00:09Nicolas Cage interpreta Nicolas Cage, melhor, uma versão dele mesmo, no filme O Peso do Talento.
00:18Na história, o astro não encontra trabalho e as dívidas se acumulam.
00:24A salvação aparece quando um aniversariante oferece um milhão de dólares para o ator aparecer na festa dele.
00:33Parecia dinheiro fácil, até que Cage é avisado que o sujeito é perigoso e a polícia está de olho nele.
00:43Ele já foi um dos atores mais bem pagos de Hollywood.
00:48Chegou a fazer 40 milhões de dólares em um ano, mas aí vieram os problemas financeiros.
00:56Quase perdeu todas as casas, processou o gerente que cuidava das finanças e foi obrigado a fazer um acordo com
01:03o Imposto de Renda para pagar uma dívida de 14 milhões de dólares.
01:08Segundo o canal americano CNBC, o ator perdeu uma fortuna de aproximadamente 150 milhões de dólares.
01:16Entre outras coisas, o astro comprou 15 mansões e castelos nos Estados Unidos e na Europa.
01:23Os gastos incluíram uma ilha e um crânio de dinossauro.
01:28O peso do talento lembra alguns dos clássicos de Nicolas Cage, entre eles A Outra Face, Despedida em Las Vegas
01:37e 60 segundos.
01:40At first, I was extremely trepidatious about the idea of doing a movie where I'm playing a character that has
01:48my name and I'm, in effect, playing some version of myself.
01:52I didn't want it to be something that was like an SNL sketch.
01:59And he's, uh, he's got some ideas about me and, um, you know, some of them are hilarious and my
02:09job as a film performer is to facilitate the director's vision, but many of them are not me.
02:17They're not who I really am and I'm playing a character named Nick Cage and I'm like, well, Tom, you
02:21know, it's not all like that.
02:23It's, I'm not, you know, he's got F-bomb here, F-bomb there, and I don't swear all the time.
02:27What is this?
02:28Where's this coming from?
02:29And he said, well, neurotic Nick Cage is the best Nick Cage.
02:34And then the other idea that I don't, you know, spend time with my family or not enough time, that
02:40is a complete invention.
02:42I mean, that is not me.
02:43There's no version of the universe where Nicolas Cage doesn't spend time with his children.
02:48But because the film is about an actor who is overly obsessed with his career and trying to get his
02:55career back on track, he's not spending the quality time with his daughter that he ought to.
03:02Um, and so his argument, which was a good one, was that the character needs to evolve.
03:07He needs to improve and become a better man and get to a place where he can spend time or
03:14choose time with his daughter as a, with Lily Sheen's character, as opposed to, you know, sell yourself, movie, movie,
03:21movie.
03:22That's a pretty big difference between the real me and the me in the movie.
03:26But I was facilitating his vision.
03:30Coming!
03:30Grab my hand.
03:32You're heavier than you look.
03:34I have a very big head.
03:40You go!
03:41I'll never forget you, refs.
03:47Mr. Cage?
03:48It turns out we could have just walked around.
03:50Wow, you got some.
