Nicolas Cage stopped by The Today Show after a pause of several years to talk about his brand new movie, the animated family story “The Croods.” Below is a video.

Cage tells Savannah Guthrie that he’s totally the opposite of the character he plays, and jokes about making so many movies in his career (over 70) despite being still very young.

He also tries to make a point that, when it comes to his life at home, he’s just a regular guy living in Las Vegas.

“I think the paparazzi might have chased me out of Los Angeles,” he says.

“I have a simple life and I'm a lot lighter because of it. I get up in the morning, I drive my kid to school, I go home, I work out, I take my wife to lunch, I pick my kid up from school and that's it, I'm ready for the next movie,” Cage continues.
