Nicolas Cage is arguably one of the finest Hollywood actors. Nicolas Kim Coppola was born in California, United States on 7th January 1964, but is better known by his stage name, Nicolas Cage. He is an actor, director, and filmmaker. Cage is among Hollywood's most prolific performers right now for a number of reasons, one of which is his meticulous adaptability. He is also one of the few actors who have mastered the uncanny art of method acting.
His parents were successful professionals. He is associated with Francis Ford Coppola but took a different surname to establish his own career in the entertainment world.
It was only in 1981 that Cage got his screening breakthrough in a TV pilot. After that, he had a part in the adolescent comedy Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), and the next year, he played in Rumble Fish, which was directed by Coppola, his uncle.
Saturn Films is a film production firm that Cage owns and operates. The company has produced movies like "Shadow of the Vampire" (2000) and "The Life of David Gale" (2003). Cage has been heavily critiqued in recent times for his selection of characters, several of whom have been broadly disliked, despite critical and commercial blockbusters like Ghost Rider (2007) as well as Kick-Ass (2010).
Cage's loving relationship with Kristina Fulton, who was a model, spanned for a good number of years and resulted in the birth of their child, Weston Coppola Cage, in the year 1992. After that, in 1995, he tied the knot with actress Patricia Arquette. In August of 2002, he got married to Lisa-Marie Presley, who was the sole child of the late King of Rock ‘ N ’ roll.
However, this wedding did not last long. After that, in August of 2004, Cage tied the knot with his longtime love Alice Kim, who was only 20 years old at the time, at a privately owned ranch in Northern California. By October 3, 2005, the duo shared the news that they had become parents to a son, named Kal-el Coppola Cage.
It was announced in the year 2016 that the couple had divorced after having been married for a total of 12 years. Then in March 2019, it was revealed that Cage has struck the marriage for the second time, this time with cosmetics professional Erika Koike. Only four days after, Cage filed for an annulment of the marriage. Cage then tied the knot with Riko Shibata in the month of February 2021.
His performance in the film Vampire's Kiss earned him the award for Best Actor at the Sitges Film Festival in 1989. It was the year 1995 that he took home the Oscar for Best Actor for his performance in Leaving Las Vegas. In 1997, he was honored with the Blockbuster Entertainment Award for Favorite Actor for his performance in The Rock.
In 1998, he was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his achievements. His performance in The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans earned him the award for "Best Actor" from the Toronto Film Critics Association in 2009.
