With the recent release of the film A Talent in Solid Gold, Nicolas Cage reveals some crisp anecdotes about his career, an alternative universe where he would have played in the Lord of the Rings and Matrix trilogies.
And yes, in a parallel world, Neo and Aragorn are interpreted by Nicolas Cage in person. With the release of the film A Solid Gold Talent, Nicolas Cage (incidentally the nephew of the director Francis Ford Coppola) takes advantage of the promotion of the latter to confirm or invalidate certain rumors around his career. In an interview with the magazine Peoplehe justifies some of his choices which may have turned out to be strange for the general public, such as for example his refusal to play The Lord of the Rings et Matrix.
I turned down Lord of the Rings and I turned down The Matrix because I didn’t want to go to New Zealand for three years or Australia for three years, because I needed to be home with my son Weston, it is a fact.
Nicolas Cage has always wanted to put his family before his career. He is now the father of two children, Weston and Kal-El. He is currently expecting a third with his wife Riko Shibata. Later in the interview, the actor does not hesitate to put his career and his profession into perspective.
I always tell myself that I never needed a career, only a job. What I mean by that is that sometimes – and I’m not targeting anyone – you can be stubborn about this career-related view of “self”, and that can lead you to believing your own myth and to take you way too seriously.
A Solid Gold Talent has been available in cinemas in France since April 20, 2022. The film plays with the image of Nicolas Cage, since he embodies a character drawn from his own person. He comes face to face with a younger version of himself, forcing him to take stock of his career.
