In what has to be the most bizarre celebrity diet justification I’ve ever heard, Nicolas Cage (allegedly) explained that he only eats animals that have “dignified” sex and not “dirty” sex. Doesn’t this gross you out? I’ve never really thought about animals having sex (except for that time near the monkey cage at the zoo) and something like this would never occur me. Is this what Cage does on his time off, look up videos on the Internet of his potential food copulating? This quote originated in British paper The Sun, and I hope these people were smoking something and made this whole thing up. It’s just too out there and doesn’t sound like the typical fabricated quote, though.
Nicolas Cage has reportedly revealed that he will eat only animals who mate in a dignified fashion, a dietary preference which apparently rules out pork. According to the Sun, the Oscar-winning actor is happy to eat fish or poultry because their love lives are more decorous.
“I have a fascination with fish, birds, whales – sentient life – insects, reptiles,” says Cage, who is currently getting great reviews for his performance as a drug-addled detective in Werner Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call – New Orleans, a quasi-remake of Abel Ferrara’s 1992 tale of a destructive cop.
He continues: “I actually choose the way I eat according to the way animals have sex. I think fish are very dignified with sex. So are birds.
“But pigs, not so much. So I don’t eat pig meat or things like that. I eat fish and fowl.”
Cage, whose glowing Bad Lieutenant notices follow praise for his role in Kick-Ass, is known for having an eccentric fascination with animals. He has a tattoo of a lizard wearing a top hat, has owned a pet octopus and once ate a cockroach for a movie role.
For Bad Lieutenant, which is out in the UK on Friday, he bought a snake with two heads to protect him during filming in New Orleans. The creature was later donated to a zoo.

That’s just so out there! Many people chose to stick to eating just fish and poultry and skip red meat and pork due to the health risks associated with eating it. I’ve never heard of anything like this. Maybe pigs and cows (I guess he’s talking about cows too) have “dirty” sex because they’re mammals. Yuck – I have thought about animal sex way too much today. It’s enough to take away my appetite completely, which could explain Cage’s reason for considering their sex lives. If you think about animals doing it, you just don’t want to eat at all.
Cage is a strange bird. If you have some time and and haven’t yet read the Daily Beast’s fascinating account about Cage’s insane lifestyle, I highly recommend you check it out. The piece ran late last year when the news came out that several of Cage’s properties were in foreclosure and that he owed $6.5 million in back taxes. He owned several castles, mansions, an island, exotic pets and more luxury cars than he could ever use. He took his buddies on exotic vacations and regularly held lavish parties described as “Gatsby style.” Now he’s downsizing his lifestyle and ruminating on the sex lives of his food. The guy is still making money hand over fist, though.

Cage and Megan (verbal diarrhea) Fox need to learn how to NOT say the first stupid thing that farts out of their mouths during interviews.

I think he’s wife is Korean, she probably serves him dog stew and tell him it’s chicken.

Denise, I thought the same thing!
Spoken like a man who has issues with his pig like impulses.
Stereotypically if a woman only allowed for “dignified sex” her man is the man running to porn sites or hookers to play like an undignified farm animal..

Nicolas Cage is a Scientologist too? I like his movies but I’ve always thought he is a bit weird.

Most of the time I don’t believe ridiculous stories like this, but when it comes to Cage…yeah, I believe it. He is one strange dude.
He’d better be paying his back taxes with those fat paychecks.

WTF? Isn’t the idea of dignified sex subjective anyway?
I only eat animals who copulate in the missionary position. HAHAHAHAHAHA!
He wouldn’t be able to eat dog. They do it doggy style.

He’s a horrible actor. Watched Kick Ass recently and that cute little girl could act circles around him.
I’ve found him disgusting ever since he started dating his current wife when she was 19? or 20? Anyways, I think it would be funny to see if he really lost his fortune if the wife he bought and paid for will stick around.

When reading Dave’s comment (which gave me a chuckle) and I recalled the scene from the movie Shirley Valentine where the wife feeds her husband dog food; I think he did not mean his comment to be racist. And after reading Stolen Innocence by Elissa Wall, this Miscavige guy reminds me of Warren Jeffs (before he was busted). He has the same countenance. Poor Katie and Alice.
