Nicolas Cageโs first memory is being inside his motherโs womb.
The 59-year-old actor has claimed that he can recall seeing โfaces in the darkโ while he was still in his momโs womb.
Asked about his earliest childhood memory on โThe Late Show With Stephen Colbertโ, the Hollywood star explained: โLet me think. Listen, I know this sounds really far out and I donโt know if itโs real or not, but sometimes I think I can go all the way back to in-utero and feeling like I could see faces in the dark or something.
โI know that sounds powerfully abstract, but that somehow seems like maybe it happened.โ
On the other hand, Nicolas conceded that his supposed memories may have just been triggered by โvocal vibrationsโ.
The actor said: โNow that I am no longer in utero, I would have to imagine it was perhaps vocal vibrations resonating through to me at that stage. Thatโs going way back. I donโt know. That comes to mind โฆ I donโt even know if I remember being in utero, but that thought has crossed my mind.โ
Nicolas was also asked whether he believes in life after death.
The movie star โ who has won a host of accolades during his career, including an Academy Award and a Golden Globe โ suggested that his โsparkโ will continue even after he passes away.
He said: โOh, wow. Nobody really knows, I donโt know.
โThey say that electricity is forever eternal. That the spark keeps going. I like to think whatever spark is animating our bodies, once the body passes on, that the spark continues to go.
โBut whether or not that electricity has consciousness or not, who can really say?โ
