Mark Wahlberg is easily one of the most recognizable faces and famous people walking this planet. There isn't a movie role he can't lock in and his Walhburger fast food franchise officially has reached a total of 26 locations. Mark Wahlberg is truly living the American dream, he's a winner and he only supports winners which is why he's known as the New England Patriots top-ranking celebrity fan. Marky Mark might reside in Los Angeles, California but his heart remains in his hometown of Boston, Massachusetts and it shows in regards to the sports franchises he's a fan of.
Strangely, Mark is a partial owner of sports franchise of his own. Unfortunately, the team isn't based in his hometown of Boston but rather in the Caribbean. Mark Wahlberg owns a cricket franchise by the name of the Barbados Tridents. We're not sure if they're any good but, we do know that the Patriots are going to their third straight Super Bowl after taking out the Chiefs this past weekend. Both Tom Brady and Mark Wahlberg are beasts at what they do so, it only makes sense the two are friends as well.
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?
