There are some disturbing scientific truths afoot. They say that by the year 2050 the sea level will rise by twelve inches and we'll have one million Marvel movies. Maybe not that many, but it feels that way, doesn't it? I'm not even complaining even. If anything it's just shocking and impressive.
Once you're part of something as huge as the Marvel universe, it's hard for fans to see you as anything other than your character. That can be an awesome thing since it means that fans love you and are paying attention to you. Hopefully that doesn't manifest into stalking (or at least that's what my lawyer nervously tells me).
As much as we love the characters, if you're a fan it's important to get to know the real people behind the masks. Here are some of the real-life Marvel women, as well as the famous characters they play. Wait until you see Nebula, she is a total stunner in real life! Don't tell my girlfriend!
Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.
Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.
Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite?
