In a Nutshell:

• Nicolas Cage claimed on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” that his earliest memory dates back to before he was born, recalling seeing faces in the dark while in utero.
• Cage, known for his eccentricities, also revealed he was convinced he was an alien as a child, struggling to connect with others and finding inspiration in David Bowie’s acting.
• The Oscar-winning actor continues to intrigue and surprise fans with his astonishing tales, showcasing his unique and enigmatic persona.

Nicolas Cage has never been one to shy away from the bizarre, and his latest revelation on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” adds yet another mind-bending chapter to his legendary eccentricities.

In a jaw-dropping admission, the 59-year-old actor claimed his first memory dates back to before he was even born, with recollections of his time in utero.

Cage told Colbert, “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.”

For the star of “National Treasure,” it seems decoding memories might be more challenging than cracking historical secrets.

Colbert, ever the curious late-night host, probed Cage about whether the faces he saw were actually in the womb with him or merely figments of his prenatal imagination.

Cage responded, “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.”

It seems this “Womb Raider” may have unlocked a whole new dimension of memory exploration.

The Oscar-winning actor is no stranger to wild theories and life experiences, having previously confessed to Rampstyle magazine that he was convinced he was an alien as a child.

He said, “I was shocked the day I went to the doctor’s office as a child and I found out that I had normal organs and a normal skeleton because I was certain I was from another planet.”

Well, if you’re going to be an alien, you might as well be a Hollywood A-lister.

Cage also opened up about his childhood struggles with connecting to others, admitting his father felt like he had to introduce himself to him because Cage was “such an alien.”

The socially awkward youngster found solace and inspiration in David Bowie’s performance in “The Man Who Fell to Earth,” ultimately deciding to become an actor.

From surreal memories of the womb to otherworldly childhood beliefs, Nicolas Cage continues to prove that he’s a true enigma wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in a stylish leather jacket.

One thing’s for sure: as Cage’s life story continues to unfold, we can expect more astonishing tales from this remarkable, one-of-a-kind actor.
