We are loving the return of Mark Kermode's Celluloid Jukebox, in which the famous film critic leads us on a very personal tour of the last 60 years of pop music in cinema.

The latest episode in the series, Pop Stars Turned Actors, celebrates musicians who've made the jump over to acting.

Here are seven more incredible stars who have gone from pop to popcorn.

Ok, so the Queen of Pop hasn't has the perfect Hollywood career. Guy Ritchie's Swept Away didn't win any Oscars, to put it lightly.

But of the 21 films under Madonna’s belt, none are as impressive as her sensitive, nuanced portrayal of Argentine political leader Eva Peron in the 1996 film adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Evita. The stunning performance won her a Best Actress Golden Globe.

The material girl is also to be found on the soundtracks of several movies, and sung the title track to 2002 Bond film Die Another Day - in which she also had a cameo as a fencing teacher called Verity.

One of the best-selling artists of all time - with 100 million record sales to her name - Olivia Newton-John was never going to star in just any old musical.

Her 1978 role opposite John Travolta as good-girl-gone-bad Sandy in legendary sing-a-long movie Grease turned her into one of film's most iconic characters.

She went on to star in romantic fantasy Xanadu and has many other acting credits to her name, but music has remained her first love. The smash success of Grease saw Olivia's music career soar ever higher – and cheeky 1981 track Physical became one of the biggest hits of the decade.

The Fab Four appeared together in five feature films, the best-loved of which is probably 1964’s Richard Lester directed extravaganza A Hard Day’s Night. Complete with a seminal Beatles soundtrack album, it’s a portal into Beatlemania and one of the most influential musical movies of all time.

While John, Paul, George and Ringo were only taxed with playing themselves, they still did a stellar job with the zany caper. Special, incidental mention must go to George Harrison and his production company HandMade Films, which gave us both Monty Python and Withnail and I.

From Ziggy Stardust to the Thin White Duke, David Bowie had already inhabited many wild and wonderful personas by the time Jim Henson’s 1986 musical fantasy film Labyrinth came about. Yet his star turn as the Goblin King Jareth is still something far out and fabulous to behold.

The film’s writer Terry Jones (of Monty Python fame) even rewrote the script after Bowie came on board, to give his character more screen time. While it flopped on cinema release, Bowie’s ambiguous charm has helped it become a cult hit ever since.

A previous seminal performance had come with another cult classic, The Man Who Fell To Earth, a 1976 British Sci Fi about an enigmatic alien descending into all-too-human chaos.

Bowie also had a sense of humour when it came to choosing his acting roles, showing up as himself in Ben Stiller's fashion world send-up Zoolander, and cheerfully humiliating Ricky Gervais with his and the unforgettable "Chubby Little Loser" song. And of course, who could forget his now-heartmelting introduction to Raymond Briggs' classic Christmas animation The Snowman?

While it perhaps wasn’t the hugest stretch for extremely talented singer Beyoncé to play on a role based on the equally musically-blessed Diana Ross, she still gave a debut in 2006 Motown drama Dream Girls her all

She revealed that she lost 20 pounds in two weeks on The Master Cleanse to play the super svelte Ross, surviving on a mixture of fresh lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper and water. It’s a wonder she had any energy left to act in the movie at all.

We also have fond memories of her debut movie role in 2002's guilty pleasure flick, Austin Powers in Goldmember.

Sure, for some he will always be the curly haired former boy-bander with a glass-shattering falsetto. But Justin Timberlake more than proved his serious acting chops when he appeared in David Fincher’s acclaimed 2010 Facebook drama, The Social Network.

While his smooth portrayal of web entrepreneur Sean Parker won him critical approval, Timberlake is still not shy of taking on a light-hearted family franchise – as proved by his recent voiceover role for Trolls.

She’s recently ridden high in the charts with Blondie’s latest album Pollinator, but the world’s most perennially cool rock chick Debbie Harry has also cut her teeth on some seriously decent film roles in her time.

Her acting career went mainstream with her role in Crash director David Cronenberg’s 1983 movie Videodrome. The wild horror saw Debbie vamp it up as a creepy psychiatrist in a movie about our addiction to sensation – and we can’t imagine a femme fatale more perfect for the role.
