We're going to be honest here - we don't know whether Cara Delevingne was being serious when she expressed her distaste for the character of Margo Roth Spiegelman in 'Paper Towns' during an interview, or whether she was just joking around with reporters. Actors have to do dozens - sometimes hundreds - of interviews in support of a film. Eventually, they get bored of being asked the same question, and start to give sarcastic answers.
In the case of Delevingne, she responded to a question about whether her character was much like her real-life persona with "No. I actually hate her." There was laughter in the room - albeit nervous laughter - and the interview carried on. As it turned out, the producers of the movie weren't all too pleased with Delevingne's careless answer, and let her know about it in no uncertain terms. If she didn't really dislike the part before, we bet she does now.
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?
