Nicolas Cage and his desire for superheroes
The personality or those special tastes that Nicolas Cage has are not only limited to properties or cars. This desire to be different has led him to change his last name to a more "special" one, as well as to name his son after his favorite superhero, Superman.
Although as an actor he is already recognized by the name Nicolas Cage, this is not his real last name. His birth name is Nicolas Kim Coppola. A few decades ago he decided to change it, not only to escape the burden he carried for being the nephew of the famous director Francis Ford Coppola, but also because of the great admiration he had for the Marvel superhero Luke Cage since childhood.
Although this strange idea of changing his last name to that of a superhero may have sounded a bit crazy to some, for Nicolas it was the opposite. He even made it a family tradition and that's how he decided to name his son after a superhero as well.
Nicolas Cage named his son after Superman
When Nicolas Cage became a father, he chose a name for his son after Superman. According to the actor's statements, he named one of his 2 children "Kal-El". It is worth noting that it is the original name of Clark Kent. When he explained the reason why he chose this superhero, he assured me that this name symbolizes goodness, originality, and the United States of America.
Likewise, he made it very clear what his passion is for the world of superheroes. He has come to show the ten collection pieces that he has acquired. They probably cost him a fortune, but the actor has no problem showing off.
In fact, proudly, he showed off one of his most famous acquisitions: the first original copy of "Superman" for 130 thousand dollars. It was a piece that – when it went bankrupt – he sold for 1.7 million.
