To all the men out there, let your lady step out with their friends to go see the latest Channing Tatum film but, never let her attend an event where the strapping multi-millionaire is set going to be located, it could be the end of your relationship. Surprisingly, Tatum got his big break with the release of the dance film, Step Up in 2006 and since then has gone on to star in a wide array of films including the Hateful Eight, This Is The End, G.I. Joe, the rebooted 21 Jump Street series, and of course, the Magic Mike films as well. Heck, Tatum even has some voiceover work done for The Legos Movies series as well, there isn't a revenue stream in Hollywood that Tatum doesn't have his hand in.
But what he doesn't have his hand in is the reality his World War I doppelganger had to face. Who knows what type of vile carnage that man had to endure and witness, there's no telling on whether or not he made it through battle but with Tatum existing today, there's a good chance he either survived or had a younger brother with strong genes to keep hope alive.
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?
