Nicolas Cage claims his first ever memory is of being inside his mother’s womb, and seeing “faces in the dark”.
The Hollywood icon recalled the rather spooky moment during an interview with Stephen Colbert on The Late Show, when he was asked about his earliest childhood memory.
Nicolas revealed: “Let me think. Listen, I know this sounds really far out and I don’t know if it’s real or not, but sometimes I think I can go all the way back to in-utero and feeling like I could see faces in the dark or something.

But the star confessed it could simply have been caused by “vocal vibrations” rather than genuine faces hovering in the womb.
He explained: “Now that I am no longer in utero, I would have to imagine it was perhaps vocal vibrations resonating through to me at that stage. That’s going way back. I don’t know.
“That comes to mind… I don’t even know if I remember being in utero, but that thought has crossed my mind.”

And does this mean Nicolas believes in life after death?
The Oscar winner confessed: “Oh, wow. Nobody really knows, I don’t know.
“They say that electricity is forever eternal. That the spark keeps going. I like to think whatever spark is animating our bodies, once the body passes on, that the spark continues to go.”
He added: “But whether or not that electricity has consciousness or not, who can really say?”
