Chrissy Teigen, who is known for creating recipes that are not exactly low-fat, is getting frustrated with her husband recently. The model revealed that John Legend will soon be difficult to cook for because he's planning on fasting for his shirtless scene in Jesus Christ Superstar! Click through for more details.
“Well right now, cooking is hard, cooking for Jesus, as I like to say, now that John is rehearsing for Jesus Chris Superstar,” Chrissy, 32, told Us Weekly. John is starring in the upcoming NBC live production of the musical.
“I’m not supposed to be on my feet that much, so cooking is tough," the pregnant model continued. "I just get tired! But luckily, I’ve just entered that phase that my belly can’t fit as much food in it, which is great. And John has been rehearsing and he’s going to start fasting soon because he has a shirtless scene.”
Her 39-year-old singer/songwriter husband is apparently going all in on this performance. “He’s taken this role so seriously," she said. "I don’t know how Broadway people do it. It’s all encompassing. I was at rehearsal yesterday and the amount of themselves and work they put it, it’s so much work. I feel like they should do a full run, it’s only one show!"

"But I won’t be cooking for Jesus since he’ll be on a fast," she added. The performance, Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert!, will air April 1 at 8/7c.
“I’m thrilled to join the cast of this production of Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert!," John said in December last year. "It’s such powerful, meaningful musical and I’m humbled to be part of this performance. We’ve already formed an incredible team, and, as we finish casting, I’m certain we will put together some of the greatest talents around to do this work justice.”
