Who knew Saturday Night Live star Bowen Yang is pretty hot in the kitchen too?

Hopping on the phone for PEOPLE’s One Last Thing page, Yang, 33, who will star in the highly anticipated Wicked movie musical this November, revealed the last thing he discovered about himself: “I really enjoy cooking.”

“On a Sunday I’ll just pop a chicken in the oven and roast it, and that’s dinner,” he says in this week’s issue. “It feels kind of chic and a little British.”

The actor/comedian, who lends his voice to the new animated Garfield Movie and co-hosts the Las Culturistas podcast with Matt Rogers, shared a few more of his “lasts”:

Last time I danced
With some friends the week before last. It was a pretty pedestrian hang. It’s New York. You’re never far away from a dance opportunity.

Last moment of self-care
I’m a big proponent of a bubble bath, and I have the Jessica Alba Honest Baby Bubble Bath that is meant for infants, but it works on me, a grown man. It’s my Sunday ritual.

Last curse word I used
The F-word really does cover all bases. If you’re happy, frustrated, you need an extra syllable or two to really get your point across . . . as long as it’s not poisonous and directed at someone.

Last fashion disaster
There was a moment when everybody wore a sheer top that showed off a little bit of skin. I have two of those in my closet, and that’s three too many.
