Nicolas Cage admitted Sarah Jessica Parker ghosted him
In an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Parker told Andy Cohen that she dated Cage. While she remained tight-lipped on the relationship, Cage opened up about it. He said that after he met Parker’s mother, she cut him out of her life.
“I cared about Sarah, but I don’t think I passed the Mom test,” he told E! News. “I recall sitting down with her and her mother for dinner at the Russian Tea Room, and I don’t know if it was my blue Vanson Leather motorcycle jacket (which I still have) or my sinusitis, but I didn’t hear from her again.”
Sarah Jessica Parker spoke about how it felt to be the object of Nicolas Cage’s affection in the movie
Honeymoon in Vegas marked a significant transition in Parker’s career. She said it was the first time she stepped into a leading role like this.
“It was definitely the first time I got to play the part, the object of a man’s affection versus the best friend of the object,” she told the A.V. Club. “Or of anybody’s affection.”
She also didn’t have to audition for the movie. It was the first time a director had just offered her the role.
“I didn’t even audition for Honeymoon In Vegas. Andy Bergman said — he saw L.A. Story and just offered me the part,” she said. “It was enormously influential and impactful and meaningful for me. I had always happily assumed I would just, you know, be a journeyman. And I was perfectly satisfied — I had no complaints about the quality of my career. I mean, you always want to work more, and you want to have jobs that are exciting and different and parts that are interesting, but I didn’t feel I was in a position to complain. I was pretty pleased. So, when it changed, it was nothing I had expected, and it was wonderful.”
She even got the chance to audition Cage for his part.
“Especially because then I auditioned the guys for Honeymoon,” she said. “They all came in, and I read with all of them, and it was nice to be in that position. I had never been there before.”
They’ve both moved on to other relationships
After the relationship between Parker and Cage ended, they both moved on with other partners. Parker began a relationship with Matthew Broderick in 1991, likely shortly after her relationship with Cage ended. They married in 1997, and they have three children together.
Cage began dating Kristen Zang in 1992. In the years since their split, he married five different women. Cage and Patricia Arquette married in 1995. He then married Lisa Marie Presley, Alice Kim, and Erika Koike. He is currently married to Riko Shibata.
