It’s a well-established fact that Nicole Kidman has discerning taste when it comes to food — who can forget, after all, her critique of Food Network star Giada DeLaurentiis’ apparently subpar pizza — but it appears that the Big Little Lies actor’s cravings skew towards the wild side.
In a Vanity Fair video, Kidman reveals that her “hidden talent is eating microlivestock,” which basically means that Nicole Kidman has a knack for tossing down bugs, something that she sweetly reminds viewers, is something that “2 billion people in this world” do.
To prove her point, Kidman delicately polishes off a four-course meal consisting of live hornworms (“moist, chewy, can’t quite describe the flavor”); live mealworms (“that is a fruity taste”); crickets (“like nothing you’ve ever tasted…like a hairy nut”); and finally, fried grasshoppers, which Kidman heartily endorsed (“these are amazing…exquisite”).
“I’m telling you, I’d win survivor,” she said between bites of mealworms. Can’t argue with that.
