Zach Galifianakis has emerged to be one of the funniest men in Hollywood in recent years and for obvious reasons. His oddly shaped dad bod-inspired pot belly, messy hair, and mannerisms are worth a smirk alone but he has the comedic personality of a superstar which has propelled him into the Hollywood elite. After his breakout performance in the Hangover series which began in 2009, various amounts of movie offers began to roll in including, Due Date alongside Robert Downey Jr., The Campaign, Dinner for Schmucks, and even more serious roles in movies like the critically acclaimed Birdman and A Wrinkle In Time.
Galifianakis is another actor who has quite the prestigious look-a-like in the legendary French designer Louis Vuitton who is renowned for his self-named leather goods brand. Vuitton was originally appointed as a trunk maker for the wife of Napoleon III and became an insanely popularized brand throughout the years and now, Louis Vuitton is one of the biggest and respected brands today. Which makes this doppelganger combination all the more hilarious because people are buying high priced products from a guy who looks like Zach Galifianakis.
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? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
