Nicolas Cage on acting with a pig: "She was very, like many of us, payment-oriented"
The actor discusses the upcoming Pig and his love of animals in new interview
Of the current crop of absurd Nicolas Cage film projects—a list that includes loglines like “Five Nights At Freddy’s but it’s a movie now” and “secret martial arts sect swordfights alien” —the one where he plays a reclusive chef determined to track down his stolen truffle pig has turned out far better than its summary suggests. And, aside from providing audiences with a good movie to go see, Pig has also given Nicolas Cage a reason to get back out there and do interviews about his animal friends.
Speaking to GQ, Cage explains that he loves working with animals because “magical things happen when you have a scene with a dog or a cat” or “any animal, really.” Of his Pig co-star Brandy, he says “she was very, like many of us, payment-oriented.”
