Having that one eccentric person in our lives makes it all seem that bit more interesting. It could be a far away relation that appears at the holidays adorned with homemade gifts, the teacher who insists on wearing a full-size top hat to every class, or the yodeller down the hall that wears clogs in everyday life. Whoever the unique personality is in your life, it’s safe to say that they make day to day life interesting. Hollywood is no exception to the wonderful over the top characters and mind-boggling individuals in this world. One actress with a unique personality is Helena Bonham Carter who is known for playing over the top roles, as well as promoting the movie “Avatar” (that she wasn’t even in) instead of her own ‘Alice in Wonderland’. Angelina Jolie is another on the list as she has a collection of blood from her ex-partners, as well as having tried nearly every narcotic there is. And what list of eccentric individuals would be complete without Shia LaBeouf who has done, well, just about everything. From wearing a paper bag on his head to an awards ceremony to creating that memorable video, Shia sure does come in the eccentric category.
However, there is one man that also deserves to be on the list. But not only this list – he would top out on one for being one of the most sought-after and hard working actors in Hollywood too. That man is Nicolas Cage. He has been credited in a staggering 91 films over more than three decades in the acting world. But with his strange habits and purchases, Nicolas Cage is a man that is hard to take your eyes off. He has given us some of the most memorable movies of all time as well as some of the most recognized faces!
So how did the man make it to where he is today? Well, with a family like Nicholas Cage’s it isn’t hard to see how he is who he is. That doesn’t mean that life has always been easy for the actor though. With troubles lurking on the horizon, it appears as though life for this Hollywood superstar could soon be making a drastic change.

Nicolas Kim Coppola was born on January 7, 1964, in California to parents Joy Vogelsang and August Coppola. He is the youngest of three boys. His oldest brother Marc is six years older and went on to become a radio DJ, while Christopher is only two years older and became a film producer and director. Both of Nicolas’ brothers kept the surname Coppola for their careers, but Nicolas made the change to Cage in his teens, so he wasn’t confused with his uncle…
