His southern accent sounds exactly the same as he rolls through the script before he shows off his vocal talents. Dressed in a fringy white cowboy outfit, he tries to win over the heart of his co-star while dealing with a group of smitten young women. This was probably good practice for the now superstar, who regularly draws thousands of screaming female fans to his sold-out shows each year.
Even in his early years, it's obvious that Bryan held a natural singing talent that would later catapult him to the top of the charts. Thankfully, he switched out the shiny theatre attire for a more casual t-shirt and jeans look since his high school days.
Watch the video below to travel back in time and see a charismatic Luke Bryan win over the crowd at his local high school.
