Nicolas Cage isn't shy about his love for his and Riko Shibata's 6-month-old daughter, August.
"She's singing really good songs. Her first song -- I was very happy about it -- naturally, it was about me," Cage told ET of his daughter, whose nickname is Auggie."She went, 'Da da da, oun ja, oun ja.' I thought it was a great song. I'm gonna steal it and I'm gonna get rich off my daughter's song."
As for his favorite part of fatherhood, Cage said, "Reliving the experience of childhood brings it all back, and seeing how she's discovering new experiences." This isn't Cage's first go-around as a dad, he also has two sons, Kal-El, 17, Weston, 32, from previous relationships. Cage's two eldest children are old enough to have watched his work and count 2019's "I'm not entirely sure," Cage said of why those two films stand out to his kids, before joking, "I think they have good taste.", in which he plays Dracula, will become another favorite for his offspring.
"It helps with performance," he said."Anything you can do from the outside, you can bring the inside out, it helps." From Cage's point of view, that transformation only came into effect when the cameras were rolling, despite director Chris McKay's"That's not my recollection of the experience. I don't know where the director's coming from. I guess that was his experience," Cage told ET. "I thought we had a lot of laughs between takes. Maybe it was because I had the fangs in my mouth and I sounded like Dracula with the fangs, but I don't know.
