Zac Efron turned fans' stomachs on U.S. late night TV in America on Thursday when he sucked a duck fetus from an egg.
The movie hunk opted to try the delicacy balut during a lunchtime trip to a volcano in the Philippines and he asked a pal to videotape the moment he peeled open the egg and guzzled down the contents.
He aired the home video during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and revealed he actually quite liked the broth-like snack.
He told the host, "There was a fully-formed little bird in the egg... It wasn't that bad. I ate, like, three more that day.
"There was, like, a hard part with, like, the beak and stuff. I didn't want to eat that."
For the uninitiated, balut is a duck embryo that is boiled and eaten in the shell. It is believed to be an aphrodisiac.

Zac is promoting his new Lee Daniels movie, The Paperboy, where Nicole Kidman pees on him.
ONTD: what's the most bizarre thing you've ever eaten?

Foul, rank, disgusting, chewy. I can't.
But then again I've had to explain to some Americans that tuna pizza is a thing over here and they freaked out too.
Tuna pizza doesn't sound weird? Mind if I ask where you're at?
yeah it's a little chewy, but I can't imagine how it'd be foul or rank unless there was something wrong with it
mmmmmmm
I generally stick to cow, chicken, turkey and pig when it comes to creatures. My ex-boyfriend ate dog while there.
And most bizarre thing I've eaten was probably horse, served deli-meat style. Would not eat again.
i sort of agree actually

what does horse taste like?
it's different. just like some north american foods are to others.
OH BUT IT MUST BE RACIST SINCE WE'RE WHITE WESTERNERS.
I'm Venezuelan and I find it disgusting. Also, I wouldn't eat baby pork even though it's a normal thing for Christmas in Spain.

I also had a bite of a burger made of bear meat, until they told me what it was and then I couldn't eat it any more. *shrugs* I like bears.

:(
I don't think it's that weird of a food at all, but I was tricked into eating rabbit as a kid and I didn't appreciate that
like idek with the whole eating the water-the-pig-was-killed-in thing
