Even though the National Treasure star was allegedly acting belligerent, he didn’t want to end the party. “He asked us if we wanted to come back to his place but he was in a bad way so we didn't think it was a good idea,” the onlooker stated. “One of the regulars ended up taking him home.”
It’s been a solemn year for the actor, his mother, Joy Vogelsang, died in May at the age of 85.
Cage’s brother, Christopher Coppola, announced the sad news on his Facebook page at the time. “I was with her all day but left for a couple hours and missed her passing by a couple hours so wasn't able to hold her hand to give her my love and affection before her journey to peace land,” he wrote.
