Nicholas Cage was born on January 7, 1964, in Long Island, California, united States, and his real name was Nicholas Kim Coppola. His mother was a choreographer, his father was a professor of literature, and Cage had two older brothers. The uncle was the famous director Francis Ford Coppola, and when he was young, Cage often visited his uncle in San Francisco.
At the age of 15, Cage studied acting at the Summer School of the American Conservatory of Music and Drama in San Francisco and fell in love with the industry. So he dropped out of Beverly Hills High School to pursue an acting career. In 1981, Cage made his tv debut. In order to get rid of the influence of the famous director's uncle, he named himself Cage, which is derived from the comic book hero Luke Cage.
Cage is known for his restlessness, strong personality and passion for experiential performance. He lost two teeth while filming Birdman, broke his arm during the filming of The Call of Love, ate a live cockroach during the filming of The Vampire's Kiss, and was suspected of sabotaging a street vendor's remote-controlled car during the filming of The Cotton Club.
In 1994, Cage was worth $4 million per film, but because he liked Mike Figis's role in Leaving Las Vegas, he was willing to accept a salary of $2.4 million. Practice proved to be wise, and by playing the alcoholic screenwriter Ben Sanderson, he won both an Oscar and a Golden Globe award.
Beginning in 1995, Cage made a series of action thrillers, including Daredevil Island, Prison in the Air, Changing Face, and Snake's Eye. According to reports, when starring in "60 Seconds at Speed" with Angelina Jolie, Cage was paid as much as $20 million.

In addition to his outstanding acting skills, Cage is more concerned about his love life, he has been married five times, has a married son and an extramarital son, and his third child is about to be born.
Cage was in a relationship with model Christina Fulton for many years as a young man, and the two had a son in 1992, Weston Coppola Cage. Cage now has four children.
In 1987, when 18-year-old Patricia Aquet came to Hollywood, cage attracted a lot of attention, and of course, another movie star, Crispin Glover, paid attention to him. A few years later Cage proposed to Aquirt, and strangely enough, Arquette refused him, asking him to prepare some unattainable gifts for her.
One of them is a black orchid, which doesn't exist at all. As a result, Cage bought a purple orchid and black paint and dyed the orchid black in front of her.
Cage's efforts eventually won Aquiat's heart, and the two entered the marriage hall in 1995. Nine months later, the media reported that the two divorced, and it turned out to be a oolong. At that time, Arquette's mother was suffering from cancer, and she went back to take care of her mother. The marriage lasted 6 years and the two completed their divorce in 2001.
After the divorce, Cage and Arquette died of no contact, but Cage and his second wife have maintained a very good friendship. His second wife was Elvis Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie Presley.
Cage had just divorced, Presley had just divorced Michael Jackson, and she had a brief engagement with John Oszajca. Cage and Presley married in August 2002 after two years together. However, the marriage lasted only four months.
Later, Cage met Alice King, a 19-year-old waitress at a Los Angeles restaurant, who was impressed by the Korean woman's beauty. Alice King was an avid Cage fan, so the two married in a private villa in northern California in August 2004, and a year later Alice bore Cage a son. In 2016, the two ended their 12-year marriage, which was cage's longest marriage.
After divorcing his Japanese wife, Cage found another Japanese woman as his wife, and in February 2021 Cage married Shibata Pear. Shibata is four years younger than Cage's oldest son.
Cage met Shiga and Shibata, Japan, while filming Prisoner of the Land of Ghosts. In January 2020, someone photographed them dating together in New Orleans. They also went to cage's pyramid tomb that he bought for himself in Louisiana.
During the epidemic, Cage and Shibata Pear were isolated in the United States and Japan respectively, Cage proposed to Shibata Pear through video, and after the successful proposal, he sent the ring to Shibata by international courier.
