My brother & i went to school with Wes Cage - Nicolas Cage's kid.

He would attend class with 1-2 body guards who looking back I think did double duty as sober companions.

He ran circles around them and my brother became really good friends with him. Some of my favorite stories are as follows:

1. Wes & my brother were at Wes's home and Nicolas Cage ended up daring Wes and my brother to drink spoiled milk with him. So, I can safely say my brother drank spoiled milk with Wes Cage and Nicolas Cage.
2. They snuck away from the bodyguards and went to hide out in the mini movie theater in the house. That's where Wes's dad kept this very expensive and old whiskey that he'd only open for Christmas. So what did the kids do? BUST OPEN THE LIQUOR CABINET AND DRANK IT ALL. I remember my brother coming home drunk as a skunk that day. At age 16.
3. Then god - do I wish I had this tape - but my brother, Wes, & some other kid made a video reenacting Romeo & Juliet. They were kissing each other, making horrible jokes, and so forth and as if that wasn't bad enough the camera panned to Wes's mom who was dressed in what could only be described as bondage attire. The teacher quickly had turned it off in class because it was so inappropriate.

I wish I knew how Wes was doing now. He was in my drama class and really good at acting but seemed to hate it. My brother ended up dead at age 20 and last I heard he had lost contact with Wes shortly after high school .
