Many men grow up worrying about losing their hair. If you know someone who's worried about it right now, show them this picture. Bruce Willis just looks weird with hair. Without it, he's an all-action tough guy. It's not just what's on top of his head which makes the young Willis appear a little odd here though; why can't he bring himself to look at the camera? Is there something fascinating going on in the corner of the room? Maybe he's just seen a mirror.
Willis grew up with a stutter, but is yet another example of a performer who took acting classes to get over it, and then progressed from there into becoming a professional actor. His career-defining role was John McClane in 'Die Hard,' (a role he's still threatening to come back to), but he also famously chilled us all when he worked with a little boy who could see dead people in 'The Sixth Sense.' He has something of a reputation for being difficult to work with, but it hasn't stopped him from becoming a legend.
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.
