A lot of people don't know because you changed your last name. Nicolas Cage is the nephew of one of the greatest directors in the history of cinema.

New York, March 22 - Talking about Nicolas Cage means talking about an actor who is a sensation wherever he goes. The 62-year-old American can boast of being one of the most popular and charismatic movie stars Hollywood has ever seen, something he has achieved thanks to his long and illustrious career.

There are many movies that speak for him, and while they are all very well-known, there is one fact that many people do not know - his real name is Nicholas Kim Coppola.

Nicolas Cage is the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola, the legendary director of the "Godfather" films. Now for the million-dollar question: why did he decide to give up such a prestigious last name? The reason he tried to hide his last name was because he did not want to stir up rumors of nepotism.

In other words, he did not want anyone to think that he was getting assignments or rising up the ranks in the industry because of his relationship with one of the greatest directors in history.
