The actor filed for divorce just four days after the ceremony
Nicolas Cage has filed for a marriage annulment just four days after getting married whilst drunk in Las Vegas.
The Hollywood actor applied for a marriage licence with Erika Koike on March 23, 2019 and the pair were married the same day in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Just four days later, Cage then filed for an annulment with documents stating that the pair had been “drinking to the point of intoxication.”
Cage said that due to his intoxication, he “lacked understanding” and “reacted on impulse without the ability to recognise or understand the full impact of his actions.”
He added that Koike did not tell him about “the full nature and extend of her relationship with another person” and that “such conflict in personalities and dispositions that are so deep as to render the two incompatible in marriage.”
Nicolas Cage
The cult actor has become a beloved figure online in recent years – leading to a phenomenon dubbed “Cage Rage” that sees clips of the actor being placed in out-of-context scenarios.
Speaking about how the culture affected his last film, Cage added: “I think that [Mandy hasn’t] been given perhaps a fair viewing by virtue of the fact that the internet has mashed them up with these moments that have been cherry-picked, that aren’t really in the context of the character or how the character got there. I have to be honest.”
