I think we can chalk this up as another entry in the 'everybody thinks redheads look alike' list. Apparently, Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard are regularly mistaken for one another, even though there isn't a particularly strong facial resemblance. Who'd have thought that so many people identify people they see by their hair before they look at anything else?
Both Chastain and Howard have actually worked together in the past, with both of them appearing in 'The Help'. They both dyed their hair for their respective parts. We're not sure if that was done because the parts called for it, or because their co-stars and the audience would have struggled to identify the characters if they didn't! Chastain came into acting through the famed and prestigious Juilliard School in New York, whereas Howard was born to do what she does; she's the daughter of director and 'Happy Days' star Ron Howard.
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?
