From the This Isn’t Real Department
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage’s wife of 14 months gave birth on Monday to the couple’s first child together, a son they named Kal-el — a moniker recognized by comic book fans as the birth name of Superman.
The child’s delivery in New York City and his full name, Kal-el Coppola Cage, were confirmed by the actor’s publicist, Annett Wolf, who said of the family, “They are healthy and happy and it’s quite lovely.”
Cage is known as an avid comic book devotee who once sold his personal collection, including a copy of Superman’s 1938 pulp debut, at auction for more than $1.6 million.
The nephew of famed filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, the actor adopted his own stage surname from the Marvel Comics superhero Luke Cage.
