If you’ve ever confused musician Nick Cave with actor Nicolas Cage — or vice versa — you’re not alone.

In a recent interview with The Guardian, Cage said, “I don’t think a day goes by where I’m not mistaken for Nick Cave.”

Cave previously shared some of his own Cave/Cage mix-up stories in 2022 on his Red Hand Files blog, where he wrote, “People mix me up with Nicolas Cage all the time,” and went on to recall the first time they met:

“Suddenly, a security guy in a dark suit with an earpiece and shades steps out of nowhere and asks me if I’m Nick Cave. I say, ‘Well, yeah.’ He says, ‘Could you follow me, please. So I follow the security guy into a small private room, adjacent to the main bar. Sitting there is Nicolas Cage. He is wearing a pork-pie hat and holding a didgeridoo. Nicolas Cage shouts, ‘Only one letter separates us!’ and leaps from his seat and eagerly pumps my hand.”
