting loose and showing off his impressive vocal chops. Whether he’s leading the X-Men or commanding a karaoke stage, one thing is clear—James Marsden knows how to put on a show.
