Nicolas Cage Says He Is Living in Hotels After 25-Foot Malibu Sinkhole Evacuation

3 articles · Updated · Variety · Nov 3

Summary

  • Nicolas Cage told a Los Angeles Comic Con panel he is "currently a little bit homeless" and staying in hotels after evacuating his Malibu home.
  • A 25-foot-deep sinkhole measuring about 30 by 60 feet opened near his driveway on Sept. 8, forcing 31 nearby homes — including Cage's mansion — to evacuate.
  • Officials have not determined the exact cause, but the crater was likely linked to Hurricane Marie, which brought heavy surf and flooding to Southern California in early September.
  • Cage said he is still making Halloween plans away from home, taking his daughter trick-or-treating in Santa Monica while waiting out the disruption.
