The Daily · Nicolas Cage Made Himself a Legend. Then He Had to Live With It. · 23 May 2026 podcast

It's not always a fun process to go there, to go back in that dark corner of your mind or that memory or even look around you at current events in a newspaper to get to that place where you feel the emotion and you feel the grief or you feel the anger so that you don't feel like you're faking it.

Certainly.

I remember specifically on a little movie I made called Joe.

Joe, yeah.

And...

I was having trouble getting to that feeling of intense anger.

And without mentioning names, I recalled a newspaper article I read about a little boy who was at the zoo.

And he fell into a...

well, a cage or an environment of wild painted dogs, the African painted dogs, and they ate the child alive.

And I remember getting very upset about it, that how could something like that happen?

And so in that scene, I was upset that this child that I was sort of mentoring or guiding

was the victim of domestic abuse and of his sister was potentially going to be abducted for other disturbing and horrible things, atrocities.

And so I went and looked at that current event at that time, and then it got me there.

So that would be an example.

So that's a really perfect question.

And if I wake up in the morning...

to use a cliche, on the wrong side of the bed.

And I have to be funny, funny, funny, and happy, happy, happy, and dance, dance, dance, and this and this, bright and sparkling and poppy.

That is more difficult.

That is much more challenging.
