Hollywood legend and former Somerset resident Nicholas Cage loves a chippy pickled egg – the Face/Off star has been known to order up to six of the tart snacks at one time
Hollywood star Nicolas Cage has revealed that he loves tucking into pickled eggs. The 61-year-old, who won as Oscar for 1995 movie Leaving Las Vegas, said he couldn’t resist the tangy eggs when ordering a chippie in Britain.
The Longlegs actor – who is starring in movie The Surfer in cinemas now – said he liked to ‘keep it simple’ when having fish and chips. He said his ‘go to chippy order’ was ‘traditional fish and chips’, but that he usually ordered a pickled egg as well.
He said: “I just like traditional fish and chips. Maybe a pickled egg, keep it simple.
“Whatever is the most traditional fish and chips I can get is what I’m going to go with.”
The actor, the nephew of film director Francis Ford Coppola, has previously been known to order up to six pickled eggs, six giant pickled onions and ‘a few’ gherkins while ordering a chippie.
While living in Somerset – where he lived for around 15 years – he popped to Knights Fish Restaurant for a chippy tea.
Head fryer George Morey, speaking previously, said: “He ordered six pickled eggs and six pickled onions and a few gherkins as well.
“So he’s a big fan of his pickles obviously.”
Fish and chips is considered the national dish of the UK, with more than 10,000 chippies in the country.
Speaking about his love of the UK previously, the actor said: “I am a self-confessed Anglophile.
“I love everything about England; the history, the people, the countryside, the culture -you name it, I love it.”
This revelation follows Cage’s plea about AI. The Face/Off star took to the stage at the Saturn Awards in Universal City, California to accept the best actor in a film prize for his role in Dream Scenario, where he begged fellow actors not to let AI “manipulate” their performances.
