Nicolas Cage and Wife Have Baby Boy
Monday, October 03, 2005
LOS ANGELES — Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage is a new father.
His wife, Alice Kim Cage, gave birth Monday to a boy, Kal-el Coppola Cage, in New York City, said Cage's Los Angeles-based publicist, Annett Wolf. No other details were available.
"They are healthy and happy and it's quite lovely," Wolf said by phone from New York.
Cage is a nephew of filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola.
The couple married in July 2004. It was the third marriage for Cage and the first for his new wife, who was 20 when they were wed. They met when Cage visited a Los Angeles restaurant where she was working as a waitress.
Cage, 41, who won an Oscar for his role in "Leaving Las Vegas," has a son from a previous relationship.
His screen credits also include "Lord of War," now in theaters, "Adaptation," "Honeymoon in Vegas" and "Moonstruck."
He was previously married to Lisa Marie Presley and actress Patricia Arquette.
Who in Gods name who do that to a child? Someone needs to call CPS and put that kid in a foster home!
Holy shit.
That kid is going to be more messed up then britney spears kid.
Didn't one of the DC Superman artists, Jon Bogdanove, I think, also name his kid "Kal-el"?
Anyone think Nic is still bitter about losing the Superman role?
he is a huge comic fan who about 3 or 4 years ago sold most of his collection off for about 2 million. He had 2 Superman #1's and kept one of them. I think he's just a really big comic-geek.
Yes he is a comic geek.
The surname Cage was taken from Luke Cage.
He has put his name forward for just about any comic book movie rumoured to be produced.
So far he has been linked to both Iron Man & Supes,but finally managed to land the role of Ghost Rider.
I know he's a major comic geek, that's why I wondered if he wasn't bitter about losing the Superman role.
Kal-El?
Nick's kid is the Last Son Of Krypton?
Line the therapists up now.
By Hollwood standards, Kal el is almost normal.
Yeah that poor kid. He is going to have every advantage his father's money can buy, and all he has to deal with is a stupid name.
How will he do it?
By getting his ass repeatidly kicked at school.
it's no different than being named Calvin.......Kal for short.

He's fine as long as he keeps his full name a secret. Which since he's got a famous dad, won't happen.
I'm sure his friends will call him Kal and that will be that. But some kids growing up will make fun of him. I'm sure he'll be as OK as any other Hollywood kid.
Will kids really make fun of him?
Most bullies probably wouldn't get the reference.
Kal-El? That's up there with naming your kid "Apple"...

They don't have to get the reference, Ani. They're bullies. They find the simplest reasons, like say an unusual name for instance, to beat up other kids.

You want to talk about it, big guy? Need a shoulder?

Bullies needing that little provocation will probably just beat you up anyway.

If a bully had to pick someone out of a group to beat up, who do you think they'll target first: Billy, Johnny, Michael, or Kal-el?

True enough, but most people go by shortened nick names - William becoms "Billy," Jonathan becomes "Jon" or "Johnny," Michael becomes "Mike," etc. So, is less likely that he'll go by "Kal-El" than just plain "Kal"...

At the fancy private schools daddy's money can buy?
Not to mention he can drop a few bucks to buy somebody to beat up said bully.,
Bullies have rich parents too.

Unless his parents are those kind of parents who insist their kids are to be called exactly what they want them to be called.
I knew a bunch who insisted on "James" or "Michael" or "Jonathan" etc. If he goes into school and his mom says "We call him Kal," he may be ok. But if they say, "His name is Kal-El," well, line the bullies up and get it started.
Maybe when Kal-El Cage is old enough, he'll hook up with Harley Quinn Smith, Kevin Smith's daughter...or at least share therapists...
please dont make a mockery of what proc has done here
And tonight, we look at Shermer, Illinois....
What nobody has considered is that as a son of a big shot actor,little Kal-El is likely to become a bully rather than be bullied!
At least Harley sounds normal.
....for a motorcycle, you mean?

*quietly scratches "Apple Grimmonowski" off list. . .*
I picture nick cage for the role of Uatu the Watcher!
Or as that huge-foreheaded villain from Hulk
nobody must know what i named my kid...
im not even sure if i have a son or a dauhgter
check to see if it has a wee wee or a hoo hoo.
my wife wont let me near it says it would be a jinx on its career
Dude you were the bomb in Never Been Kissed.
You do know that both the character and the motorcycle companys' names had to come from somewhere right?
The Harley of Harley Davidson was a surname,not a forename!
That would be like someone calling their kid Kamphausen or Batty!
Kamphausen is actually a good forename. I would name my kid that if someone paid me.
You want your kid to be gay?
No, but if it happens I'll support him through it.
