Last year, the public also learned that Nicolas Cage did not receive any compensation for acting in the movie Leaving Las Vegas ( 1995 ). This is the film that brought Cage the first and only golden Oscar in his acting career to date.

In an interview, the director of Leaving Las Vegas – Mr. Mike Figgis revealed that both he and the film’s male lead – Nicolas Cage, participated in making this film without receiving any compensation.

We did not receive a penny of compensation after participating in making that movie.”

However, both director Mike Figgis and actor Nicolas Cage did not want to make a big deal out of it: “After that movie, my directorial career took off.

Since then, I have received a much higher salary, so I don’t blame much. As for Nicolas Cage, when he stepped out of this film project, his salary immediately increased to 20 million USD per film, so it was okay for both of us.”
