Kooky Angelia Jolie Insists on Bare Feet for Maddox in Cambodia

Isn’t that how one gets hookworm?  Maybe that’s why she’s getting so thin.

Contact Music reports that Angelina Jolie makes Maddox walk around without shoes every time they visit his native Cambodia.

The actress admits her eldest son isn’t always happy to go native when he goes ‘home’, but Jolie thinks it’s important young Maddox lives the Cambodian experience. She explains, "When we go to Cambodia I always say, ‘Take our shoes off,’ and we walk across the rocks. "There was a time he would whine about little things like that and I’ll say, ‘Everybody in Cambodia can walk with bare feet. They get tough Cambodian feet.’ "So the two of us will take our shoes off and walk across the rocks and go eat a cricket."

We feel Maddox’s (foot) pain. Remember the days?

Each summer, you’d trek around, building up the callouses on your privileged, sensitive feet, which had been spoiled by spending a winter clad in shoes.

Those first few days on the hot asphalt were tough. You’d whine, much like the eldest Jolie-Pitt kid.

But, we bet your Mom never made you eat crickets!
