🎬 When it comes to Hollywood, few can match his eccentricity. Not only is he an Oscar winner, but he’s also a collector of the most unexpected things. 😮
He once bought a real dinosaur skull—a Tyrannosaurus Rex, 67 million years old 🦖. And as a young man, he even bought himself a coffin? Not for a movie—but for his future funeral. “I don’t want to just be a star. I want to shock the audience,” he once said.
💬 Have you guessed who that is? Continued in the first comment 👇👇
For example, Cage purchased a real Tyrannosaurus skull at auction for $276,000. It wasn’t until years later that it was discovered that the artifact had been illegally exported from Mongolia—and the actor had to return it.
But as he later said, “I don’t regret it—I held a real skull of a prehistoric monster in my hands.”
Did you know that Cage bought himself a coffin at a young age? Not for a movie, but for his future grave.
He bought a pyramid-shaped mausoleum in New Orleans where he plans to be buried. Some believe it has something to do with his interest in mysticism and… vampires.
And yes—over the years, he’s owned over 15 homes, including a castle in Germany, a mansion in Hollywood, a private island in the Bahamas, and even a haunted house in New Orleans, where the ghost of the infamous Madame LaLaurie supposedly resides.
Nicolas Cage isn’t just an actor; he’s a real phenomenon. He lives as if every day were a movie scene. And that’s exactly why people love him: for the courage to be himself—strange, bright, and unpredictable.
“I don’t want to just be a star. I want to shock the audience,” Cage said. And judging by his life, he kept that promise.
Who else would have turned down a role in “The Lord of the Rings” because they “felt it wasn’t his path”? And then grappled with six million dollars in debt without losing his charisma?
Today, Nicolas Cage is back on top: He takes on unusual roles, walks through Las Vegas without bodyguards, and speaks openly with his fans.
