Nicolas Cage on being ignored by Christopher Nolan
Speaking to The New York Times, Nicolas Cage confessed that high-profile filmmakers take actors' role rejection personally. The 62-year-old actor stated that Nolan never returned his calls after he declined his offer to appear in his 2002 movie Insomnia. He stated, "Most of them got their feelings hurt and don't call you back. It's happened a million times to me."
In addition, Nicolas Cage also named another name, i.e., Paul Thomas Anderson. He said that he had been in talks to work with the director (best known for One Battle After Another) on a very early movie in his career. “He'd shown me a short film with late actor Philip Baker Hall, who was in Hard Eight. And we were going to do something, and it didn't work out,” Nicolas Cage stated.
