Nicole Kidman Makes Eating Insects Look Good

Nicole Kidman eats bugs.

96.9 WBTI isn’t spreading heinous rumors about the star. No, this isn’t an episode of Fear Factor. And it goes without saying that the Golden Globe winner hasn’t fallen on hard times!

Vanity Fair did an edition of their “Secret Talent Theatre” featuring Nicole Kidman where she revealed herself to be a big fan of “micro livestock” which is exactly what it sounds like: insects farmed for food. In the video, she informs viewers that 2 billion people practice the same eating habit, including her Big Little Lies co-star Shailene Woodley (Though to be fair, she already eats some pretty weird stuff). To drive her point home, she then goes on to eat a four-course meal of live hornworms and mealworms (pun intended?), crickets, and fried grasshoppers.

Check it out in the video below:

There’s a strong argument to be made about this being a practical eating habit that’s great for the environment, but a meal that still squirms would no doubt make more than a few people squirm.
