Nic Cage was on the Today Show for the 1st time in 7 years	Permalink

I just watched Savannah Guthrie interview Nic Cage on the Today Show. She told him he was turnign 50 this year when we all know he just turned 49. Ever the gentleman, he did not correct her on that or when she said, "you're a dad now". We all know he has been a dad for over 20 years. No wonder why he hasn't been on the show for 7 years. I will post a link to the interview as soon as the Today show has it online. __________________ Ellen J Pilch

Thanks for posting about it, pilch92, I had not even known he was going to be on or I would have watched it. Here is a link to watch it. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/nicolas-cage-today-show-interview-429346 And here is the write-up, in case anyone can't view the clip. It is a good one! Nic looks great and it is wonderful to hear him talk about how his life is going these days. By the way, welcome, pilch; I don't believe you have posted here before. .................................... Nicolas Cage appeared on Monday's edition of Today for his first interview with the NBC morning show in seven years. That fact was much hyped ahead of Cage's sitdown with Savannah Guthrie to promote his new animated role in DreamWorks' The Croods, hitting theaters Friday. "I'm very much a morning person," he said. "I'm glad to be back, actually." Cage, who turns 50 next year, mused about his resume of 70-something films, saying: "I think eventually when I'm done with all this, I will probably only reflect and live a life of contemplation." The actor, as famous for his eccentric personal life as his eclectic acting repertoire, lives with his wife and 7-year-old son in Las Vegas (which seems fitting, given his well-publicized fascination with Elvis). "I think the paparazzi might have chased me out of Los Angeles," said Cage. "I have a simple life and I'm a lot lighter because of it. I get up in the morning, I drive my kid to school, I go home, I work out, I take my wife to lunch, I pick my kid up from school and that's it, I'm ready for the next movie," he added. In The Croods, about a prehistoric family leaving cave life behind, Cage voices overprotective patriarch Grug, whose credo is: "Fear keeps us alive. Never not be afraid." Emma Stone portrays his his teen daughter Eep ("What a voice," Cage gushed) and Ryan Reynolds is her love interest, Guy. Said Cage: "I think it's no secret that I've tried to take chances in my career and also in my life and I believe to not live in fear. And I would cringe when I would have to say those lines, but that's the character." __________________

That`s really interesting! I didn`t know it, either! Great find! Thanks for posting, pilch92! And, a NIColicious to the castle! Thanks, Lady T., for posting the write-up! Although, I can view the vid, it is interesting to read the review of it! __________________ "When you think about magic, it is imagination plus willpower focused in such a way that you can create a conscious effect in the material world..."

I just saw the interview. Nick not only looked great but it sounds like his life is moving along smoothly now. I am so happy for him. I have been to Las Vegas more times than I can count, but it is an exciting city, especially in certain areas, but in the areas with the locals live, it is quiet and very easy going. The people there are very friendly. I am glad Nick loves living there. Royaltraveler __________________ Royaltraveler
