Actor Nicolas Cage has claimed that he gets "mistaken" for singer Nick Cave "almost every day".
The actor stated this while speaking to The Guardian, promoting his latest movie, The Surfer, where he stars in a psychological thriller as a man who returns from the idyllic beach of his youth to find his son, only to be tormented by a conflict with local residents which escalates to surreal levels.
“I don’t think there’s a day that goes by where I’m not mistaken for Nick Cave", Cage said of his name sake.
When asked about the time that he and Nick Cave even crossed paths, Nicolas Cage added: “I do remember that Cave was very nice. We were at an animal sanctuary, I believe – I think Sealy Animal Hospital in Texas – and he was terrific. I said hello and wanted to shake his hand. I said: ‘Only one letter separates us – G. Nick Cave, Nick Cage".

In 2023, Nicolas Cage said that he was close to moving on from making movies to working in episodic television. In an interview, Cage said that he was “pretty much said what I’ve had to say with cinema".
