The 81-year-old, now starring in the Netflix thriller Zero Day, says it tasted like marshmallows when he tried it in the 1970s.

Arachno-foodie: Angelina Jolie ate fried spiders while in Cambodia, where they're a delicacy, with her children. The film star 49, who has an adopted son called Maddox from the country, has sampled bug-based dishes several times. Angelina says: "Crickets, you start with crickets. Crickets and a beer and then you kind of move up to tarantulas." She enjoys a cockroach too.
