Nicolas Cage Clarifies Controversial ‘Homeless’ Remark After Backlash

Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage is setting the record straight after facing criticism over his recent comment describing himself as “a little bit homeless.”

The 62-year-old actor made the remark during an appearance at Los Angeles Comic Con, explaining that damage to his Malibu property had forced him to stay in hotels. A massive sinkhole, linked to coastal erosion and severe weather, had damaged the driveway near his beachfront home.

However, Cage later clarified that his comment was not intended to suggest that he and his family were destitute. Speaking to reporters, he explained that he was referring to his home being unavailable for Halloween celebrations and welcoming trick-or-treaters.

Cage emphasized that his family was doing well despite the disruption.

The incident has sparked wider online discussion about celebrity remarks, homelessness and the public reaction to comments made by high-profile figures.
