A two-headed snake, gambling for orphans, nude cave exploration and mime stalkers are just a number of of the bizarre city legends Nicolas Cage is last but not least ready to debunk — or acknowledge to — after a long time of myth constructing.
The “thespian” — never contact him a mere “actor,” individuals! — back again on the speak-present circuit for the very first time in 14 years, advertising his “Unbearable Pounds of Enormous Talent.”
The “Leaving Las Vegas” Oscar winner, 58, stopped by “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Wednesday to reveal the truth guiding rumors that have circled the cult icon for yrs.
Kimmel, 54, questioned Cage about the tale of him gambling at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas about 20 years ago with just $200.
Cage explained that he played roulette at the on line casino and the income turned into 20,000 huge types.
Even though making an attempt his fortunate hand at the roulette wheel, he made the decision to keep taking part in the identical quantities. “It was a single of those nights wherever you feel like the mojo was with you, and nothing at all was heading to go completely wrong,” the “Raising Arizona” wild male mentioned.
Rumor experienced it that he gave all of his winnings to an orphanage in the area. In fact, Cage verified, right after he received the income he went to the children’s middle — where by he slapped the 20 grand into the hand of the headmistress and was sent on his way.
The “Moonstruck” primary male instructed Kimmel he’s in no way laid down bets once again as he feels it would destroy the “magic” of gambling.
Yet another wild rumor that Cage clarified was that he is in possession of a two-headed snake.
The respond to: He did have just one at just one issue.
Kimmel pulled out the “Peggy Sue Got Married” star’s current GQ address distribute, in which he’s hugging a snake, and he requested Cage if he at any time owned the reptile.
“I did and it’s odd,” Cage admitted. He went on to observe that there was one night time that he was dreaming about two-headed eagles. The next working day, his supervisor at the time obtained a phone from anyone indicating they had a two-headed snake and they believed Cage could like it.
The chilling takeaway in this article: Cage noted the animal value four situations the total of cold, challenging money he gave to the orphanage.
In the meantime, Cage admitted the snake was as well substantially for him to handle — and the two heads would usually combat each and every other. The Hollywood royal — born Nicolas Coppola, he’s the nephew of legendary “Godfather” director, Francis Ford Coppola — eventually made a decision to convey the animal to a zoo, wherever he lived for 14 many years.
Kimmel relayed that when Cage’s “National Treasure” co-star Diane Kruger was a short while ago on the chat demonstrate, she divulged that throughout taking pictures for the early-2000s journey movie series, he just about acquired a cave crammed with bats so he could go spelunking although nude.
Cage dished that the cavern he wished to buy was “beautiful [with] milky white crystalline partitions.” He did want the hideaway so he could go exploring — bare bottomed — at the base of the organic surprise with his wife at the time. But this fantasy hardly ever arrived to fruition, with the “Face/Off” star going for walks away from the sale.
An additional piece of gossip that has swirled all around Tinseltown for several years was that Cage retained a foulmouthed African pied crow as a pet.
He quipped that the crow was “well-dressed” — with black and white feathers that created him “look like he was donning a tuxedo.”
“He likes to say hello to me when I walk in the room, and when I depart he says bye. I don’t train him the words and phrases. He came with the vocabulary,” Cage mentioned. “And one particular day he called me an ‘a–hole’ and I really do not know why.”
The very last urban legend that the actor acquired actual about was the “weird experience” of staying qualified by a pair of mimes.
The silent stalkers were following him all around and caused him to request the “proverbial queries of ‘Why?’ and ‘Who are you people today?,’ ” Cage claimed.
He requested them politely to go away, and they remaining without the need of saying a phrase. “We’re all getting stalked at situations. I think I was their only viewers,” Cage claimed.
