A whole lot of rock and roll went into the creation of Lily-Rose Depp. Her mother Vanessa Paradis is an actor, model, singer and songwriter who was a worldwide child star with a song she released before she was old enough to leave school. Her father is celebrated Hollywood superstar and bad boy Johnny Depp. Considering all of that, LIly-Rose looks surprisingly normal.
You could almost mistake her for a regular high school girl here in her prom photo, with natural makeup and pink velvet gown, but she's got superstar potential inside her, and has already started her acting career, with movie roles in her own right, as well as the modeling work we've come to expect from all our celebrity children. She struggled with an eating disorder in her teenage years, but we're pleased to report that she's fully recovered from it and become the happy, smiling young woman seen in this image.
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?
