The ‘National Treasure’ actor – who was forced to put several of his properties on the market to fund a bill for millions of pounds in unpaid tax – admits he was in shock about his huge debts and wanted to ignore them.
He said: "The first thing you think is, ‘This can’t be true. I want to crawl up and hide at the end of the world.’ " Cage says he trusted his former manager Samuel Levin with his money and took his advice when it came to properties. He revealed: "With hindsight an inexcusable naivety, because buying these properties ruined me financially."
However, Cage is determined to pay back all the money and has hired a new manager to help sort his finances. Cage – who has a four-year-old son Kal-El with third wife Alice Kim and a 19-year-old son Weston from a previous relationship – told Germany’s InTouch magazine: "I have a new manager now, so I’m halfway there. And I will pay off all those debts, to the last cent. "I have a responsibility for my sons and my wife. I have to get back on my feet."
The extent of the 46-year-old star’s debts were revealed last year, claiming he owed $6 million in back taxes from 2007. It was also revealed Cage – who owns a jet, two yachts, three castles, two islands in the Bahamas and a number of mansions – once spent $276,000 on a 67-million-year-old dinosaur skull.
