Nicolas Cage<\/a> used to get slapped by fans at the airport.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nicolas Cage has recalled the awkward exchanges with fans<\/p>\n

The 59-year-old actor has recalled the bizarre trend inspired by 1987 romantic comedy ‘Moonstruck’, which he starred in with ‘Believe’ hitmaker Cher<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, he said: “For the longest time, back from ‘Moonstruck’, I would walk to the airport and people just had a habit of saying, ‘Snap out of it!’ from Moonstruck – the Cher<\/a> ‘snap out of it’ [line] – and I did get slapped a few times.”<\/p>\n

He added: “Oh yeah, I did! And that, you know, it’s part of the job.”<\/p>\n

When it comes to why fans felt compelled to act in such a way, Nicolas joked they might have been aiming for a role.<\/p>\n

\nHe quipped: “I think maybe [they think] I’ll cast them in something. Who knows?”<\/p>\n

\nThe actor admitted he almost turned down the movie but agreed to take the role in a deal with his agent because he actually wanted to make 1989 horror comedy ‘Vampire’s Kiss’.<\/p>\n

\nHe previously told USA Today: “I made that movie on a deal with my then-agent Ed Limato. I was desperately trying to get him to say yes to me doing ‘Vampire’s Kiss’.<\/p>\n

\n“He said: ‘No, you’re not going to wear those stupid plastic things. I want you to look handsome! Do Moonstruck!’<\/p>\n

\n“And I said, ‘I don’t want to do Moonstruck!’ I wanted to be punk rock \u2013 I didn’t want to do a schmaltzy movie about opera. But I said, ‘If I do Moonstruck, will you let me do Vampire’s Kiss?’ And he said OK.<\/p>\n

\n“The truth is, I love ‘Moonstruck’. Now that I’m older, I see the value in [it]. I haven’t seen ‘Moonstruck’ in a million years, but I think it’s powerfully romantic and I love all the performances.”<\/p>\n

\nMeanwhile, his enduring memory of the movie was him and Cher being “freezing in Brooklyn in the winter at night”.<\/p>\n

\nHe added: “It was that whole big diatribe about, ‘The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. Not us! We are here to ruin ourselves.’<\/p>\n

\n“That was my favorite bit of writing by [screenwriter] John Patrick Shanley, this powerful soliloquy.<\/p>\n

\n“That being said, our mouths were frozen and it was so hard to move. It’s very hard to act when you’re freezing.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
