Nicolas Cage used to get high on mushrooms with his cat, who he thought was his brother.
The eccentric star, who has built himself a pyramid tomb, opened up about his past drug use while promoting The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
"I had a bag of mushrooms in my refrigerator. My cat used to sneak into the refrigerator and eat them. The cat ate them voraciously, so I thought what the heck, I better do it with him.
"I remember lying on my bed for hours and Lewis was on the desk across my bed and we just stared at each other for hours – not moving, just staring at each other, and I had no doubt that he was my brother.
Cage reckons he doesn't do mushies with his moggy anymore, but the moggy does chat to him.
"You know what, later in life when I was completely not doing any of that, I know he said hi to me."
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. If you were a cat that could suddenly talk, you think you'd come up with something more exciting to say than just 'Hi'.
