While discussing his new film The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, where he plays a fictionalized version of himself, Nicolas admitted his attentiveness to his family is what separates him from his onscreen character.

“There is a huge disparity between that Nic Cage in Massive Talent and the Nic Cage sitting in front of you right now,” he explained to People.

“First and foremost … there’s no version of Nic Cage in reality that doesn’t want to spend time with his children. There’s no version of Nic Cage that didn’t put family first over career,” Nicolas shared.

According to Nic, he “turned down Lord of the Rings and turned down Matrix because [he] didn’t want to go to New Zealand for three years or Australia for three years.” “I needed to be home with my son Weston,” he said, adding, “That’s a fact.”
