Zeta-Jones works in restaurant for movie role

Catherine Zeta-Jones has been working in a restaurant as research for her new movie.

The 37-year-old will play a top chef in No Reservation but insists she needed the real life research after setting fire to a pan the first time she tried to cook a meal for her husband Michael Douglas.

And the Welsh actress is determined to leave her superstar baggage behind in her new job.

She says: "I worked the kitchen as well as the floor. I had some of the worst clients, the really arrogant ones."
