Nicolas Cage finally explains ‘wild’ behaviour in 1990 interview

  • Nicolas Cage has described his iconic 1990 interview with Terry Wogan as "obnoxious and somewhat wild", attributing his behaviour to promoting his film Wild at Heart.
  • During the Wogan interview, Cage performed a somersault, threw money into the audience, and removed his T-shirt, wearing only a leather jacket.
  • He explained the jacket choice as a recreation of a look he remembered from childhood.
  • Wogan never publicly commented on the interview, but Cage speculated that while initially unamused, Wogan later took pride in it.
  • The interview took place during Cage's appearance on Wogan's BBC chat show to promote the David Lynch film.
