Cage is also known for films such as The Rock (1996), Con Air (1997), Face/Off (1997), Gone in 60 Seconds (2000). However, the actor also agreed to appear in low-quality film projects, making fans “bewildered”.

Recently, Nicolas Cage officially spoke out about his ups and downs in his acting career. According to the actor, his career began to witness decline after the 2008-2009 global financial crisis.

“I invested too much in the real estate sector. At that time, this sector was heavily affected by the crisis and became devastated. At one point, I myself suddenly fell into debt. I remember when I owed $6 million,” Cage said.

After falling into debt, Cage accepted almost all the acting offers sent his way. Although the actor clearly knew that there were many films of poor quality right from the script stage, Cage still accepted the offer to act.

There were times when Cage accepted to star in several such films a year just to quickly have money to pay off his debts.

At a time when economic pressure weighed heavily on his life, Cage found his life quite dark and gloomy. It is the movies that are considered “bad” that help the actor gradually get out of debt and not have to declare bankruptcy.

“Without a doubt, acting has been the guardian angel of my life. Even though there are films that make me criticized, those films are still valuable to my own life. “, Cage said.

Some movies that made Cage criticized a lot include The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010), Outcast (2014), Left Behind (2014). The actor admitted that his failed investments in real estate caused Cage to lose all his assets, have no savings, and even go into debt. This caused Cage to suddenly be strongly influenced by money problems.

There were times when Cage thought he had hit bottom and had only one option left: to declare bankruptcy, but then the actor decided to continue acting in film projects that were considered low quality.

However, there comes a point where Cage’s easygoing nature no longer works. Acting invitations are gradually decreasing because Cage’s reputation is no longer what it used to be, and even “instant noodle” film projects no longer invite Cage. At this time, Cage had to find a way to pay off debt, pay taxes and also have to spend a lot of money because his biological mother had mental health problems.

Cage doesn’t want to let his mother go to the hospital for treatment, but quality outpatient treatment services for patients with mental health problems cost Cage up to 20,000 USD/month (equivalent to 485 million VND). .

Cage fell into a situation where he didn’t have enough money to spend. After that, the actor had to sell some real estate at a loss to have money to pay the bills.

Looking back at the bad movies he has ever acted in, Cage has a respectful view: “When I did up to 4 movies a year, working continuously without a break between projects, I was always trying to find something meaningful.” It means I can put my best effort into the project I’ve accepted to participate in.”

Nicolas Cage was once known as one of the actors who made a lot of money in the film capital of Hollywood. The actor once had a fortune of up to 150 million USD (equivalent to more than 3,600 billion VND), but then Cage quickly collapsed his entire fortune because of real estate investments and wasteful spending.

From spending millions of dollars on villas that were sold at a loss, to collecting… dinosaur skulls and many other strange items, Cage quickly made his fortune “fly away”. After a period of being in debt and at risk of bankruptcy, it is now estimated that Cage has built up a fortune of about $25 million.
