Nicolas Cage Says He Is 'a Little Bit Homeless' Due to Malibu Sinkhole
Academy Award-winning actor Nicolas Cage has humorously described himself as ‘a little bit homeless’ after a massive geological event wreaked havoc on his multi-million-dollar coastal property in Malibu. A sudden and severe sinkhole measuring approximately 30 feet deep formed near his estate, causing extensive structural damage to the luxury residence.
Reports from local real estate and media outlets indicate that the $10.5 million mansion sustained critical foundation issues, rendering the home temporarily uninhabitable. Engineers and structural specialists were called to the scene to assess the safety risks posed by the shifting earth along the Malibu coastline, a region historically prone to geological instability.
Despite the stressful ordeal, Cage appeared to maintain a lighthearted attitude during interviews, acknowledging the bizarre nature of losing access to his home due to a natural sinkhole. Real estate experts note that repairing or stabilizing properties affected by such large-scale erosion can be an arduous and expensive undertaking.
Fans and colleagues have expressed sympathy for the actor’s sudden housing predicament, while local authorities continue to monitor the affected area to ensure public safety and prevent further property damage.
