Even though Matt Damon is nearing 50-years-old, he still appears to be the go-to actor for most major motion film studios. His work in Good Will Hunting and Saving Private Ryan solidified his spot as one of the best actors of this generation while his participation in films like The Good Shepherd, The Informant!, the Ocean's Eleven franchise, the Bourne Identity movies, have made him a household name. At times, it seems like Damon plays the same recurring characters but yet shows range by participating in movies like Eurotrip, Stuck On You, and the underwhelming Jersey Girl.
What's scary to think about though, is Matt might be a relative to the enemies of our World War II allies. Whether or not, Matt Damon's possible relation to a Nazi general, he's done a lot to entertain the masses throughout multiple decades here in America. Let's just keep this one at face value and hope that this guy is just a look-a-like and not a possible ancestor of Matt Damon.
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.
