Gross 'Panda' tip: Jack Black talks eating bamboo
Thank Jack, we'll take a hamburger.
But the Kung Fu Panda 3 star just had to talk about bamboo.
Jack Black is Hollywood's (thus the world's) foremost expert on pandas — after playing martial arts-loving Po in three movies (the third coming out January 29) and he narrates Panda Republic on Animal Planet (January 26).
So naturally, the world-renowned thespian has indulged on the pandas' favorite food — bamboo. It was a challenge, he confesses in our video, part of an upcoming feature.
"I'm a method actor, so of course. Even boiled bamboo, very tough to get down."
Bamboo digestion fascinates Black, his favorite fact about the adorable bears.
"I just love it that they actually eat bamboo which you would think would be an impossible thing for a mammal to digest. They'll just chomp that down and swallow it and it will go right down through their intestines. And they love it."
And what does it taste like? Wait for it.
"Chicken."
Yah, we saw that one coming. But here's one thing you didn't see coming. Jack Black showing some serious kicks. Check that out below.
