Hot Gallery: Surprise Celebrity Connections!
Doesn’t it sometimes seem like celebrities all know each other? Well, that’s probably because most of them do. Off the top of your head, you can probably name any number of famous Hollywood families—the Gyllenhaals, Baldwins, Arquettes, Robertses—but the connections aren’t always so obvious. Can you guess, for example, who Mirror Mirror star Lily Collins’ famous parent is? By Nina Hämmerling SmithNicolas Cage—born Nicolas Coppola—chose to change his last name to avoid the appearance of cashing in on his famous family. Cage won an Oscar for his harrowing performance in Leaving Las Vegas (clip is NSFW), and has starred in movies including Con Air, City of Angels, and Lord of War. His comic book movie Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance was released in 2011. He’s also been in the action adventure Stolen, as well as a reunion with his Adaptation collaborator Charlie Kaufman for the comedy Frank or Francis.
Cage and Schwartzman are cousins—and both Coppolas, though neither bears the name. Schwartzman has starred in indie favorites like Rushmore, I Heart Huckabees, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Marie Antoinette (directed by another cousin, Sofia Coppola). He most starred in the HBO series Bored to Death, for which he also composed and sang the theme song. Schwartzman’s mother, Talia Shire (Rocky, The Godfather), is Francis Ford Coppola’s sister, and Cage’s father, August Coppola, was his brother. On NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, Schwartzman recalls going to his uncle’s house for movie screenings, including Vampire’s Kiss—starring his cousin Nicolas. “That was a big thing for me. I loved his performance,” he says in the interview. “Once we got the film on VHS, I would watch it over and over again…. I would rewind certain scenes and I would play them, pause them, and then try to mimic him…. I was like, wow, who is this person that I’m supposedly related to? He was very scary.”
