Nicolas Cage said he is “a little bit homeless” thanks to a sinkhole that has consumed a part of his Southern California home. Talking about his Halloween plans at a Los Angeles Comic Con panel over the weekend, Cage said he is “currently a little bit homeless.” “Something happened in my house in Malibu. So, I’m just sort of living in hotels, so I don’t have the normal trick-or-treaters I would like to enjoy tonight,” he said, according to a fan video of the panel. A huge sinkhole formed in the driveway of Cage’s home on the Southern California coast in September. At the time, authorities were investigating what caused the sinkhole to open up. City officials said the sinkhole also caused a gas leak, but no one was hurt. Video shows a massive crater in the driveway that appeared to swallow up everything sitting on top.
