Macho Man Randy Savage is one of the most cherished, eclectic, and respected personalities in all of wrestling. Savage's over-the-top persona, flashy apparel, and vocal cadence have surpassed recognition in just the pro-wrestling world, he's become a pop culture figure that everyone has come to know and love. Inside the ring, Macho Man, was now for overpowering his opponents, outside of the ring he is arguably the greatest monologue deliverer pro-wrestling has ever seen.
As the headliner of multiple Wrestlemania's, Randy Savage ultimately ended his wrestling career as a four-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, two-time WWF World Heavyweight Champion, one-time Intercontinental Champion, 1989 King of the Ring Winner, and posthumous WWE Hall of Fame inductee in 2015. Randy Savage passed away at the age of 58-years-old due to suffering a fatal heart attack while driving in 2011. His passing shook the world, but his impact and wrestling legacy will live on forever.
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.
