Nicolas Cage, the Hollywood actor, has revealed an unusual diet in which he eats meat only from animals that mate in a “dignified” way.

The 46-year-old, whose most recent role is a drug-addled policeman in Bad Lieutenant, said he doesn’t eat because he does not like the way they have sex.

A report in The Sun said Cage, who won an Oscar for Leaving Las Vegas, ate fish and fowl.

He told the newspaper: "I love all animals. I have a fascination with fish, birds, whales - sentient life - insects, reptiles.

"I actually choose the way I eat according to the way animals have sex. I think fish are very dignified with sex. So are birds.

"But pigs, not so much. So I don't eat pig meat or things like that. I eat fish and fowl."

Cage, who lives in New Orleans, where Bad Lieutenant is set, has a reputation for eccentric behaviour and once owned a pet octopus.

There's no good reason for me posting this. Really, there isn't. But I did it anyway.

[Sacajaweau]

Pet octopus...as in Letgo my leggo...

[Drango]

w..wh...what...WHAT?

[Dog]

You posted it because you are responsible.

[Brett66]

Ok, he's officially a weirdo now in my book.

[DallasDeb]

He’s getting more and more weird the older he gets.

[Dr. Ursus]

Yes,gives me a chance for: Mr.Fields,why don’t you drink water? Fields,because fish F*** in it!

I think that if I were a celebrity, I would invent an odd personal philosophy every six months, which I could talk about in interviews. Mind you, I wouldn't believe it or act on it. I would pay no attention to my "personal philosophy" at all. But I'd have something to talk about that might get me some sensational press every six months or so.

On the other hand, maybe he's serious.

How does one determine, in a different species, what constitutes “dignified” sex??

[RockinRight]

He used to be relatively normal...

The movie “Bad Lieutenant” was made by giving him a badge and a gun, then simply filming the result. I think it was the real him.

Saw pigeons mate a few weeks ago. The female lay there as if dead and the male sat over her doing his thing and squawking, until she had enough and tried flying off. Dignified....

This freak lost a mansion he couldn’t afford... no one bid on it... its decor was described as “frathouse bordello”.

a very strange duck, indeed

"I actually choose the way I eat according to the way animals have sex. I think fish are very dignified with sex. So are birds. "But pigs, not so much. So I don't eat pig meat or things like that. I eat fish and fowl."

Muslims hold pretty much this same view (at least on Ask The Imam).

The "expert" said that eating pig made you have the morals of a pig. "You are what you eat."

Islam is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder writ large.

Who doesn't?

The female lay there as if dead and the male sat over her doing his thing and squawking, until she had enough and tried flying off. Dignified....

One wonders if Mr. Cage's sex life is dignified in much the same way....

[albie]

Did he first observe how all of these animals have sex? I’ll bet anything that HIS sex life hasn’t been very “dignified” every now and then!

[Louis Foxwell]

Dignity among fish? Most male fish kill their competitors. Birds, on the other hand, are flighty.

[Deaf Smith]

I guess that he won’t be eating Praying mantis either.

Considering he and Michael Jackson have one thing in common, marriage to Lisa Marie Presley.
