Cage was slated to play Superman in a film written by Kevin Smith and directed by Tim Burton. It was killed just weeks shy of production. Google Cage Superman and you can see him in the suit. It's almost like looking into a parallel universe where he played the part.
Nic Cage gets even weirder. His real last name is Coppola – he's Francis' nephew or something – but he didn't want to rely on his famous name to make it as an actor. So he changed it to Cage, after Luke Cage, the Marvel superhero (lately of his own eponymous Netflix series).
I kind of feel like these should be pairs where the children have garnered fame of their own accord. Some of these "famous" children have done nothing but be born.
I see Beekash's point. Unless the children made a name for themselves, the only reason most of them are on the list is because their parents gave them unusual names...which may answer the question of why their parents gave them unusual names. If Nicholas Cage had named his son Nick Jr. he probably wouldn't be on this list. Publicity is always good in the acting profession.
I think that's a special case because his *name* itself is famous. I have been asked by several different people "Did you know Nicolas Cage named his son Kal-El?!?!?!?" If it were Jim Cage or something, I'd agree with you.
I had no idea Wayne Gretzky's daughter was any kind of famous. I'm a huge fan of his too. Interesting. She's the only one I missed. Had no idea Dakota Johnson and Don Johnson were related, but I recognized they share a last name and took a good guess.
I think for the same reason that you see Ferraris with hot pink or neon orange interiors, because, f' it... I'm already rich so I'm gonna do what I feel like.
Haha, it looks like he was photoshopped into the suit, like the Cage of Thrones project.
