Of course, the daughter of Ric Flair has just as much swag as he did during his prime years in the ring. As a second-generation pro-wrestler, Charlotte Flair was made to be a superstar in the WWE just like her father. The funny thing about Charlotte's legacy so far is that she actually might be a more fundamentally sound wrestler than Ric Flair. While Ric was showboating in alligator-skin shoes and flashing Rolexes, he wasn't the most athletic wrestler during his stint in pro-wrestling. His daughter, on the other hand, can do it all. Turning standing Suplexes into Neckbreakers, executing multiple Push-Up Headscissor Slams with ease, and closing out matches with her front flipping finisher, the Natural Selection there isn't anything Charlotte isn't willing to do in the ring.
In 2012, Charlotte Flair entered the WWE under their developmental program making an instant impact winning the NXT Championship and being named Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI) Rookie of the Year in 2014. The following year, Flair was added to the WWE's main roster where she was the final holder of the WWE Divas Championship, the 4x winner and inaugural holder of the RAW Women's Championship, and a 5x Smackdown Women's Championship holder making her a ten-time record-setting WWE Champion on the main roster. Flair also became one of the first women, alongside Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch to headline a Wrestlemania event. Honestly, Charlotte is filling the shoes of her father just fine.
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.
