Angelina Jolie has admitted that she has eaten spiders on her frequent trips to Cambodia.

The Salt star also confessed to being an "adrenaline junkie", and said that she is not afraid when it comes to action scenes in her films.

The 35-year-old told The Sun: "I do like spiders and bugs and all that, so I'm not squeamish. I've eaten some from my days in Cambodia, so I don't have a problem."

As for performing her own stunts in movies, she added: "I'm a little fearless to the point of stupidity sometimes. I've got the scars to prove it. But I've been so fortunate in my career that I've been able to do these type of [action] films that I will admit that I'm an adrenaline junkie.

"I do love to jump out of things and on to things, and so I don't really have a great deal of fear when it comes to those things."

Salt hits US cinemas on July 23 and in the UK on August 20.
