10. Bill Murray

10. Bill Murray

We would need a lot more paragraphs to even begin to touch on all the movie masterpieces that Bill Murray has been a part of over his four decades as one of Hollywood's most recognized actors. Just the mention of "Bill Murray" brings a flood of movie titles and roles to mind: "Caddyshack" (1980), "Ghostbusters" I and II (1984 and 1989), "Groundhog Day" (1993), and so many more!

Now in his late-60s, Bill Murray is best known for his deadpan brand of comedic delivery, as well as being a recognizable face on bumper stickers all over North America. But little did you know that this Hollywood A-Lister was once arrested and convicted for attempting to smuggle 10 pounds of cannabis on his 20th birthday on a flight from Chicago's O'Hare Airport. And the reason he got caught? He joked to the passenger beside him that he was smuggling drugs! Good thing he decided to put his talent for cracking jokes to better use as an actor!

Did You Know...

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.

IV

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.
