Chloe Grace Moretz is the very picture of success. After launching her career at age seven with a role in The Amityville Horror, Moretz has only continued to rise through the ranks of Hollywood. Like Mason Vale Cotton, she is also a graduate of the Desperate Housewives series - she played Sherri Maltby on the show.
As a child actor, she also starred in The Poker House, (500) Days of Summer, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Let Me In, Kick-Ass, Kick-Ass 2, Hugo, Carrie, If I Stay, and The Equalizer, amongst others. Since becoming an adult three years ago, she has continued to land awesome film roles, including The 5th Wave and Neighbors 2, as well as various roles in theater productions. It seems like Moretz is going to achieve even more success as she gains more experience.
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?
