I was today years old when I found out that “Nicolas Cage” is not the name that “Nicolas Cage” was born with

So that must mean you’re actually “Toddler” years old 😐….. or just totally uncultured 🤷♂️

@Gabriel Leroux
Oh yea, knowing that really makes you cultured.
I’ve known this for @ least 2 decades and that doesn’t mean sheeit.
Gabriel Leroux
November 23, 2022 at 2:56 pm
@ThA MAN C MAcK exactly , you’ve known that for 2 decades and still have a mediocre culture , so imagine how weak is the culture of someone who didn’t know this fact …

@Gabriel Leroux
That what you don’t get. Genius.
I’ve been all over , experienced many different cultures in person 1st hand and knowing Nick Cage is a fake name has nothing to do with being cultured or how cultured I am or am not.
Gabriel Leroux
November 23, 2022 at 2:10 pm
The fact that is first explanation for “cage” is just basic toxic cultural appropriation ……. He just dropped BIG time in my esteem

Naming himself after his favorite comic book character not a big deal

How the fck is it cultural appropriation? 1. Luke Cage is a made up character. it’s not real. 2. believe it or not, there are many people with the same last name. A last name is automagically tied to one person or culture

All of you toxic haters can go massage your eyeballs with sandpaper 😡😡🖕

That makes sense! I forgot he changed his last name tbh 😅😂
Brendan
November 24, 2022 at 8:01 am
i feel dumb but whats the connection between his last name being copalla and people referencing apocalypse now?
Wesley Riot
November 24, 2022 at 8:40 am
It was directed by Francis ford Coppola?
Harley Fleming
November 25, 2022 at 10:55 am
@Wesley Riot aka, his uncle, who he begged for movie roles. He actually changed his name to avoid accusations of nepotism, which would be accurate lol
Wesley Riot
November 25, 2022 at 11:09 am
@Harley Fleming well yeah obviously

He literally named himself after a comic character. What a legend
John
November 27, 2022 at 6:15 pm
He also named one of his kids Kal-El after Superman.
Wesley Riot
November 27, 2022 at 7:32 pm
@John fuckin nerd! I love it
John Lucas
November 28, 2022 at 5:13 pm
@Wesley Riot Yeah. Because if I remember right he was almost a Superman choice for a movie.
Yunghotspot
November 28, 2022 at 8:05 pm
@John Lucas no it was his superman movie, you can google him in the costume, they unfortunately cancelled the film before much could be done

November 24, 2022 at 8:48 am
that’s pretty dumb you changed your name because another after would say certain types of comments why didn’t you just be a man and deal with it, that’s one of the weirdest things in the world to change your name cuz of what someone else is doing. don’t ever play poker cuz you’re figured out before the game starts

“give this man a ghost rider”
Harley Fleming
November 25, 2022 at 10:54 am
Lol, that’s a great cover story, except he definitely change his name to avoid accusations (probably accurate ones) of nepotism, seeing how that movie he referenced was created by his uncle Francis Ford Coppola, ha
Afonso Lucas
November 25, 2022 at 4:02 pm
Well, now I too have some things on my list. It’s also a sneaky way of Van saying what he’d like as a gift haha.

Mathias Walker
November 28, 2022 at 11:33 am
He’s a comic nerd first and foremost.
Named his kid Cal-El and was almost Superman in the 90s.

November 26, 2022 at 10:28 am
This makes no sense at all. If you had a problem with them using your first name in such a context, why did you only change your LAST name???? 😂

November 27, 2022 at 1:56 am
LEGEND!! This man has made movies to be so many characters, to challenge himself, to do things differently and I’ve always loved that you never know what he’ll do next! His “bizarre” screen appearances are great because he’s not afraid to really put himself out there. AMAZING ACTOR!

I don’t get why people said that quote with his previous last name?
