Nicolas Cage officially changed his name after decades

Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage officially changed his name last year. It is a decision that many fans did not expect.

Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage made a surprising move last year – he officially changed the name he has used for decades. The news came out through E! News and caused a stir among his fans.

Cage, who is known for his roles in films such as "Leaving Las Vegas" and the "National Treasure" series, had used a stage name for years. His real surname is Coppola – he is the nephew of director Francis Ford Coppola. He originally took the stage name to avoid accusations of nepotism and to build his own career independently.

Now the actor has decided to make an official change to his documents, which means his stage name has also become his legal name. The exact reason why he took this step now has not been explained in detail publicly, but it is known that Cage has become increasingly open about his personal life in recent years.
