It smells like freshly showered man Carries tailored suits and thick rings with large stones ("good luck charm, has made me a friend").
"Oscar" winner Nicolas Cage (48, his mother is from Germany) visiting PICTURE.
His new film "Ghost Rider 2" in which he rattles a burning skull through Europe in order to protect a boy (to be released. 23.2)
BILD chief editor, Axel-Springer building. Kai Diekmann, editor in chief gives him a masonry book. Cage's blue eyes light up. He: "I love Germany, would like to move to Görlitz. Great as in the Middle Ages! "
One night before I had the cool Cage a dinner date in the "Soho House".Fish, red wine, water, a cherry brandy.His first course ("salt cod fritters") he shares with me.He is a gentleman.When pushed, he looks deep into my eyes.He is in good shape, "I walk every day 12 kilometers."No stomach for eight tattoos (including a dragon on the back).
Whom he would like to meet again? "Bruno Ganz. A great actor . I hope he takes the time period for me. "
I hope he also takes time for me again ...

oh wow!!!! thank you Lady Arwen...I was there in Berlin when the wall came down, so that has special significance for me. what a deeply historically significant gift..one of unity.
Here is the video interview, in case any of our german friends would do us the extreme honour of translating!
wonderful to read these words from Nic..I think i have said it a gazillion times before but Nic writing is a dream..such a creative soul of original and raw talent being the primary source of material is just too exciting for words....go NIC!!!!
(and oh my..i can't think of anyone who wouldn't read that book........)
WOW... What a phenomental find, Lady True Yeah, I think she is lucky, when Nic looked deeply into her eyes with his jewelry blue eyes...Would you like to add any caption to the 1st pic? I don't even know where the city Görlitz is, quite curious about why it NICen up his enthusiasm. He walks 12 kilometres every day? I cannot help sitting at his feet.
But am I bing slow..I can't find the translation for the actual Bild interview in the video, which has the voice over in german? would love to know what Nic says after "my passion is ..."
and it looks like he was presented with something?!
The video was not there when I posted this last night! So cool to see it now, though. Lula, I only meant the translation for the brief bit the interviewer wrote, I wasn't aware of a video clip.
No problem, Lady T. Here is for you and for our other members, who can`t understand the geman text, the translation of the vid:
A touchable hollywoodstar. A sympathetic and cheerful Nicolas Cage visits BILD in Berlin. No trace of the "flaming scull-man", that he plays in his latest movie Ghost Rider. 5 days the hollywoodstar will visit Berlin, not just to promote his latest movie, the 48 year old wants to take a closer look at the capital city, too.
A visit at the Bild-editor-in chiefs-office, Kai Diekmann, becomes like a sightseeing for the actor. From the 16th floor of the Axel-Springer-building he looks over the capital city and Kai Diekmann explains him personally, what he is seeing in Berlin. After that, Diekmann presents him with a piece of german history: one of the last 500 original pieces from the berlin wall. The oscar-winner is a megastar and one of the highest payed actors in hollywood. But Cage has still unfullfilled dreams: "My passion is writing. And my dream is hopefully writing a book . I think, about my best moments in my life as an actor. Although I don`t like the word "act", because it sounds to me as lying. I want to be someone, who expresses the truth. When I write a bit of dialogue or improvise, I feel, I get closer to the truth. Those are more satisfying moments for me."
After the visit he went outside, heading into the capital city. After all, he don`t want to see it only from above.

How wonderful to read about his visit, and the idea of Nic writing and maybe a book about his life as an actor, wow.
That is just such a dream for me and any Nic fan I am sure, I love to read his comments in interviews about his roles, a book in detail and his words, that would be just stupendous. Thank you, Lady A for translating, and thanks for posting the video clip, Lula.
Ooh she is a very very lucky lady! Great he got one of those pieces, must be very special to have and recieve one. And what a beautiful things he tells us, about that what he does is not an act but an expression of the inner trueness. And indeed! Who wouldn't buy that book, he must be an excellent writer! Thanks all!

Yes Eva, this part, I agree, it is a beautiful thing that he tells us.
