National Treasue: Nicolas Cage Takes on New Role as Grandpa, as Son Weston Welcomes Baby Boy

Nicolas Cage has taken on many roles in his long, long career, but it seems he is now ready to take on his most important yet, as a grandfather.


The 50-year-old actor's son Weston, 23, and his wife Danielle welcomed a baby boy into the world on Tuesday, and have named him Lucian Augustus Coppola Cage.

A representative for the couple told Us Weekly, "Lucian Augustus Coppola Cage was born on July 1, 2014 at 3:14 p.m."

Weston said previously, "My dad is ecstatic. He was elated immediately when he met Danielle."

The couple also picked out the tiny tot's name prior to his birth, and explained in February where they had got the idea for the cute moniker from.

Danielle said, "Lucian is of Romanian descent, which is what I am and Augustus is taken from Weston's grandfather."

Weston added, "His name is August. We honor him very much. He was of extreme brilliance. He was a genius."

New grandpa Nicolas is also dad to an eight-year-old son Kal-El with his current wife Alice Kim.
