Nic Cage’s animal kingdom
The actor on his favourite fauna, including his co-stars in new film BUTCHER’S CROSSING
ILLUSTRATION RUSSELL MOORCROFT
OF THE 110 CREDITS on Nicolas Cage’s IMDb page, a huge proportion of them list animals as co-stars. There’s a pig in, well, Pig, a jaguar in Primal, and a bunny in Con Air. He adds a few more animals in his latest film, Butcher’s Crossing; here, the tireless actor tells Empire why he can’t stop working with creatures great and small.
