Getting to know Nicolas Cage

Updated on 28 March 2009

By Alex Thomson

Alex Thomson talks to actor Nicolas Cage about climate change, silly haircuts, why he does not want to play the all action hero and his latest blockbuster Knowing.

He owns a castle in Somerset and a Regency house in Bath, but Nicolas Cage's latest film, a futuristic drama about the paranormal, could hardly be more different.

Knowing, which has just opened in the UK, after a strong showing at the US box office, is the tale of a man who can predict disasters coming.

Channel 4 News caught up with the star as he visited London to promote the film and started by asking why he had decided to move away from the action hero.

A warning - some of the clips contain flash photography.
