Did they only arrest him because he dared them to? The gossip world was buzzing about potential child abuse charges against Nicolas Cage after he fell holding 5-year-old son Kal-El during a drunken argument with his wife Alice Kim. But despite his taunting of the police and the revelation of earlier public tantrums during his time in the city (“Give me something more rrrreal!”), it doesn’t look like Nic is the new Charlie Sheen quite yet—authorities have dropped all charges.
“The New Orleans District Attorney has confirmed that no charges of any kind will be pursued against him. After their investigation, the DAs refused all charges against Nic and the matter has been closed,” said a rep for the actor. “We are pleased that the process led to the correct result, despite inaccurate media reports, and that Nick has been cleared and all charges have been dropped.” Wait, is this guy saying Nic didn’t shout “You love me!” after putting his fist through the glass in a restaurant door? When you give your son a Kryptonian name, you need to be specific about what instances of insanity we’re not supposed to believe.
