Nicolas Cage is to host a six-part series for Netflix investigating the history of swearwords.
It was Cage’s idea for his character in 1996 smash The Rock not to swear, instead preferring phrases such as “gee whiz”.
Each episode with focus on a particular expletive: “fuck”, “shit”, “bitch”, “dick”, “pussy” and “damn”.
Despite a reputation for advanced yelling, Cage is not one of the most sweary actors in Hollywood, failing to break into the top 10 in a study released earlier this year.
