If anyone were to choose to live their life in the public eye, they'd probably hope for the popularity and success of this guy, Brad Pitt. There isn't a woman he can't have and guys want to him. Plus, he's actually pretty good at what he does on the silver screen. The guy definitely has range when it comes to acting. From his Nazi scalp-peeling role as Aldo Raine in Inglorious Basterds to his flamboyant persona as Chad Feldheimer in Burn After Reading, Brad can execute his roles and he looks like he's having fun as a thespian. Brad might not have been too happy about some blown calls by the refs as the Rams skated past the Saints to make it to Super Bowl LIII over the weekend.
That's right, Brad Pitt is a superfan of the New Orleans Saints and he's even become comrades with Saints' quarterback, Drew Brees, who is a legend in his own right. Pitt and his ethnically diverse children have become fixtures on the sidelines at the Superdome. Brad Pitt might originally be from Oklahoma but New Orleans has graciously accepted him and his family as one of their own.
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.
