TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN} star ISABEL LUCAS is a closet Crocodile Dundee - she learned how to survive in Australia's outback from her Aborigine best friend.

The sexy actress, who plays an alien in the new blockbuster, lived among the native Aussies in Kakadu as a child, and she learned all about the land and how to live miles away from civilisation.

Lucas tells Details magazine, "My best friend was Aboriginal. She taught me about 'bush tucker' - the food of the land, the different things you could eat if you got lost in the bush, like grasses and berries."
