The Unbearably Talented Nicolas Cage
Nicolas Kim Coppola – but you probably know him better as Nicolas Cage, the “unbearably talented nephew.” By adopting this stage name, Cage tried to cut ties with his famously influential uncle-the one who brought us “The Godfather” and “Apocalypse Now.” It's a common Hollywood move: change your surname to dodge the ever-looming shadows of nepotism. Of course, even the greenest Hollywood producer knows who Nicolas really is. This stunt mostly works on the average moviegoer. Regular people just don’t like incredibly talented relatives who land all the plum gigs, and they tend to view such folks with barely concealed disdain. So, to avoid the nepotism trap, many opt for a pseudonym. Not everyone, though-Michael Douglas or Jamie Lee Curtis became stars just fine with their parents’ famous last names (though Douglas did catch some flak early on for being in, shall we say, his father’s “long shadow”).
