When Nicolas Cage took drugs with his cat
By IANSSaturday, July 17, 2010
LONDON - Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage had once taken hallucinogenic drug-laced magic mushrooms with his cat after the feline mistakenly ate a handful.
The star had stashed a bag of the psychedelic fungi in his fridge and was shocked when his pet Lewis pulled the door open and munched on the mushrooms.
So Cage decided to join in - and he and Lewis then spent hours staring at each other in his bedroom.
“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,” The Daily Express quoted the actor as telling U.S. host David Letterman.
He added: “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.
“But having said that I don’t do that anymore. And you know what, later in life when I was completely not doing any of that, I know he said ‘Hi’ to me.” (ANI)
