Nicolas Cage has told Marilyn Manson in a new interview about the time he made $20,000 gambling before giving it to charity.<\/p>\n
The actor opened up to the musician, who he has been friends with for years, in a new feature for Interview magazine in which the pair reflected on Cages life and career.<\/p>\n
Manson asked Cage about his gambling habits, considering the actor currently lives in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
The last time I gambled was about 30 years ago, Cage replied. I was in the Bahamas, and I walked into a casino and felt like I had my mojo with me, like nothing could go wrong.<\/p>\n
He went on to explain: My game was roulette. I went in with $200, and I didnt miss a number, so much so that even the lady spinning the wheel said, Nothing sweeter than a repeater.<\/p>\n
In 20 minutes I turned $200 into $20,000, so I went and found an orphanage in the Bahamas, met all the kids and the headmistress, and said, This is for you. I put the 20 grand in her hand, walked away, and never gambled again, because if I did, it would ruin the power of that moment.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Nicolas Cage reflected on his career to date in a Reel Talk interview with NME, acknowledging how nostalgia might play a big part in fans supporting his career.<\/p>\n
There seems to be something happening on the Internet with people who have followed my career, Cage began. Some of the movies are returning in a way that I think is making them more interesting, which Im thankful for.<\/p>\n
Its truly something that I see as good news. But Im not nostalgic about my early work and Im always trying to feel where I can go and how I can go forward.<\/p>\n
Cage will next be starring inThe Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, playing a version of himself.<\/p>\n
