How do worms taste? Just ask Luke Benward, 10, the star of How to Eat Fried Worms. The film, based on a book by Thomas Rockwell, opens August 25. Luke plays the lead role, Billy, who loses a dare and has to eat 10 of the slippery critters in one day. "I got to put a real worm in my mouth," Luke told TFK. "But I didn't eat it. It was slimy and wiggly."
