Marvel should probably stop casting people called 'Chris' in their superhero movies, it just confuses their audience. Chris Pratt and Chris Evans have both appeared on the big screen as larger than life characters, but who played who? Want us to help you out? Pratt is the man you've seen playing Peter Quill, or 'Star-Lord'. You'll know Evans better as Captain America. Given that Evans' part is arguably a higher profile one than Pratt's, it must be pretty annoying for Pratt when people get them the wrong way around. We're sure he'd love to be Captain America. But then who wouldn't?
In recent times, Pratt has helpfully grown a beard, which makes it easier for us to tell them apart. Even that isn't always successful though. In an episode of 'Billy in the Street', Pratt was yet again mistaken for Evans by a fan. Maybe Evans should just wear his costume all the time. There would be no risk of mistaken identity then.
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?
