(AP Photo/Ahn Young-joon) Cockroaches, butterflies, peanut-butter-and-bacon sandwiches: Celebrities sure do have some odd eating habits. The Daily Beast, with the help of Matthew and Mark Jacob’s What the Great Ate: A Curious History of Food and Fame, lists a few: Angelina Jolie: She’s tried bee larvae, crickets, and cockroaches—and the roaches she actually liked. Friedrich Nietzsche: Believed that eating a lot of rice led to drug use, and eating a lot of potatoes led to alcohol use. Steve Jobs: The Apple founder once tried an all-apple diet…because he thought it might allow him to stop bathing. Vladimir Nabokov: Tried butterflies once but proclaimed them “vile,” like “almonds and perhaps green cheese.” Maria Callas: The Greek opera star was rumored to have eaten a tapeworm purposely—to help her lose weight. Elvis Presley: Once flew 800 miles to eat a peanut-butter-jelly-bacon sandwich…made on an entire loaf of bread with a pound of bacon. Ronald Reagan: Didn’t eat a tomato for 70 years.
