These cute twins have NEVER seen their grandpa, who is a legendary star actor But why was he banned from seeing them?? See his name and the reason in the comments

His first lead role under his new name came in the 1983 film *Valley Girl*, and Cage described the experience as freeing. “It felt like a weight was lifted off me,” he told *Hollywood Reporter*. “You can see the difference in *Valley Girl*—I’m completely free. But in *Fast Times* and even *Rumble Fish* (directed by his uncle), I felt constrained.”

From that point forward, Cage’s career skyrocketed. By 1988, he was nominated for Golden Globes for his performances in *Moonstruck* and *Honeymoon in Vegas*. That same year, he welcomed his first son, Weston Coppola Cage, with actress Christina Fulton.

Cage’s personal life has been just as eventful as his career, including an Oscar win for *Leaving Las Vegas* in 1995. He shares a son, Kal-El (named after Superman), with his third wife, Alice Kim, and a daughter, August Francesca, born in 2022 with his fifth wife, Riko Shibata.

Family has always been Cage’s top priority. In an interview with *People*, he emphasized, “There’s no version of Nick Cage that doesn’t put family above everything else.” In fact, he famously turned down roles in *The Lord of the Rings* and *The Matrix* because he didn’t want to spend years filming abroad, away from his son Weston.

Actress Minnie Driver once shared a story of seeing Cage on a plane with his son—and an extra seat reserved for his son’s imaginary friend. This story highlights Cage’s deep connection with his children, which extends to his grandchildren as well. Cage enjoys a close relationship with Weston’s sons, Lucian and Sorin, but tragically, he has never met his twin granddaughters, Cyress and Venice, born in 2020.
