Nicholas Cage – “I’ll Take Crappy Role, Just Pay Me”

Not that Nicholas Cage ever had much ‘artistic integrity’ to begin with, but did you ever wonder why he’s showing up in every ‘piece of shit’ role in every ‘shithole’ straight to DVD movie imaginable?  You know what I mean.  Those movies that you’re tempted to let your dog dump on before you return them to Redbox?  The answer is simple.  Nick Cage has a spending problem every bit as bad a Johnny Depp’s, but not quite the “Star Powered” salary.

So Nick has to take the McDonald’s approach (although McDonald’s does at least pay lip service to QUALITY), “Make a little bit of profit on a whole lot of burgers” – or movies, in Nick’s case.  Here’s what CNBC reports.

But Cage didn’t hold on to his fortune for long. He squandered it away on a string of expensive and often eccentric purchases, eventually facing foreclosure on several properties and owing the IRS $6.3 million in property taxes.

Now worth around $25 million, Cage is taking roles left and right to help pay off his debts.
