Nicolas Cage Talks About Being Mistaken for Nick Cave
In a recent interview with The Guardian, Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage revealed that he is frequently mistaken for the Australian musician Nick Cave, largely due to their similar names. Cage humorously noted, “I don’t think there’s a day that goes by where I’m not mistaken for Nick Cave. People often say, ‘Hey, Nick, you were great in The Hunger,’ referring to the classic film featuring David Bowie, in which I don’t appear.”
Cage recounted a memorable encounter with Cave at an animal sanctuary in Texas. During their meeting, Cage quipped about the name similarity, stating, “Only one letter separates us – G. Nick Cave, Nick Cage.” This playful acknowledgment garnered the two men a good laugh, despite their differing careers—Cage’s extensive filmography contrasts with Cave’s more limited, though impactful, forays into film, including the Grammy-nominated documentary One More Time with Feeling.
While fans might assume him to be mistaken for his Face/Off co-star John Travolta, Cage pointed out that the frequent mix-up with Cave is more pervasive. The idea of a sequel to Face/Off has also surfaced, with Cage expressing his enthusiasm for revisiting his iconic role. He conceptualized intriguing plot twists involving the characters’ offspring, hinting at potential complexities for a new installment.
As Cage continues to make headlines for his unique roles and career choices, including his upcoming film based on a biblical story, fans will certainly keep an eye out for his next projects and any additional mix-ups with Nick Cave.
