AceShowbiz - Nicolas Cage is reportedly launching his own alcohol brand. The veteran actor has trademarked Nick Cage for a new bourbon and he's currently focused on launching his own booze brand.

A source told [u=https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/21727718/nicolas-cage-shock-career-away-from-acting/The Sun newspaper's Bizarre[u] column, "It's become the 'in thing' in Hollywood to have your own brand of drink. It can be extremely lucrative. Nic is a whisky and bourbon man and is branching out into that. He has great taste so this will be good stuff."

In recent years, a host of big-name stars have launched their own drinks brands, including the likes of Jay-Z and Kendall Jenner, and Nicolas is now hoping to achieve similar success with his passion project. Last year, meanwhile, Nicolas revealed that he loves Cornish pasties.

The 59-year-old actor developed his love for the British baked pastry as a child, and he even enjoyed eating them while living in Santa Monica. He shared, "I love Cornish pasties. I used to have Cornish pasties believe it or not in Santa Monica, California. There was a place called the Ye Olde King's Head pub, I used to go there as a child and have them. They are so delicious and they were the perfect thing to put in your lunch pail to go to school with - I enjoyed them so much."

The Hollywood star also loves spending time in the scenic English county of Somerset. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has stopped him from spending much time there in recent years. He said, "I have a modest little cottage in Somerset I have been dreaming to get back to but with everything we have been contending with it has been so difficult. I am looking forward to getting back to your side of the world. Such nice people in Somerset."
