Screen icon Nicolas Cage says he now regrets one of his most memorable ― and, perhaps, most unsettling ― scenes.

It’s that time he ate a cockroach for the 1988 cult classic “Vampire’s Kiss.”

Cage plays Dracula in the new film “Renfield,” where insect-eating also features prominently.

Nicholas Hoult, who plays the title role of Dracula’s familiar, eats bugs throughout the movie.

“I had crickets that were actually quite yummy,” he said. “They were like salt and vinegar flavored or like barbecue-smoky flavored. They were fine. The potato bug didn’t dry out so good and that tasted every bit of bug.”
