Sid Vicious also known as Sycho Sid or Sid Justice is one of the most dominant presences ever to enter the professional WWE ring. Standing at 6'9", Sid Vicious was not only physically large, but his athletic ability also put him in a category by himself during his era of wrestling in the 1990s. Vicious was another one of those wrestling personalities that walked the thin line of being a heel or a face, which allowed him to star in the main event of two Wrestlemania. The first being in Wrestlemania VIII against Hulk Hogan and the second in Wrestlemania XIII as a champion against The Undertaker.
Strangely, one of Sid's most memorable wrestling moments came when he was a member of the WCW roster. In 2001, the executives of the wrestling organization suggested that Sid implement more acrobatic moves to his combat arsenal. While he was opposed to it, he attempted a big boot move from the second turnbuckle which resulted in him snapping his tibia and fibula on his left leg on live television. The scene was so graphic, television stations refused to re-air the injury.
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?
