Nicolas Cage he recently shared in an interview that when he was a child, his father told him he was “such an alien” and Cage’s young mind took that literally. He assumed that what his father was telling him was true and that he was an alien from another planet.
This led to a rather funny experience when he went to the doctor, where he learned he wasn’t from another planet. In an interview with Rampstyle, Cage shared, “I was shocked the day I went into the doctor’s office as a kid and found I had normal organs and a normal skeleton because I was certain I was from another planet.”
The actor added, “I had a hard time connecting with people. When I saw David Bowie in The man who fell to earthI knew I had to do something, so I became an actor.”
Cage is one of the funniest actors working today, and he’s always experimenting and doing different and unique projects. I love the actor that Cage has become. When she previously spoke about his career in an interview with Vanity Fair, he said:
“A lot of it was by design—I kind of actively wanted to shape the perception of myself when I was very young. I’ve been doing it since I was 15…sometimes when you start so young, you really want to make a mark. And I did things as a young man in the industry and in magazine interviews and on television in England for example that I can’t imagine doing again at 57 but still I did it I wanted to create sort of of an image wild, artistic and quirky, I have changed in terms of what I want to express and what I want my perception to be.
“Personally I think I’m very boring. I find myself perfectly comfortable staying at home playing with my cats or spending time with my boys, who are now older and pursuing their own interests. I spend a lot of quiet time home alone with my wife, Riko [Shibata]and with our pets. I do not see [my life] as dangerous or savage, although I think there is some pleasure in imagining me mad.”
I just thought it was a funny story about Cage being so surprised to learn he wasn’t alien.
