Patrick Stewart's "star" quality

Patrick Stewart singing and dancing through the streets of LA:

What's new City of Angels?
I'm new, I wanna say I'm just a little stuck on you
You'll be on me too

I get out here, City of Angels
Stand back, you oughta know whatcha gonna get in me
Just a little touch of star quality

Fill me up with your heat, with your noise
With your dirt, overdo me
Let me dance to your beat, make it loud
Let it hurt, run it through me.
Don't hold back, you are certain to impress
Tell the driver this is where I'm staying

Hello, City of Angels
Get this, just look at me dressed up, somewhere to go
We'll put on a show

Take me in at your flood, give me speed
Give me lights, set me humming
Shoot me up with your blood, wine me up
With your nights, watch me coming
All I want is a whole lot of excess
Tell the singer this is where I'm playing

Stand back, City of Angels
Because you oughta know whatcha gonna get in me
Just a little touch of star quality

And if ever I go too far
It's because of the things you are
Beautiful town, I love you
And if I need a moment's rest
Give your lover the very best
Real eiderdown and silence.

You're a tramp, you're a treat
You will shine to the death, you are shoddy
But you're flesh, you are meat
You shall have every breath in my body
Put me down for a lifetime of success
Give me credit, I'll find ways of paying

El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora
la Reina de los Ángeles del Río de Porciúncula
All I want to know

Stand back, City of Angels
Because you oughta know whatcha gonna get in me
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of star quality

Could have changed it more, but I'm not good at changing lyrics.
 
I don't know why some people have "star" quality while others don't. I have a very clear memory of the first time I saw Patrick Stewart in a movie. It was 'Excalibur' which Wikipedia dates to 1981.

His IMDB listing does not show an appearance (possibly his first role in a movie?) and I think it was a very minor role, but still, when I saw the TNG pilot, I said to myself "that guy was in Excalibur."

I don't know what it is, but Patrick Stewart has it.

I read an interview by Connor Trinner where he said he knew who Stewart was before TNG because he was familiar with his stage work.
