Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight,’ he said: “For the longest time, back from ‘Moonstruck,’ I would walk to the airport, and people just had a habit of saying, ‘Snap out of it!’ from Moonstruck – the Cher ‘snap out of it’ (line) – and I did get slapped a few times.”
Nicolas Cage further added, “Oh yeah, I did! And that, you know, it’s part of the job.” When it comes to why fans felt compelled to act in such a way, Cage joked they might have been aiming for a role.
He said: “I think maybe (they think) I’ll cast them in something. Who knows?”
Nicolas Cage said he almost turned down the movie but agreed to take the role in a deal with his agent because he actually wanted to make the 1989 horror comedy ‘Vampire’s Kiss’.
Nicolas Cage previously told USA Today: “I made that movie on a deal with my then-agent Ed Limato. I was desperately trying to get him to say yes to me doing ‘Vampire’s Kiss’.”He said: ‘No, you’re not going to wear those stupid plastic things. I want you to look handsome! Do Moonstruck!’
“And I said, ‘I don’t want to do Moonstruck!’ I wanted to be punk rock – I didn’t want to do a schmaltzy movie about opera. But I said, ‘If I do Moonstruck, will you let me do Vampire’s Kiss?’ And he said OK.
Nicolas Cage further added, “The truth is, I love ‘Moonstruck’. Now that I’m older, I see the value in [it]. I haven’t seen ‘Moonstruck’ in a million years, but I think it’s powerfully romantic and I love all the performances.”
Meanwhile, his enduring memory of the movie was him and Cher being “freezing in Brooklyn in the winter at night.” He added: “It was that whole big diatribe about, ‘The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. Not us! We are here to ruin ourselves.’
Talking about it, Nicolas Cage added, “That was my favourite bit of writing by (screenwriter) John Patrick Shanley, this powerful soliloquy. That being said, our mouths were frozen and it was so hard to move. It’s very hard to act when you’re freezing.”
