Nicolas Cage finally explains ‘wild' behaviour in 1990 interview
Nicolas Cage has described his iconic 1990 interview with Terry Wogan as "obnoxious and somewhat wild", attributing his behaviour to promoting his film Wild at Heart.
During the Wogan interview, Cage performed a somersault, threw money into the audience, and removed his T-shirt, wearing only a leather jacket.
He explained the jacket choice as a recreation of a look he remembered from childhood.
Wogan never publicly commented on the interview, but Cage speculated that while initially unamused, Wogan later took pride in it.
The interview took place during Cage's appearance on Wogan's BBC chat show to promote the David Lynch film.
