Daniel Bryan has been a fan-favorite since his resurgence into the WWE scene in 2009. His 'Yes Movement' has captivated audiences across the nation and the globe as he continues to prove that he's here to stay as one of the most elite wrestlers of this current generation. Still, it wasn't easy for Bryan to make his way to the top after rising from the NXT stables and suffering multiple injuries and even was forced into retirement due to medical issues (seizures due to multiple concussions and a brain lesion) in February 2016.
However, Bryan has since then committed himself to return to the ring in March 2018 and is currently in his fourth WWE Championship reign. Over this past decade, there isn't an accomplishment Daniel Bryan hasn't been able to achieve whether it be World Heavyweight Champion (1x), WWE United States Champion (1x), WWE Intercontinental Champion (1x), or WWE Tag Team Champion (1x). Daniel Bryan is paving a way for himself and if he can continue to stay healthy, the sky is the limit.
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.
