Nic cage, birthed as Nicolas Kim Coppola, is an American actor and film producer. He has won an Academy Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, a Golden Globe Award, and has been nominated for two BAFTA Awards.
He is known for his versatility as an actor, and his appearances in various cinema genres have earned him a fanbase.
Why was Nic Cage arrested twice?
According to Kathleen Turner’s memoir Send Your Roses (2008),Nic Cage stole a chihuahua and was detained twice for drunk driving while filming Peggy Sue Got Married. Later, she admitted Cage did not steal a chihuahua and apologized.
Cage won a libel suit against Turner, her publisher Headline Publishing Group, and Associated Newspapers (whose outlet, the Daily Mail, repeated the charges when it published an excerpt from the book).
Christina Fulton sued Cage in December 2009 for $13 million and the house where she lived. The claim was filed in response to an order requiring her to vacate the residence, which was prompted by Cage’s financial issues. The matter was settled in June 2011.
On April 15, 2011, Cage was arrested in New Orleans’ French Quarter district on charges of domestic violence, battery, disturbing the peace, and public intoxication. Onlookers flagged down a police officer when Cage allegedly grabbed his wife’s upper arm while under the influence of drinking.
Cage was kept in police custody until Duane “Dog” Chapman posted bail of $11,000. He was subsequently called to appear in court on May 31, 2011. On May 5, 2011, the New Orleans District Attorney announced that all charges against Cage had been dismissed.
Meanwhile, Cage featured in Werner Herzog’s 2009 film The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. The picture garnered universally favorable reviews, and Cage was praised for his starring performance. He achieved big office success in 2012 with Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, which grossed $585 million.
Joe, his follow-up picture, was a commercial failure. In 2018, he starred in the critically acclaimed action film Mandy, produced by Elijah Wood. Wood planned to whip up Oscar support for Cage, but the film was eventually disqualified for a late-year release. Cage agreed to play the lead part in Richard Stanley’s 2018 film Color Out of Space. This was Stanley’s first feature picture since 1996.
Nicolas Cage went on to star in Pig (2021), The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022), and Renfield (2023). In 2023, Cage also appeared in The Flash as an alternate version of Superman, donning his cape.
