There is a strange symmetry to Zachary Quinto and Eli Roth. Roth is best known for his horror movies, where he creates ghoulish characters and murderers. Quinto has spent much of his career doing movies or shows like 'American Horror Story', where he always seems to be playing murderers (although thankfully not on the Enterprise when he's playing Spock in 'Star Trek'! It's a wonder that the two have never worked together. Maybe it would be too confusing for everybody on set, because they really do look like brothers.
Roth does occasionally make appearances in front of the camera as well as behind it, but we suppose there's no great call for him to do it more often when Quinto is walking around with the same face and does the job better. He's so committed to the horror genre that despite working since 1998, he didn't release a film with a rating lower than 'R' until 2018!
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?
