At the turn of the 2010s, Nicolas Cage's career began to seriously falter with a series of box office disappointments.

A myriad of flops titled

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

,

Hell Driver

or even the catastrophic

Ghost Rider 2

which will have gently pushed the star of

Sailor and Lula

into the dark territories of B series cinema, then chaining films which will often not be released. indoors.

It must be said that Nicolas Cage no longer had the means to be choosy.

At the time, he was simply broke after squandering an estimated $150 million fortune on villas, castles and deserted islands, not to mention Leonardo DiCaprio's blown dinosaur bone for $7 million at a sale to auction.

Over-indebted and sued by the tax authorities to the tune of 6.3 million dollars, Nicolas Cage was cornered.

“I had all these creditors and the taxman on my back and I was spending $20,000 a month to keep my mother out of the psychiatric hospital and it was impossible.

Everything was falling on me at the same time, ”remembered the actor during an interview with

GQ

.

But if he was forced to accept all the roles offered to him, Nicolas Cage always put his heart into it.

A misunderstanding

“When I was making four films a year in a row, I still had to find something in them that allowed me to give my all.

They didn't all work,” continued Nicolas Cage.

“Some were great, like

Mandy

, and some weren't working.

But I never took it lightly.

So if there has been a misunderstanding, it is on this.

On the fact that I did them without investing myself.

This was not the case.

According to the publication, Nicolas Cage has now finished paying his debts and the tide seems to be turning.

His latest film,

Un Talent en Or Massif

, a film in which he plays himself, was presented at the South by Southwest festival where it was, it seems, very popular.

The film already has a rating of 9/10 on IMDb!
