Actor and producer Nicolas Cage, 58, revealed that he has already tried to build a movie studio in Las Vegas and raised US$ 80 million for it, about R$ 385 million. However, he had his plans derailed by Elon Musk, 50, who chose to invest in his company, Tesla, rather than the studio.
“I tried to build a movie studio there and then Elon Musk walked in, and all the money I got for the movie studio — I got $80 million — they put it into the Tesla corporation, which ironically drained all the water in the city. But I almost got it. , I almost got a movie studio,” he said, in an excerpt from an interview with Jimmy Kimmel Live, reproduced by Variety.
The artist currently lives in Las Vegas, and has starred in films such as “Leaving Las Vegas” and “Honeymoon in Vegas”, which has the city as its main setting. “Vegas has been good to me. It’s a small town and a big city. It’s probably one of the most exclusive addresses.”
In January of this year, a rep for the artist confirmed that he will be a father for the third time. The Japanese actress and dancer Riko Shibata, the actor’s wife, is expecting the couple’s first child. Cage met Riko in Japan through mutual friends when he was filming “Prisoners of the Ghostland”.
They were married in a ceremony for few guests at the Wynn Hotel, in Las Vegas, in the United States, in February of last year. The date of the ceremony was chosen to honor the birthday of Cage’s late father, according to People magazine.
The couple exchanged Catholic and Shinto vows, a traditional Japanese religion. The bride wore a handmade bridal kimono in Kyoto, Japan, and Cage, a Tom Ford tuxedo. This is the actor’s fifth marriage. On March 23, 2019, he married makeup artist Erika Koike, but four days later, he filed a petition to annul the union.
