Nicolas Cage’s Co-star Also Had To Eat Cockroaches
Cage recently took on the role of Renfield in the upcoming comedy horror filmRenfield,which revolves around the misadventures of Dracula’s loyal but tormented assistant, R. M. Renfield, portrayed byNicholas Hoult. Interestingly, Hoult’s character is tasked with consuming the cockroaches rather than Cage in this particular film.
“The cockroaches I got to eat in this were caramel,”Hoult told Yahoo. “I also had crickets that were actually quite yummy; they were salt and vinegar-flavored or barbecue smoky-flavored.”
Nicholas Hoult candidly revealed that the experience of eating cockroaches for the film was far from pleasant. According to him, the cockroaches did not dry out well, resulting in a less-than-appealing taste that unmistakably resembled that of bugs. “It wasn’t good,”Hoult said.“It didn’t dry out so good and tasted every bit of bug.“
