Now, in a new interview with GQ, Cage explained the basis behind accepting the roles stemmed from a refusal to file for bankruptcy.
Nicolas Cage has defended starring in so many straight-to-VOD films, while explaining what he spent the money on.
“When I talk about fair-weather friends in Hollywood, I’m not talking about Jerry Bruckheimer,” Cage said, referring to the National Treasure producer.
These films arrived amid reports that the actor spent the entirety of his $150m fortune and was in deep debt after owing the IRS property taxes of $6.3m.
