Treading The Boards

Darius Danesh left Popstars way behind to take to the stage as Rhett Butler in the West End production of Gone With The Wind. Darius is one of many stars ditching their day jobs to tread the boards in the West End or on Broadway.

Katie Holmes famously received rave reviews for her appearance in All My Sons, a play set during World War II, and the gallery below showcases other celebrities who have tread the boards including Matt Damon, Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Spacey.
