If you just saw him on the street, you probably wouldn't guess that this is the son of Nicolas Cage. If you saw him performing with his band, you definitely wouldn't guess that this is Nicolas Cage's son. The photos below are, indeed, Nicolas Cage's son.
Aside from Weston Cage Coppola's name being different from his father's (for career reasons), the two do share some similar passions. Coppola is currently pursuing his career in acting, recently landed his first lead role, and has also seen success in the past with his music career. His songs have been featured on several soundtracks and while acting is his main passion, he also has several hobbies (including martial arts!) that many don't know about.
So who is the man born to the National Treasure and Matchstick Men star? None other than Weston Cage Coppola.
20 He's Married To A Pretty Important Woman
Although it's not his first marriage, Coppola is currently married to Hila Aronian. After proposing back in 2018, the star posted on his social media, 'ENGAGED AT LAST. Finally true love is no longer a fantasy.' This came in riding immediately on the heels of his divorce, which many fans speculated about.
19 Before That, He Was Divorced Twice
His first two marriages were to Nikki Williams and then to Danielle Cage, who is the mother of his son. While the first two relationships didn't pan out, it would seem that the third time is the charm, as Coppola held nothing back when declaring his love for his current wife, Hila Aronian.
18 He's Not Just A Metalhead, He Actually Plays Metal
The actor is clearly multi-talented, as he's been known to rock out more than once or twice. His band, Eves of Noctum, is a tribute to metal music in all its headbanging glory. While his makeup resembles a gothic version of KISS, his music is pretty popular and was featured on several soundtracks.
17 And He Took It A Step Further And Created His Own Version Of Metal Music
Calling it 'ghost metal', the star coined the term with the use of his own band. While music is one of his passions, it's his acting career that he's currently pursuing. Don't underestimate the metal-love, though - the star considers his love for both passions to be mutual.
16 Nicolas Cage, His Father, Collabed With Him On A Song
We all know that Nicolas Cage can get crazy when he wants to (have you seen Mom and Dad? Geez), and apparently this worked out pretty well for a collab with his son. While his singing in The Family Man wasn't necessarily on point, you can rest assured that the father-son duo collab is nothing short of brilliant.
15 His Net Worth Is Pretty High, But His Salary Is Surprising
Interestingly enough, Coppola has a net worth that's estimated to be something like two million. Despite such a grandiose number, his annual salary has been estimated to fall somewhere around fifty-two thousand per year. While that's not modest by any means, it's surprising for a Hollywood actor.
14 He's Multi-Lingual And Knows How To Wield A Sword
He has brains and brawn, we'll give him that. In addition to his creative talents, the star is also able to speak several languages. Of those included are Italian, Greek, Russian, German, and, of course, English. Good for acting and good for potential CIA work.
13 His Heart Is In A Good Place, He Runs A Charity With His Mother
The charity is called the Single Mom Foundation, and the star actually runs it with his mother. This isn't the only charity he's been associated with, though. He's also been seen at events such as the World Boots launch party, which is associated with the Soul 4 Soles charity organization.
12 At Only 16 Years Old, He Co-Authored A Comic Book With His Father
The list of hobbies is seemingly neverending. At a young age, the star authored a comic book with his father called Voodoo Child. He was only 16 years old when he and his father created the comic series, and it's somewhat of a (very) dark superhero storyline that takes place in New Orleans.
11 His Acting Has Been Compared To Some Well-Known Legends
Two of which have been Joaquin Phoenix and Marlon Brando, which are strong and encouraging words coming from those who know him. While his acting is quite powerful and somewhat brooding, it's also been stated that he has 'unconventional' skills in front of the camera. Where has this guy been hiding?
10 One Of His Jobs Is Being A Stay-At-Home Dad
He is currently pursuing acting, but the star had a pretty important job prior to that. The role of a stay at home dad is one that many love, including Coppola. His son is clearly the most important thing in the world to him, and it's not surprising that he, like other celebs, took off time - three years, specifically - to raise him.
9 Speaking Of Which, He Has One Son From A Previous Marriage
Coppola had his son while he was married to Danielle Cage, and his name is Lucian Augustus Coppola. It's a hefty name for a little boy but one that means honor, pride, and, well, Roman gladiators. We're sure this was no mistake, and it seems pretty fitting for the song of Coppola.
8 He's No Stranger To Martial Arts
It's also a fact that Coppola could probably kick some butt pretty well, as he has studied martial arts (Russian martial arts, specific). Combine that with the fact that he speaks several different languages, and we might not be kidding about the CIA in training thing.
7 His Police Record Isn't Exactly Clean
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that could ever be a reality, because Coppola does have a bit of a tainted police record.
The star has made some shifty decisions in the past, including speeding and driving under the influence, things many stars are sadly responsible for doing.
6 But He Did Have One Wild Car Chase
One well-known police incident involved Coppola pulling a scene from the Fast and the Furious where he attempted to outrun the cops in a wild police chase. His legal trouble eventually resulted in his admittance to the hospital under mental evaluation.
5 He's Appeared In Some Popular Movies But Has Also Been Featured On Soundtracks
His movie appearances include the roles of Luke Watson in the movie 211 (alongside his father), Patton Maxwell in Get Gone, Vladimir in Lord of War, and his most recent lead role as Lt. Col. James Earl Rudder in the movie D-Day. His songs Black Sun Damascus, Annihilate, Drive Angry, and Divination can be heard in films.
4 Lately, He's Been Focusing His Efforts On Acting
The reason for his name change is a personal one, as the actor believed it would potentially hinder his ability to make a name for himself. We can't blame him, as many celebrity kids notice that they get recognition simply because they're the son or daughter of a major celebrity.
3 His Most Recent Movie Was D-Day, Where He Actually Played His First Lead Role
The movie, which came out this previous year, is a big one for Coppola. Based on a true story, he played a lead role in this war film, which will undoubtedly propel his acting career forward. D-Day came out last summer and if the actor has anything to say about it, it won't be his last big role.
2 His Passion For Acting Stems From A Personal Love, Not His Family History
Despite what many people think, Coppola's passion for acting doesn't actually stem from his family's history of it. Rather, the actor has an organic passion for the career field, stemming from nothing other than his own interest and dedication to taking on the role of another person.
1 He Describes Taking On The Role Of A Character As Being In A 'Trance'
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Coppola claims that acting, for him, is almost trance-like. Rather than be in character the entire time he's on a set, he prefers to only be in-character when it comes time to read lines and be in front of the camera.
