The Two-Headed Snake & Dracula's Castle - Nicolas Cage Clarifies "Legends" About Him
Several urban legends have circulated around the famous American actor Nicolas Cage. He clarified most of them during his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Nicolas Cage returned to a nationally televised talk show for the first time in 14 years on Wednesday to promote his new film - "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent".
On this occasion, the Hollywood actor clarified some urban legends that circulated around him.
"Why I don't know, I was dreaming about two-headed eagles. One night I had this dream and then the next day my manager at the time got a phone call saying 'I've got a two-headed snake that I found in Northridge and I think your client Nic Cage would be interested".
"I bought it," he said.
Though he spent a small fortune on the snake, Nicolas Cage didn't keep it. Apparently, the two heads of the snake didn’t get along, especially during mealtime.
"One head was more dominant than the other. Why? It was going to the same stomach. But I would have to put a spatula between the two heads to feed them and it just got a little too freaky for me. So I took it to the Audubon Zoo…It lived for 14 years and it died just recently."
When Jimmy asked him if his reps get a lot of strange calls of people wanting to sell him stuff, Nicolas spoke about his bird.
"He likes to say hi to me when I walk in the room. He's very smart and when I leave he says 'bye.' I didn't teach him the words. He just came with the vocabulary. And then one day he called me an a-hole and I don't know why. It just came out."
The white crow likes to jump on the guest's heads.
"I say if you want to go in and say hi okay but put these sunglasses on because he has a sharp beak and talons but no one has been hurt."
Cage also said his crow has a really big 16 food dome that he lives in.
"I spent the night there, but I don't think Dracula slept there one night, it's more of a tourist," the actor said, clarifying another urban legend about him.
