<p>Nicolas Cage once tried eating cockroaches and he would never do it again. While speaking to Yahoo Entertainment, he said that he deeply regrets gobbling a live cockroach while making the 1988 black horror comedy <em>Vampire's Kiss</em>. "I’ll never do that again. I’m sorry I did it at all," he said. In the Robert Bierman film, Cage plays the role of a literary critic called &nbsp;Peter Loew who gets bitten in the neck by a woman and believes he has become a vampire. In one scene, the script had that Cage's character eating a raw egg. But Cage thought eating a cockroach would be more effective as it would "shock the audience". So that is what he did.&nbsp;</p>
