As the so-called Naked Chef, Jamie has long since established himself as one of the most interesting and well-known chefs of his generation.

Though Jamie’s been off the market for quite some time now -- he married Juliette Norton (better known to TV viewers as Jools) in 2000 -- there’s simply no denying his widespread appeal with the ladies. Jamie’s quirky looks, coupled with his self-deprecating personality, have afforded him the reputation of someone who isn’t terribly impressed by material, superficial things. Add to that the fact that he can cook with the best of them, and it’s little wonder that Jamie is considered one of the hottest chefs in history.







Though Jamie will always be best-known in his native England, he has deftly established himself as a worldwide phenomenon thanks primarily to his matinee-idol looks and undeniable charisma. But there’s no doubt that his level of fame continues to climb as he opens more restaurants, writes more books and hosts more television shows. His willingness to take on a variety of paid endorsements for companies has raised his profile exponentially, although he has yet to make his North American commercial debut.





“There's a generation of parents out there who didn't learn to cook at school and now we're rapidly losing the skills that have been passed down through the generations and acted as a kind of safeguard to make sure we can feed ourselves properly.”
-Jamie Oliver, on the lack of proper eating habits among contemporary children.
