Nicolas Cage claims to remember being in his mother's womb

What’s your earliest memory? For some, it’s the first day of school - or perhaps a birthday party, or opening presents on Christmas day. Some can remember further back than others, like film legend Nicolas Cage who believes his earliest memories are from his time in the womb ... right.

Speaking on Stephen Colbert’s The Late Show, Cage was asked a series of questions and answered them in a way only Nicolas Cage could.

On the topic of zany, take a look at the new trailer for Twisted Metal.

When asked what his earliest memory was, Cage said, “Let me think. Listen, I know this sounds really far out and I don’t know if it’s real or not, but sometimes I think I can go all the way back to in-utero and feeling like I could see faces in the dark or something. I know that sounds powerfully abstract, but that somehow seems like maybe it happened.”

Cage went on to say, “Now that I am no longer in-utero, I would have to imagine it was perhaps vocal vibrations resonating through to me at that stage.” This is certainly a 'full-Cage' moment and if there’s even the slightest bit of truth to the story, Cage has an extremely impressive memory. Whether or not he genuinely believes he can remember that far back or just wanted to say something wacky for the audience remains a mystery, much like Cage himself.

Nicolas Cage has actually seen a bit of a resurgence in popularity recently, following his meta-film The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent where he played himself. More recently, he took on the role of Dracula in the latest comedy-horror film Renfield.

There are also rumours circulating that he’ll be making a cameo appearance in the upcoming DC film The Flash, where he’ll be playing a variant of Superman. Cage was originally supposed to play the Man Of Steel in the cancelled Superman Lives, a film that was supposed to release in the 1990s and was to be directed by Tim Burton, before facing cancellation, robbing us of Super-Cage.
