Early Life and Family
Weston Coppola Cage was born on December 26, 1990, in Los Angeles, California, to Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage and actress and model Christina Fulton. Despite his parents never marrying, Nicolas actively participated in his son's upbringing, often taking him on set.
Growing up, Weston experimented with fashion and music, while also pursuing martial arts. He began training in these at the age of 4 and mastered various disciplines such as jiu-jitsu, judo, taekwondo, Muay Thai, and combat sambo.
Music Career
At a young age, Weston developed a passion for rock music. He formed his own heavy metal band, Eyes of Noctum, which garnered attention from Swedish metal producer Fredrik Nordström. They released an album in 2009, "Inceptum," before disbanding in 2012.
Weston then founded another band, Arsh Anubis, with whom he released "Netherworld Oracles" in 2015. In both groups, he performed as the vocalist under the stage name Arcane.
He also pursued solo projects under the name Wes Cage, releasing an album titled "Prehistoric Technology" and singles including the 2023 hit "The Wolf." Additionally, Weston composed music for films, most notably "Drive Angry," "Joe," and "Vengeance: A Love Story."
Film Career
Weston's first significant film role was as Vladimir in Andrew Niccol's 2005 movie, "Lord of War," starring his father. The film follows a Ukrainian-born immigrant who transitions from the restaurant business to the lucrative arms trade.
In 2014, he appeared alongside his father in "Rage" and had a small role in the TV series "NCIS: Los Angeles" in 2018. He also starred in the crime thriller "211" with Nicolas Cage in the leading role.
Weston's breakthrough came in 2019 with "D-Day," a World War II film in which he portrayed Lieutenant Colonel James Earl Rudder, a renowned American general. He expressed pride in the role, emphasizing the importance of honoring those who fought for the greater good.
He went on to star in the horror film "Gone" (2019) and the crime thriller "Chasing the Diamond" (2023), further demonstrating his versatile acting range.
Controversies
Weston's personal life has been marked by several incidents. In 2011, he was involved in a bar fight while intoxicated, resulting in injuries that required hospitalization. In 2015, he spoke openly about his struggles with drug addiction, claiming to have overcome them.
However, in 2017, he was arrested for DUI and hit-and-run in Los Angeles. In April 2024, he was reported to have been in a psychotic state and assaulted his mother. He was arrested in July and released on $150,000 bail.
Christina Fulton claimed that Weston's mental health had been deteriorating and that she was attacked after seeking help. She also criticized the police for refusing her request to have him evaluated.
Personal Life and Legal Issues
Weston's romantic life has been tumultuous. He was briefly married to Nikki Williams in 2011. In 2013, he married Daniella Cage, with whom he had two sons, Lucian (2014) and Sorin (2016). They divorced shortly after Sorin's birth.
In 2018, Weston married Hila Cage and welcomed twin daughters, Cyress and Venice, in 2020. The couple effectively separated in 2021 and finalized their divorce in June 2024. They had a custody dispute over their daughters, which the court ruled in Hila's favor.
In 2023, Weston and his mother sued Hila, accusing her of defamation and embezzling $100,000 from them.
