"I was certain I was from another planet"

Nicolas Cage spent part of his childhood convinced he was an alien from another planet.

While speaking to Rampstyle, the 58-year-old actor revealed, "My father told me he felt like he had to introduce himself to me because I was such an alien."

"I was shocked the day I went to the doctor's office as a child and I found out that I had normal organs and a normal skeleton," he recalled, "because I was certain I was from another planet."

The "National Treasure" star also shared that he found it difficult to connect with people growing up and pursued a career in the arts to better do so.

"I had difficulties connecting with people," he continued. "When I saw David Bowie in 'The Man Who Fell to Earth,' I realized I needed to do something, so I became an actor."
