We have heard some weird celebrity diets in our time, but Salma Hayek’s takes the cake!

The curvy star recently revealed to David Letterman on his late-night TV show of her love of eating grasshoppers.

“Look, I’m salivating,” she said on The Late Show last month. “They’re delicious.”

“These little ants fried are amazing — with a little guacamole,” she said.

“And the worms … there are many different recipes for those. The little grasshoppers have a smoky flavour to them. It’s the way they cook them, and it’s really good.”

Salma, who is married to French businessman Francois-Henri Pinault, went on to tell Letterman “They’re not that easy to find. They’re delicatessen,” before quickly correcting herself.

“Yeah, sorry. My French is getting a little better. — my English is getting a lot worse.”
