    Did you know: Nic Cage’s real name is Nicholas Kim Coppola?

    He’s part of the Coppola family but wanted to avoid (the appearance of) nepotism.

    Wikipedia doesn’t indicate whether he’s also related to the North Korean ruling family, took the surname of his third wife and kept it even though he’s been married to two others since then, or neither.

    It’s PROBABLY neither, but I personally like that there’s a nonzero chance that it’s not 😁

      I’d like to think he got involved with that marriage to get his hands on some artifacts or dinosaur bones. That he then had to give back and pay crazy taxes on.
