Celebrities that eat bugs don’t all do it for the right reason. Which is a shame, because celebrities are often trendsetters in today’s society. Like it or not, famous people can have a lot of influence even if one doesn’t read celeb gossip magazines. Now, I am a big fan of entomophagy because it is a much greener protein source than chicken, pork, and beef. While a large part of the world munches on insects as part of their regular diet, Western cultures turn up their nose at this healthy, delicious, eco-friendly food.
Even though many people love sea-food and will gladly dig into a large plate of crayfish or shrimp, they find insects yucky. But unlike a crayfish that needs its head, legs, and intestines taken out before you take a bite, grasshoppers and other insects are eaten whole. Lobsters are also quite similar to insects and they are literally considered the cockroach of the ocean. I won’t even dive too deep into the crap that is inside an oyster – the ocean’s natural filtration system.
“An adult oyster can filter as much as 50 gallons of water a day.”

Yet, growing up, our parents pushed these gross sea-creatures into our plates. At the same time, they slapped the worms right out of our mouths saying, ‘no, don’t eat that, that’s icky.’ It was taught to most of us from a young age that insects are yucky and not food. But times are changing. The planet is deteriorating before our eyes and the UN claims that eating insects could help. So why not try it? Maybe the following celebrities will convince you.
1. Nicole Kidman
Yes! One of the classiest ladies ever, Nicole Kidman, eats bugs! She also does it super elegantly, with great commentary. But before you freak out, she is being extra brave. When I tell you to eat bugs, I am mostly talking about fried crickets and mealworms – you can even buy them in power form and make a pizza out of them. There are also protein bars made from bugs, so you can’t actually see or taste them.
“I am here to reveal my hidden talent, eating micro livestock.”
Nicole Kidman
Out of sight out of mind, right? Or, you can dive right in and eat live bugs like Nicole… but keep in mind that you won’t find living bugs to eat that easily in Europe or America. Please keep in mind that you can’t just eat bugs that you find outside. They need to be raised in a controlled environment to be safe. You can’t get salmonella or any other diseases from bugs, but wild insects could have consumed pesticides or eaten poisonous fungi. So please, if any of these celebrities inspire you, don’t run out and shove rainworms in your mouth! Find insects raised or sold for human consumption to be safe.
2. Zac Efron
Unlike Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron didn’t eat bugs because he thinks of them as micro livestock. He did the thing that I recommend you don’t do: eat bugs in the wild. He did it as part of a show where he lived off the land for two days. His guide found wild bird eggs and used them, shells included, to create a mealworm omelet. This is not how I suggest you eat bugs…
“If there’s something strange and everyone is afraid to eat it, I’m usually the one to go for it.”
Zac Efron
His next public bug-eating appearance is way more civilized. The reason Zac eats bugs is a little silly. He’s all look at me, I’m so brave. But I can’t hate on him because that was how my bug journey started too. I was at a beer festival where for some reason, they sold insects! They were super expensive and most people were squealing about how gross it was. Of course, the Leo in me couldn’t resist and I had to try them. Once I did, I was hooked! Let’s hope that Zac turns into a passionate entomophagist too.
3. Jessica Biel
Okay, here is another actress that ate bugs to be cool. Or maybe out of peer pressure? Jessica Biel tried a chocolate-covered cricket and she didn’t seem to enjoy it. I have no idea why, since they are absolutely delicious! But hey, at least she tried it and you should too! Just don’t drop them into the chocolate fountain? That is yucky even if you love eating insects.
4. Angelina Jolie
I think we all agree that Angelina Jolie is a remarkable lady. I love her even more now that I know that she is open to eating bugs and does it with her children! Before you cry about child abuse, eating insects is incredibly healthy. As long as you aren’t allergic to shellfish, you can safely eat insects. They have a lot of protein and nutrients in them. Some scientists even believe that crickets contain an enzyme that has the potential to cure Alzheimer’s. Read more about why you should eat bugs on BBC news.
“Crickets, you start with crickets. Crickets and a beer and then you kind of move up to tarantulas.”
Angelina Jolie
5. Salma Hayek
People in Mexico eat bugs as part of their heritage. Salma Hayek is no exception and she especially loves fried ant eggs with a little guacamole. Personally, I tried ant eggs in Vietnam and I did not enjoy the experience. But I would 100% try them in Mexico! For some reason, people freaked out about this revelation. She went on to upload a photo of herself eating a cricket on Instagram. Wouldn’t bug-eating be a great TikTok challenge?
“Look, I’m salivating. They’re delicious!”
Salma Hayek
6. Ellen Degeneres
Salma Hayek doesn’t just talk about eating bugs. She encourages other celebrities to try it too! Thanks to her, Ellen Degeneres decided to try some crickets. Ellen is very hesitant to put one in her mouth but once she does, she keeps popping them in! It’s normal to be hesitant because our brain tells us ‘no, this is yucky!’ But once you try it, there is no going back. I totally agree with Salma. They are delicious!
7. Gordon Ramsay
Yes! Gordon Ramsay eats bugs too. On his trip to Cambodia he ate various bugs including worms and tarantulas. I haven’t tried them yet, but the legs do look crunchy and delicious. When they bring up the belly that’s full of puss, that is where they lose me. If you are new to insect eating, stick to the crispy ones. I once ate a cockroach that popped in my mouth and it was not a pleasant experience.
8. 9. 10. Anna Faris, Tituss Burgess & James Corden
Chef David George Gordon, who prepares gourmet dishes with bugs as protein, has James, Anna and Tituss try ants, cockroaches, and a deep-fried tarantula. Guess what? They like it! Eating bugs is not as strange as you think. One one hand, these videos of celebrities that eat bugs are part of the problem – oh cool, this is so weird, I’m going to do it. On another, if they can do it, so can you! Let’s normalize this once and for all.
Summary – Celebrities that Eat Bugs
Eating bugs may seem weird but that’s only because we weren’t raised to do it. We were literally told not to put bugs in our mouth as children. By we, I mean most Westerners. Because a majority of people in the world HAVE eaten bugs and do so on a regular basis. According to the UN, we should all eat more bugs to help save the planet.

