Celebrity Headshots Before They Were Famous

START SLIDESHOW

Everybody has to start somewhere, and the same goes for Hollywood's megastars. When it comes to acting, you have to earn your keep and prove that you're talented before anyone will take you seriously. And the best way to do that is with a good agent and a good headshot.

Even the most famous actors in the world had to fight for attention with the perfect headshots and compete with others in auditions. It's bizarre to think that major stars such as Angelina Jolie and Al Pacino ever had to hustle for acting work. But they totally did and we love looking back at the photos.

We loved taking a look back at some of our favorite actors' headshots from before they were famous and we know you will too. Just wait until you see Lady Gaga's pre-fame photo, you will fall to the floor! And don't even get us started on how gorgeous Whitney Houston looks.

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.

II

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.

IV

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.
