From Priyanka Chopra Jonas to Angelina Jolie to Beyonce: Celebs who admitted they can’t cook up a storm save their lives

From Hollywood to Bollywood, the acting fraternity is filled with celebrities who keep making headlines for being multi-talented. Be it acting or lending voice for a musical or even sports, almost all larger-than-life actors are blessed with their creative skills. However, surprisingly it’s not the same when it comes to cooking up a storm in the kitchen. While a few stars avidly share pictures of their culinary masterpieces on social media, a few might be connoisseurs of food but still can’t cook to save their lives. Whether it’s due to lack of time or interest or simply a choice, we totally respect their decision. If you are ready to find out, here’s a list of celebs who admitted that they can’t cook for themselves. From Priyanka Chopra Jonas to Angelina Jolie, this is quite a judgment-free list on World Food Day!
