Oddball, hellraiser and Oscar-winning Hollywood A-lister, Nicolas Cage admits that at long last, life's just great By Rick Fulton
NICOLAS CAGE used to be Wild at Heart - dubbed the new Jack Nicholson because of his heavy drinking and womanising.
But the actor who once ate a live cockroach on screen, claims he feels like "a new man" thanks to his third wife, former waitress Alice Kim.
He said: "I've gone through some difficult times over the last few years and then things suddenly turned around for me when I met Alice and a lot of the fog just cleared away.
"She's so down-to-earth and she's made me a better man by being who she is and getting me to stop flying off in all directions just because I'm some sort of strange celebrity.
He said: "From the very first moment I met Alice, I knew I was in love.
"And a few days later, I knew she would make a great partner. Alice travels everywhere with me. We have an extraordinary understanding and way of being together.
Gone is the edgy, slightly manic actor and in its place an older (he celebrated his 42nd birthday last Saturday) and happier star.
He said: "I've been involved in terrible relationships before where I was a lot closer in age to the women I was with and look what happened.
"So it's not a question of age.
"Although maybe it is, maybe I needed to be with someone much younger and with such a fresh and open perspective on the world.
"I'm so happy today and I can honestly say that I've never felt better than I do now. Alice is the best thing that's ever happened to me and I don't mind admitting that she even chooses my clothes. I love it.
"I feel like a new man."
I wasn't expecting it, I wasn't expecting happiness, but it just landed on me and I'm not looking back. It may sound corny, but my life is really beautiful right now."

iam really happy for nic he deserves to be happy and i hope he really is.
however the bit of the interview that says gone is the edgy, slightly manic actor (its not the best description of him) but iam worried that maybe the cool, edgy part of nic that we all know and love is slowly changing. maybe iam reading too much into it but i became a nic fan because nic was different, wild and a bit unusual compared to all the other pretty boy actors. i hope that part of him is still there.
i wish nic all the best and i do hope he is really happy and living life the way he wants
I was left with the same impression. I don't want that part of him to change!
