Nicolas Cage told Rampstyle magazine he had trouble relating to people and was socially awkward, reports mirror.co.uk.
He revealed: “My father told me he felt like he had to introduce himself to me because I was such an alien. I was shocked the day I went to the doctor’s office as a child and found out that I had normal organs and a normal skeleton because I was certain I was from another planet.”
He continued: “I had difficulties connecting with other people. When I saw David Bowie in ‘The Man Who Fell to Earth’, I realised I needed to do something. So I became an actor.”
In September, Nicolas Cage had a child with new wife Riko Shibata, who is 30 years his junior. It’s the pair’s first child together and the actor’s third – he also has two sons, Kal-El, 16, and Weston, 31, from previous relationships. Daughter August was born on September 7.
