Angelina Jolie’s ad in Cambodia
I love this video!
Angelina Jolie’s makeup-free ad for Louis Vuitton while she was in Cambodia is part of the luxury brand’s “Core Values” campaign and now has a beautiful 10-minute video commercial.
Angelina is gorgeous and so is the country of Cambodia, where she adopted her first son, Maddox.
On eating crickets:
Jolie, mother of six, says the chirpy insects are like junk food to Cambodia-born Maddox and his younger brother, Pax:
“The biggest thing actually — to be honest — here in Cambodia is my boys love to eat crickets. It’s their favorite thing. … When I first gave it to them, I thought — I wanted them to understand. Culturally, I wanted them not to be turned off by something that was of their culture. So I bought it and … they ate them like Doritos, and they wouldn’t stop. And they brought to-go boxes home, and I had to actually ban the cricket-eating at a certain point because I was afraid they were gonna get sick from eating too many.”
What do they taste like?
“They’re good! They are like potato chips,” Jolie adds. “We’ve had ‘the beetle.’ They call it a cockroach, I think it’s more like a beetle. I have yet to have the tarantulas on a stick or spider soup here. It does seem like an odd thing to eat — no, it does! I don’t know if I can get around the fur, but” — she says, with a knowing smile — “you gotta try everything.”
