Born Nicolas Kim Coppola in 1962, he changed his name to Nicolas Cage to escape the shadow of his famous uncle, Francis Ford Coppola. Inspired by avant-garde musician John Cage and Marvel’s Luke Cage, the name gave him freedom and identity, first felt in Valley Girl (1983). Cage rose to fame with roles in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Moonstruck, and Leaving Las Vegas, winning an Oscar and becoming one of Hollywood’s most in-demand stars. Yet for Cage, family has always come first — a truth that continues to define his life off-screen.
