Celebrity chef/fitness trainer/spiritual leader Jesse Brune certainly has a lot on his plate.

When he’s not cooking on OWN’s Home Made Simple, the openly-gay Seattle native, who now calls Los Angeles home, is likely to be providing nourishment for the soul -- either through his organization, Project Service L.A. or through a series of thought-provoking vignettes he calls “My Life. Redefined.”

Hollywood up-and-comer Jesse Brune wears many hats, one of which happens to be a chef’s hat on OWN’s Home Made Simple -- and that’s just one reason why he’s landed on Radar’s “One To Watch” list. 

The handsome, openly gay Seattle native came to Hollywood at 19, hoping to make it as an actor. He found some success, but at 24, he got a hard lesson in the realities of Hollywood when his advisers told him to go back into the closet in order to win bigger roles. He refused.
