When you have a name as unusual and unique as 'Chord Overstreet', you'd expect people to be able to identify you quite easily. Unfortunately for Overstreet, he was born into the same world as Austin Butler, at around the same time. The windswept blond hairstyle that both men go for doesn't really help people tell them apart, either.
They even have similar hobbies and routes into stardom. Both of them came to prominence through the world of acting but are actually musicians at heart. Overstreet used 'Glee' as a vehicle to bag himself a recording contract, and although a lot of people Butler was also part of that cast, he wasn't. He's appeared as a singer within "iCarly" but is yet to release anything in his own right. If you need a pointer in telling them apart, Overstreet has the fuller face, whereas Butler still has younger, boyish features, although both of them are pin up icons for teenage girls.
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?
