5. He Used To Take Magic Mushrooms With His Cat
No, you did not read that sentence wrong. Nicolas Cage really did take magic mushrooms with his cat. The revelation came on Cage's appearance on Tonight With David Letterman in 2010 after the host had asked the financially-troubled star if he had ever gotten drunk in high school. Cage's response was priceless. Quick as a flash he said that his cat Lewis had adored a bag of magic mushrooms that Cage kept in the back of his fridge. 'It was like cat-nip to him', said Cage. 'He ate them voraciously'. Cage, not one to turn down an opportunity to party, decided he should probably take the mushrooms with him. Cage said that he remembered lying on his bed for hours, just staring at Lewis who was sitting on a desk across the room. Just staring, not moving. The kicker? Cage said that during this intense experience that he 'had no doubt' that Lewis was 'his brother'.
