Nicolas Cage Goes Ballistic On Set in Romania [Video]

By Christo Varghese Posted Dec 14th 2010 08:19AM

Nicolas Cage had a meltdown outside a nightclub in Bucharest, Romania, over the weekend, and the entire incident was caught on camera.

According to the the Daily Mail, Cage, filming the sequel to 'Ghost Rider,' flew into a rage at around 5AM, verbally abusing what appears to be one man and two women attempting to calm him down.

While it's unclear precisely what Cage is saying in the video, he is definitely angry and some of the more audible statements include "don't touch me" and "this guy should respect me." See the video after the jump.

Cage walks away with what seem to be bodyguards, but moments later he goes back and rants a bit more.

The incident is reminiscent of Christian Bale's vocal explosion on the set of 'Terminator Salvation,' where he went off on the director of photography for distracting him.

For a quick comparison of film and life, we present a brilliant compilation of some classic "Cage Rage" moments in movies [warning: extremely strong language]:

Nick Cage is a perfect example of someone who needs a guardian...He has blown millions...lost homes....been in numerous relationships that failed...Next step is a mental ward...And that will happen as soon as he and the public realizes that he is a has been...plus a lousy actor..

He always gives me the creeps. He seems very unstable. He reminds me of the male version of Angelina Jolie

nothing a hard swift punch to the jaw followed by a kick when he falls won't cure!

Fame and fortune doesn't change people.
It amplifies what they already are.

Theres never any need for anyone to act like this.
Nick seems to believe he is owed some respect..
Respect is an earned thing, its not just given to anyone.
Earn it first Nick, then learn how to speak to others.

When fame and fortune are handed to you by relatives, it's hard to deal with the "little people".

Ol' Nick has been through some bad times the last few years. His last several movies have been flops, I don't think his love life is great and he has had some SERIOUS financial problems.(IRS) But his bud John said he would take care of that for him. Depp feels he owes his career to Cage (who got him started in the biz). He has made some damn good movies (in the past). I think he needs to sell that 48 million dollar jet he couldn't live without, buy his own Caribbean island like his best bud John Depp and chill for about a year.

"Don't you know who I am? Why, I'm an actor! I make beleive I'm other people, and read lines other people wrote! I am not some doctor or nurse, healing someone! So, DON'T LOOK DIRECTLY IN MY EYES!"

why does the public turn so quickly when an actor behaves in a way that is somehow against the accepted norm? geesh, we all have bad times but we can go on a rant w/out anyone pointing fingers and judging. and nicholas cage is and has been a good actor and brought the stories home in all of his films that i have seen. lighten up!

Give him a break. Lots of chaos in his life always but more recently. Father dies; his Grandma dies all within short time. Some things we don't know about the "back story" of these folks.

Can you say.........Prozac

Prozac is a drug for depression, not lunacy

SO SAD!!!......OMG!...Nicolas we 'Loved You so much!' I thought you were "one of the good ones."

It looks to me like he's having a "NERVOUS BREAK DOWN AND NEEDS PROFESSIONAL HELP!"
At the risk of playing 'Amataur Phychiatrist,' I think his behavior also might have something to do with his 'Father Death.'
Still love you so much Nicholas, your sooooo Handsome! And I love your beautiful "Blue Eyes."

Nick is showing all the symptoms of the manic stage of Bipolar disorder, buying multiple things he can't afford until he gets into deeper and deeper debt; drinking too much; having emotional tantrums where he says things he can't control; and on and on. I know because I've been there and have heard of many of these symptoms. One man I heard of went out and bought a big yellow school bus for no reason. Some people go out to save the world. He does need help. He needs to stop drinking so much for one thing. And he needs professional help for whatever is causing him to buy so many houses, planes, boats and whatever else he can't pay for.

By Anita

It seems to me that he has absorbed all his movie characters, who are all psychotic.
