Nicolas Cage reveals wild first memory — in his mother’s womb

“The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on Monday night. “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,” Cage told the late-night host of his earliest memory. “I know that sounds powerfully abstract, but that somehow seems like maybe it happened.” Colbert followed up on the wild statement by asking Cage whether the faces were actually in utero with him or if he believes they were something that his prenatal brain conjured up. “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,” Cage rationalized. “I don’t even know if I remember being in utero, but that thought has crossed my mind.” The “National Treasure” actor is known for playing up his eccentricities and openly talking about his interesting theories and life experiences.

Cage has previously spoken about how he was convinced he was an alien as a child. “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,” he told Rampstyle magazine.

Cage also opened up about his childhood and his struggle to connect with others as a socially awkward kid.“My father told me he felt like he had to introduce himself to me because I was such an alien,” he admitted.
