The Chicago Bears are one of the most recognizable football organizations in all of sports so, it's only right that their biggest celebrity fan is the most popular and recognizable comedians on the face of the earth in Bill Murray. Bill Murray is never afraid to show off his love for the city of Chicago. He was in attendance throughout the Chicago Cubs World Series run during 2016 and has been a long-time fan of the Chicago Bears. The Evanston native is most known for his roles in Caddyshack, Stripes, Ghostbusters and Groundhog Day.
He has won two Primetime Emmy awards and was nominated for Best Actor for his work in Lost in Translation by the Academy Awards. He and his brothers were spotted at a Bears game in 2018 singing their own version of "Bear Down, Chicago Bears" before the contest began. As a youth, Bill Murray was able to witness what is arguably the greatest football team ever assembled in the '85 Chicago Bears win Super Bowl XX. And he might be able to watch the franchise scoop up another Lombardi Trophy in the near future if the team continues to get better as they made a semi-decent run in this year's NFL Playoffs.
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.
