Natalia Tena (Nymphadora Tonks)

Natalia Tena (Nymphadora Tonks)

Nymphadora Tonks, aside from having a strong contender for the greatest name in the entire Harry Potter franchise, is a "metamorphamagus", which basically means she can alter her appearance any time she likes. We think some of that must have rubbed off on actor Natalia Tena, who's changed so much down the years it might just be down to magic.

A performer with a flair for the epic, she's toured with the Royal Shakespeare Company playing a major role in "Othello", and gave a fearsome performance as Osha in Game of Thrones where she was almost unrecognizable from her Harry Potter days. Keep an eye on the British underground music scene, though, and you may find her singing and playing accordion with her band Molotov Jukebox in a venue near you. Her Instagram account shows us a stylish girl who changes her hair color as often as she changes her clothes, and a strong love of the unusual.

Did You Know...

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.
