One might anticipate that Angelina Jolie’s sons, Maddox and Pax, would have developed a rather exotic taste in food, given that their parents are millionaires.
This assumption is confirmed by their mother, the Hollywood actress, who has disclosed that her boys have a liking for dried crickets.
During a trip to Cambodia, the 36-year-old introduced her children to this Southeast Asian delicacy.
Initially, she needed to coax her sons into trying the insects, but they quickly became so fond of them that Angelina had to impose restrictions on how many they could eat.
In a video recorded for Louis Vuitton’s Core Values campaign in Cambodia, she stated, ‘My boys love to eat crickets. It’s their favourite thing.
‘At first, I wanted them to embrace something from their culture and not be put off by it. They munched on them like Doritos, and they wouldn’t stop.
‘They even took home to-go boxes, and I had to actually ban the cricket munching at one point because I was concerned they’d get sick from overindulging.’
While crickets are a common feature in the Jolie-Pitt household, the actress mentioned that her family’s adventurous appetites do not extend to other Cambodian specialties, such as tarantulas on a stick or spider soup.
She remarked, ‘I don’t know if I can get past the fur, but you have to try everything.’
Nonetheless, insects are not new to Angelina’s diet; as noted in the book, What the Great Ate: A Curious History of Food and Fame, she is
also known to enjoy cockroaches.
In a separate note, an unauthorized book is making headlines regarding the relationship between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
This book highlights the past of a Hollywood producer who was once an Israeli secret agent and claims he observed the connection between Brad and Angelina blossoming on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith, during Brad’s marriage to Jennifer Aniston.
According to Confidential: The Life of Secret Agent Turned Hollywood Tycoon Arnon Milchan, authored by Joseph Gelman and Meir Doron, ‘Milchan introduced Pitt to Jolie and immediately felt a spark between them.’
Despite numerous denials from the couple regarding the timing of their romance in relation to Brad’s separation from Aniston, the book posits: ‘A passionate romance ensued, with one slight issue… Pitt was still married to Aniston…when Aniston asked Pitt to leave, chaos ensued.’
Additionally, the book claims Milchan recounted, ‘When I learned that Brad had left home… I offered him a place to stay at my Malibu residence. He rode his motorcycle to the set… wearing a wrap-around helmet with a tinted visor to avoid being recognized.’
