Adrien Brody is another one of those actors that has the artistic range and truly cares about his craft. He won an Oscar in 2003 for his performance in The Pianist for Best Actor and violated our hopeful soon to be bride in Halle Berry while accepting his award. Despite having the nose of a toucan, Brody has starred in films like Houdini, Manolete, Cadillac Records, The Jacket, the updated King Kong, Predators, Splice, The Experiment, and so many more.
Even though Adrien Brody is a strange and unique looking man it hasn't stopped him from having a rather notorious doppelganger himself by the name of philosopher, John Locke. Locke is often referred to as the 'Father of Liberalism' and supposedly curated the theory of self-identity and knowledge of self which many revolutionists throughout history have referenced through their own movements. Honestly, sharing the looks of such a liberated thinker isn't that bad even if you do have the nose of a tropical bird-like Adrien Brody.
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.
