Watch a Young Christoph Waltz Sing His Spandex Off

Christoph Waltz took home the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor at this year's Oscars for his role as a dentist-turned-bounty-hunter in Django Unchained.

But prior to becoming the charming, Oscar-snagging performer he is today -- Waltz won the same award in 2009 for Inglorious Basterds -- the Austrian actor dabbled in song.

The video above, taken from a 1977 episode of the Austrian children's show At the Dam, shows a 21-year-old Waltz's more theatrical (and undeniably fashionable) side of performing. Striped leotard aside, he's still pretty charming.

What were your favorite moments from last night's show? Tell us below.