Spoiled Rotten Leftist Loons that suck up to the Globalist Satanic Agenda! What Horseshit that this helps to save the planet!!! What about saving your souls from eternal damnation you morons! And the planet doesn’t need saving but human immortal souls do as you follow the Illuminati/Luciferian Prescription that’s now being propagated as the Global Reset! Stupid doesn’t scratch the surface of what these poor excuses are!
Leviticus 11:41-43 “Every creature that moves along the ground is detestable; it must not be eaten. 42Do not eat any creature that moves along the ground, whether it crawls on its belly or walks on four or more feet; for such creatures are detestable. 43Do not defile yourselves by any crawling creature; do not become unclean or defiled by them.”
What’s actual hideous above and beyond is how these creepy people think they have done nothing wrong while they boisterously worship evil and don’t care, as they influence millions of people via the public media and carry on so proud; but, as they do they are selling their souls to Satan for money, glitz, fame and idolatry for the Beast’s crooked ways of the world! Blasphemy and Antichrist minions of all that is unholy, unclean and putrid!

“Darwin’s goal was not to disprove God’s existence, nor did he see his theory as doing so. Unfortunately, that is how his ideas have been promoted by those looking to enable atheism. One reason many believers today resist modern evolutionary theory is that it so often comes packaged with a forced, atheistic worldview. Evolutionary scientists likely would not admit that their goal is to give an alternate explanation of the origins of life and thereby to give a foundation for atheism. And yet, according to the Bible, that is one reason the theory of evolution is approached in the way we see today.” GQ
I’ve studied far more and deeper than you can imagine in your present mindset! Atheists love to poke at actual proven historical Facts that produced a body of “wisdom and knowledge” which comes from the “Eternal All Knowing,” but they extract pieces to suit their own abysmal lack such as “atheism” thinking they are so wise and above it all; yet as I state they are “LOST!”
But I know you’re too busy LYAO, to take the time to really do yourself some good for once in your life!

“Those who adamantly reject creation do so on grounds that would logically force them to reject evolution as well.
If creation is true, then there is a Creator to whom we are accountable. Evolution, as often presented today, is an enabler for atheism. Evolution gives atheists a basis for explaining how life developed apart from a Creator God. As such, modern theories of evolution serve as a substitute “creation story” for the religion of atheism.” GQ

Let us point out the crux of the matter at hand for any human being that doesn’t want their life to be wasted and a lost opportunity!
One religion and belief applies to mankind as well as all of creation, and it’s the only one that can save our immortal souls to receive eternal life in heaven. And evolution is not it, but rather the opposite side of “God’s Truth!”
Romans 1:24-26 “Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen. 26For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.”
Jeremiah 17:8-10 “He is like a tree planted by the waters that sends out its roots toward the stream. It does not fear when the heat comes, and its leaves are always green. It does not worry in a year of drought, nor does it cease to produce fruit. 9The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? 10I, the LORD, search the heart; I examine the mind to reward a man according to his way, by what his deeds deserve.”
And the father of all lies Satan knows this full well, so has fully taken advantage of this from day one! Now the lies are exponentially beyond where they were in the Garden, with so much wonderment and trickery at man’s disposal! Even Trans-humanism rearing its ugly head now with a promise of immortality or in the least allowing humans to become truly powerful in all ways, not being restricted by a dying flesh body! “Temptation is the man killer” it always was and still is, but, the temptations are far beyond mere words or flesh lust, which is all so old hat and boring now; so easily many are succumbing to this technology hocus-pocus! God is the Creator of all things; and now many madmen fancy themselves being creators of one kind or another, this giving an ego boost to men like Elon or Gates, that is beyond orgasmic or any drug rush to the brain, triggered by whatever poison one can imagine may produce enormous endorphin ecstasy.
No, no; the Devil is still far beyond any human’s capacity to deceive, trap and rule, even though some men on this earth now think they are so powerful, even possessing the political power, say like a Putin or Biden to order nuclear annihilation! “Weakness and foolishness” still own men’s souls and there is only one hope or salvation for any man rich or poor, weak or strong, genius or dumbbell nothing will cut the mustard when it comes to eternal salvation and everlasting life; which only Jesus Christ gives and has for all those who will follow his lead and accept this gift from God Almighty! By their own “Free Will” they select eternal joy and happiness or suffering!
Romans 3:22-24 “And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction, 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.”
The antichrist is being readied to falsely claim he is God, and will save those who listen to his spiel; of course only those who are gloated in their own egos and foolish enough to believe such rubbish will be tantalized and bite into his lies.
John 17:1-3 “When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You. 2For You granted Him authority over all people, so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him. 3Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.”
John 14:5-7 “Lord,” said Thomas, “we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 7If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”
Right there it is “unequivocal” that “Jesus Christ with His Father” “who art in heaven, the Almighty” are “the only Truth that matters and that will save anyone from eternal damnation!”
Anyone else or thing saying otherwise is a liar, deceiver and false with no Almighty Power to save or permanently destroy souls!
Remember this at all times:
John 8:14-16 “Jesus replied, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I came from or where I am going. 15You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one. 16But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me.”
Amen and Amen.
