When it comes to love and heartache, few have had an ebb and flow that can rival the ups and downs of the quirky Hollywood actor with an illustrious B-movie catalogue as long as a roll of Priscilla quilted kitchen paper towels - Yes! You've guessed it right - Nicolas Cage. You'd wish Cage was as lucky in love as he was in hurdling his stellar Nic-tacular performances of doomsday prophets or deplorably charming vigilante motorists.
At the top of his list sits his union to Trisha - uh sorry, messed that! It's Patricia Arquette that dealt the deuce. When Cage decided to cannonball into the sea of matrimony, Arquette retailed at an unsalvageable $25,000,000 bauble. With the divorce bringing a mini-jackpot for Patricia Arquette, unfortunately, it was definitely not a winning situation for Cage (Bloody slot machine!). Picture the scene - tens of millions plumbed down a metaphorical marital plumbing, leaving Cage to manage his slightly malnourished looking piggy bank (Gotta feel, eh?). Tiny violins out for poor Nicolas – put those rusty dollars into your ham-packed action fuzz, mate, and surely, your fortune may oscillate back on track.
So, all you lovers out there fervently scribbling love sonnets or single hearts scrolling past teary rom comedies - make sure not to look up to Cousin Nic for matrimonial inspirations. An esteemed member of the $25,000,000 Divorce Club, our man of many acting masks hasn’t had it whale-slim jolly against the aphrodisiac clutches of Cupid’s arrow. All grin and chuck my, Nic – love is priceless till a Sherman tank obliterates your bank vault, eh?
