The Mexican actress on the television show, The Late Show with David Letterman has stated that she’s into eating insects , but no this isn’t something she’s practicing for taking part in a realty show like ‘Fear Factor ‘where one is forced to do such acts, but she does it because she’s very fond of this bizarre diet.
The 43 year old said she’s been eating insects since she was a child and that these delicacies were a part of her heritage. The stunning actress revealed that she found ants, worms and grass hoppers ‘delicious’.
The ‘Desperado’ star said that these delicacies were something that everyone should try. “These little ants fried are amazing with a little guacamole. And the worms, there are many different recipes for those. The little grasshoppers have a smoky flavour to them”, she went on to praise her taste. ‘It’s the way they cook them, and it’s really good.’
The fact that Hayek is very fond of this creepy diet was proved, when she further added that just talking about it had her ‘salivating’.
The award winning actress is married to 48 year old French fashion tycoon Francois-Henri and has a year old daughter with him. Hayek began her acting career in Mexico and shifted to Hollywood in the 1990’s. Her first Hollywood break was opposite Antonio Banderas in the movie Desperado and since then there’s no looking back for the star.
Hayek suffers from dyslexia and diabetes but this hasn’t prevented her from having a successful career in acting, direction and production. Guess the proteins in the worms keep her going.
But wonder how many ants does one have to eat to have a filling meal?
