Nicolas Cage was caught on camera "drunk and rowdy" as he was kicked out of a fancy Las Vegas establishment.
Cage was filmed being removed from Lawry's Prime Rib near the Las Vegas strip last week. He was evidently mistaken for a drunk homeless man.
Witnesses spoke to The Sun and said that staff reported Cage was drinking pricey whiskey and tequila, then became increasingly hostile.
Donned in leopard pants and flip-flops, the video shows Cage barefoot on a sofa while struggling to put his shoe back on. He then staggers and shouts.
A woman believed to be a staff member blocked him from reentering the building.
An anonymous witness to the incident spoke to The Sun.
"We were at that bar at Lawry's when we noticed what we at first thought was a homeless man completely drunk and being rowdy.
"To our shock it turned to be Nicolas Cage. He was completely smashed and was getting into a bit of a fight with the staff.
"He was in a really bad state and was walking around shoeless. Staff told us he had been downing shots of tequila and 1980 Macallan whiskey.
"He was shouting at people and trying to get into fights and then staff asked him to leave.
"He was so drunk he could barely get his flip flops on before being escorted out.
"He asked us if we wanted to come back to his place but he was in a bad way so we didn't think it was a good idea.
"One of the regulars ended up taking him home."
Responses on Twitter included, in my opinion, the smartest thing I've read all day:
"This doesn't feel right. We shouldn't be filming a man when he's in a bad place, physically/mentally/emotionally," wrote @eithne_s.
Brandon Darby echoed the sentiment, "Let’s take people’s worst moments and memorialize them. Real cool for someone to record that instead of offering to help him."
