comments

I like him most in 'The Rock' (1996), 'Face/Off' (1997), '8 mm' (1999), 'Lord of War' (2005), 'World Trade Center' (2006) and 'Seeking Justice' (2011)

he changed his name from Coppola to Cage when he began acting, to make his own reputation

was married to Patricia Arquette (1995 - 2001, divorced), Lisa Marie Presley (2002 - 2004, divorced), Alice Kim (2004 - 2016, divorced) and Erika Koike (married and divorced in 2019)

is now married to Riko Shibata (since 16. February 2021)

has a son Kal-el (* 03. October 2005) with Kim

has an older son, Weston (* 26. December 1990) from his relationship with actress/model Kristina Fulton

his father is August Floyd Coppola (* 1934 † 2009, a literature professor (the brother of director/screenwriter/producer Francis Ford Coppola) and his mother is Joy Vogelsang, a dancer and choreographer

his parents separated in 1976 and the three boys (Nicolas has two older brothers: Marc and Christopher) were raised by their father, August
