This morning, Nicolas Cage held a press conference in Moscow dedicated to the drama "Cruiser" with his participation. The plot of the tape, based on real events, tells about the events of the end of World War II, when the US Navy cruiser Indianapolis delivered an atomic bomb warhead to the American military base on Tinian Island and was attacked by the Japanese on the way back. The surviving sailors drifted on the high seas under the scorching sun, repelling shark attacks, experiencing thirst and hallucinations ...
In the evening, the actor will personally present the premiere of the film in one of the cinemas.
About acting shamanism
That's what I call the ability to use the imagination. The idea is to turn on the imagination and not play, but live with the Indianapolis sailors and the captain. I talked to them to find out how they experienced it all, studied documents, did my own research, and all this helped me understand them. This is a kind of energy exchange. Working on this film was a real pleasure. I love the ocean. I didn't care what time the shooting starts - at three in the morning, at five in the morning ... I can't say that there were any special difficulties, we were just in the ocean all the time, and I liked it.
About Russia
This is my first visit and I am very happy to be here. I deeply respect the history, culture and literature of Russia. After the press conference, I will go to look at St. Basil's Cathedral... I like Dostoevsky, in particular The Brothers Karamazov, and I found Dmitri Karamazov especially interesting. When I read the book, it seemed to me that we have a lot in common. Recently I had the opportunity to get acquainted with Russian cinema. I liked "Leviathan" (Andrey Zvyagintsev) - very touching and beautiful. And I also like "Solaris" (Andrey Tarkovsky), in which I still find special magic and inspiration.
About your sportswear
Actually it's not very interesting. I keep a diet - I try not to eat red meat, but eat more fish. I try to play sports, but it's difficult because I travel a lot for work. I run at least five miles a day. As a child, I rushed with my bike, jumped on it, performed all sorts of tricks. It seems that the devil lived in me. If I could now return to my childhood, I would certainly be surprised that I lived to my 52 years.
About family:“I never thought of myself as a strong person, I'm just a person. I feel like I'm doing what I can do and what matters most to me and my family, my children, Weston and Kal-El. My sons are my angels, they are always my priority. But I am the last person who can give advice on how to save a marriage.”
About "Snowden" and political overtones
My role in Snowden is very small, but I agreed to play it because Oliver Stone (the film's director) is a friend of mine. We once made a movie called Twin Towers together and I always felt that I owe him. As for the theme of the plot itself, in my opinion, the actor's job is not to send some messages to the viewer, but to be a mirror and reflect what is happening in society. I followed Edward Snowden's story from the very beginning, it changed the world and as an actor I wanted to reflect that.
About the site where you can "yell at Cage"
I browse the news and read what they write, and I saw the news about this application, but did not try it. I don't really want to hear my scream or the scream of people who try to repeat it, so let them enjoy it. This has nothing to do with me.
About how to become famous today
In my country, the path to fame has changed a lot lately. What makes people interesting to others has changed. When I was growing up, it was different. I have not seen cute faces who drink tequila and become famous through reality shows, through gossip. Marlon Brando, James Dean - these are real actors, real stars. Representatives of the industry that I also wanted to be a part of.
About star fever
Today you will see me on the red carpet, but to be honest, I am not someone who loves this business and thinks of myself as a star. I don't remember that I'm famous when I'm about to go to bed. Sometimes you shouldn't forget this, because everyone has a camera or a phone these days, and while most people are beautiful and tactful, there are those who try to catch you from the worst possible angle and make history.
0 23 July 2017, 17:15Every day, leaving my small room, I first think about whether I am ready to meet new people today or not. If I feel that the answer is “yes”, then I’ll go, if not, then I’d better stay at home.

Biography:
Nicolas Cage's parents were sure that a stage or screen star would grow out of their son, all because the actor was born the nephew of the famous Francis Ford Coppola. The young man changed his name already at a conscious age in order to start his own path as an actor and not hide behind the name of a famous relative. The actor’s grandfather was a great composer, his uncle was a famous director, my mother danced on stage all her life, and my father taught literature and even wrote works of art himself.
The taste for performing on stage came to the future professional while studying at a school in Beverly Hills. Here Nicholas showed himself as a gifted student of the drama club. At the age of 17, the young talent dropped out of school, passed the exams as an external student, and went to seek happiness in Hollywood.
The television debut came in 1981. Cage played in the television series Better Times. Oddly enough, his uncle Francis Coppola helped Cage in his career. It was he who noticed the talent of his nephew, moreover, quite by accident. Looking through the photos of the actors for the film "Rumble Fish", I noticed a photo of my nephew, but Francis did not make concessions and the aspiring actor was casting on a common basis
Over time, Nicolas Cage gained a reputation as an eccentric artist. However, they called him that - freakish. Preparing for the filming of the film "Bird", in 1984, the actor demanded that he, like his hero, pull out two teeth, and without anesthesia. And on the set of the film "Kiss of the Vampire" in the same year, he ate a live cockroach in front of the cameras, playing a crazy journalist

Meanwhile, the acting career continued. The actor received his first Oscar for his role in the film Leaving Las Vegas, Cage starred in more than twenty films.

The next chosen one of Nicolas Cage was Lisa Marie Presley, the daughter of the famous Elvis Presley.

Passions in his personal life did not at all prevent Nicolas Cage from giving his fans films with his participation.

The popularity and box office receipts of the paintings made them talk about the actor as a "lucky one". Although, most likely, luck is nothing more than an extraordinary capacity for work, versatility and the ability to choose directors and films.
The third and so far the last wife of Nicolas Cage was a simple waitress Ellis Kim. Marriage with her he calls the happiest. In 2005, the girl gave birth to the famous actor's son.
In 2009, information appeared that the famous Nicolas Cage went bankrupt. In 2008 alone, four properties were taken away from the actor to pay off debts (the amount of the debt is $ 7 million). Cage himself claims that he was "set up" by his financial manager Samuel Levin. With him, the actor started a lawsuit with the hope of recovering damages in the amount of $ 20 million.
