Nicolas Cage’s first memory has Stephen Colbert intrigued, despite sounding unbelievable.

Nicolas Cage’s Earliest Memory

Actor Nicolas Cage recently appeared on “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert to promote his new vampire-themed horror comedy “Renfield.” During the show, Cage participated in the “Colbert Questionert” and answered a series of random questions from the host.

Colbert Asks About Cage’s Earliest Memory

Things got interesting when Colbert asked Cage to recall his earliest memory. Cage suggested that he might remember something that happened before he was even born. “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 replied. “I know that sounds powerfully abstract, but that somehow seems like it maybe happened.”

Colbert followed up by asking Cage whether he thought he had seen faces because there may have been “other people in there” at the time or whether he believed that he had been able to imagine or “conjure” faces even before he was born. Cage replied, “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 … I don’t even know if I remember being in utero, but that thought has crossed my mind.”

Cage’s Favorite Movies

Cage also answered other questions presented by the host, including his top five favorite movies that he had starred in: “Pig,” “Mandy,” “Bringing Out the Dead,” “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans,” and “Joe.” Colbert joked that he preferred “Face/Off,” but Cage explained that he enjoyed exploring his more abstract dreams with film performance in “Vampire’s Kiss.”
