Actress
Catherine
Zeta-Jones
might
be
playing
a
first-class
chef
in
her
latest
movie,
but
the
actress
confessed
that
in
real
life
she
is
a
bit
of
a
flop
when
it
comes
to
culinary
skills.
Catherine,
who
plays
a
chef
in
'No
Reservations,'
revealed
that
she
had
a
very
"intimidating" experience
while
researching
for
her
part
in
a
busy
Manhattan
restaurant.
"It
was
very
intimidating.
I
was
terrified
I
was
going
to
cut
myself
or
burn
myself.
But
I
started
off
slicing,
chopping,
dicing
and
sauteing,
and
in
a
few
days
I
felt
a
lot
more
comfortable," the
Mirror
quoted
her,
as
saying.
"I
am
in
the
kitchen
every
day
-
well,
just
walking
through
it.
My
husband
said
that
this
role
was
the
biggest
stretch
I've
ever
had
as
an
actress
because
it
puts
me
in
the
kitchen,"
she
added.
The
34-year-old
actress
said
that
apart
from
learning
a
few
cooking
skills,
she
also
picked
up
a
rather
bizarre
crush.
"There's
something
very
sexy
about
a
man
in
an
apron,
clothes
on
or
off.
Come
on,
we
all
fantasise
about
a
naked
guy
in
a
pinny
when
all
you
see
is
his
little
tush
leaning
over
a
stove," she
said.
