He tried many times in new professions, changed roles, houses, cars, women, novels with which begin and end at a frantic pace. Sometimes it seems that this actor's success was predicted in advance. Perhaps, it is for this reason that Nicholas Kim Coppola (also Nicolas Cage) is a favorite of the public, and any film with his participation is filled with a special charm and intrigue.
Skeleton in the closet
Since childhood, parents have paid little attention to the boy. Father, being a professor of literature, spent whole days at the university. Mother, choreographer and dancer, was a woman with weirdness, she spoke only in verse and eventually she turned up at a psychiatric clinic. Meanwhile, the child learned to read poomiksam and dreamed of a detective career. As the actor himself later admitted: "He loved cinema more than any comic book. Films worried his imagination and at the same time in the images of movie heroes he could find peace and inspiration. " By the way, the future actor went to the same school in Beverly Hills as Angelina Jolie. It happened about the time when his uncle started shooting the Godfather. Francis Ford Coppala and Sofia Coppola ("The difficulties of translation"), as well as Nicholas are members of the family clan, whose ancestors in the distant past bore the status of Italian mafiosi.
Independently to do career in cinema the future actor firmly resolved in 17 years, having chosen for themselves a profession of the actor. It was at this point that Nicholsavert surnamed Cage, whom he had borrowed from his favorite comic book superhero, about the warlock Luke Cage. After a while, the actor will try to try himself in various industries, but acting will be the same link around which his whole life will be built.
Fanatic
1983 was named for Nikolas Cage a huge success - this year on the screen there is a film "Girl from the Valley", where the actor played the role of a red-haired musician. After that, Kage took part in the filming of two films of his famous uncle called "Fight Club" and "Club Cotton". True, soon family cooperation began to go wrong because of impudence and inefficiency of the young actor. Being an anarchist in the soul, he liked the works that panned the style of punk and rock, where the opportunity to express himself completely opens. With great pleasure, the actor starred in the movie David Lynch "Dikiesdertsem" and thus, thoroughly cemented the image of an eccentric boyfriend.
Living on the principle that in life you must absolutely eat everything, the actor accepts the consent for all roles. Many directors respectfully noted the zeal and zeal of Nichols, with whom he came to the shooting ground. The actor for the sake of a successful role was ready absolutely for everything: in the Kisses of the Vampire, eat a live cockroach or allow yourself to knock out two teeth in front of the frame, what happened in the movie "Picnic". As the actor himself says: "Today I would never went! ". But this, of course, because he was just 49 years old.
Many persons or without a face
Like a chameleon changing his color, Nichols changes his role. He actively takes part in the art house, the mainstream, and sometimes participates in the full "Hollywood". His movie heroes can be various characters: alcoholics, bandits, writers, writers, policemen, heroes-lovers or adventurers. Let some of his films not so successful, others are controversial, but the actor always remains himself, being in constant search, like any talented person.
One of the most interesting works of the actor of film criticism was called the film "Adaptation" (2001). Here Kage played simultaneously two roles of twin brothers: a complex Charley and a prosperous Donald. This split personality brought an act of nomination for the Oscar. But the prize was never received. In his collection, one statuette for the film "Leaving the Las Vegas", where the actor perfectly coped with the role of an alcoholic on the verge, which deserves indulgence.
Keijaktivno devotes himself to high-budgetary pictures: "Air prison", "Rock", "Oscar". In John Woo's film "Without a Face," Cage perfectly coped with the role of a gloomy neurotic. In the adventure thriller, almost with the Hitchcock story "National achievement, the actor was very successful in merging with his character, Ben Gates. But the actor compares his hero from the movie "The Armory Baron" of an emigrant from Russia that sells weapons to Yuri Orlov, with the heroes of Hollywood films about gangsters of the 30-40's.
The talent pool
Since childhood, Cage has become accustomed to taking everything from life. From an early age, he fell in love with classical music - only the family listened to her. Then the actor sat down on the rock, admiring the Beatles. In 1990, Nichols even acts as a composer, recording the soundtrack for the film Lynch "Wild at Heart." A couple of Cage's melodies can be heard in Leaving the Las Vegas.
In 2002, the film "Sony" is released and the actor puts another tick opposite the status of the director. Nicholas screens the script, which caught his eye 15 more years ago. Also, Nicholas is pleased to be involved in the installation of films. It's not that he got carried away producing. His work was the film "The Shadow of a Vampire".
Cage and his lady in the movie ...
Vromanticheskom image of the actor can be seen infrequently, tk. the actor himself is afraid to look foolish and sentimental. Onseltyh 5 times refused the role of a loving husband in the film "Family Man." In some degree, the actor became a hostage to his role as a tough guy. But despite this, many remember the actor in the movie "City of Angels", where the partner in the film was Meg Raymond.
... and in life
Although Cage loves surprises, but still based on the abundance of hobbies, including a romantic with Uma Thurman, the ladies noticeably surprise the actor. But Nichols dislikes his personal life in the show. Cage had one of the shortest in Hollywood debuts with Lisa Marie Presley, with the daughter of the rock king and ex-wife of the pop king Michael Jackson. Their marriage lasted 4 months.
The first marriage was long and lasted 6 years. The actor's wife at that time was an actress Patricia Arquette. The offer of a hand and a heart from Cage sounded on the very first day of acquaintance. Arquette herself came to this very seriously and provided a list of the things that he needed to do. Cage enthusiastically fulfilled all the requirements, which surprised the actress and she began to avoid Cage, but two years later they were married. Although the marriage broke up, the actors retained friendly relations.
Recently, the actor married for the third time on a waitress from a Japanese restaurant, Korean EllisKym and on October 3, 2005 she gave birth to his son Kal-El, who was named after Superman ikomiksov.
The actor's view of the future
In addition to the education of his son, Kage is studying for a producer and director, realizing his new projects. In 2013, with the participation of Nicholl Cage, several films are expected to be released: "Merzlyazemlya", "Pipets 2", "Joe", the actor also plans to voice one of the characters of the animated film "Semeika Kruds" (Gruha), which will be released in the world in the spring of this of the year.
