Angelina Jolie has revealed one of her children's unusual eating habits.

The Salt star opened up in an interview with Extra, letting slip that her sons love to eat crickets:

"My boys love to eat crickets. It's their favourite thing... When I first gave [crickets] to them... I wanted them to not be turned off by something that wasn't [part of] their culture.

"So I bought them... and they ate them like Doritos. They wouldn't stop and they brought to-go boxes home.

"And then I had to actually ban the cricket eating at a certain point because I was afraid they were going to get sick from eating too many... But they're good!"

Angelina and her long-term partner Brad Pitt have six children together, nine-year-old Maddox, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins, Knox and Vivienne.

The couple have recently been subject to marriage rumours, after 47-year-old Pitt told USA Weekend that they marry for their children's sake:

"The kids ask about marriage. It's meaning more and more to them. So it's something we've got to look at."
