Nicolas Cage Reveals the NSFW Reason He Almost Bought a Bat Cave

The cave, according to Cage, was filled with “stalactites,” “milky quartz” and “crystalline walls” that instantly caught his attention and inspired his nude fantasy. 

Unfortunately, while it was a beautiful dream, it didn’t come true. “Needless to say, I didn’t buy the cave,” he said. “And there were no bats.”

But the incredible stories didn’t stop there. Cage also confirmed the legend that he once turned $200 into $20,000 while playing roulette at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas.

“I did it in about half an hour,” he recalled. “I went to the roulette table and I just know I had every number I chose—and I often would choose the same number—it kept winning.”  

Describing the moment as true “magic,” the actor shared that he couldn’t let the good “mojo” he felt go to waste and paid it forward. 

“The next day, I said, ‘You know, this is so special.'” He said. “I went and found an orphanage, met all of the children, and I said to the headmistress, ‘This is for you.’ Put down $20,000 cash in her hand and I never gambled again.”
