Carina Damm is another fighter from the country that invented a lot of the moves and techniques featured in MMA - Brazil. She is 39-years old, making her one of the oldest female fighters to be featured in this list. She is still fighting, meaning she is showing no signs of wanting to retire anytime soon. Her stats are the following: she is 5'4" tall (which is 162.56 cm) and she weighs 135 pounds, which amounts to 61.23 kg in the metric system.
She is from the small village of Villa Velha in Brazil, which makes her rise to fame in the US even more of a spectacular success. She had to fight in local tournaments in Brazil for many years before she got invited to local championships abroad. She also has a long history of winning - she has 23 wins in total. Apart from that, she also has 14 losses and zero draws. She has scored a knockout in 30% of all of her winning fights.
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?
