Nicolas Cage’s son Weston Coppola Cage is speaking out one year after he allegedly attacked his mom, Christina Fulton.
Weston, 34, gave an update on how he’s doing after he made headlines for the alleged incident with Fulton, 58, in an interview with The Daily Mail at the Future of Film Association’s OPTIX Film Series in Las Vegas on Friday, August 15.
“You know, it’s strengthened me. I can only give radical forgiveness,” he told the outlet. “I’ve definitely been a target for a lot of misconception my whole life, but I know that only happens to people that are intimidated by the calling of [it].”
Weston said that he’s experienced “a lot of spiritual awakenings” in recent months.
“It’s been absolutely wonderful. Definitely some true alignment had to happen for me,” he said. “I just found that I was surrounded with a lot of people in my life that need to be eliminated. And once that happens, it’s better than eliminating other things like bad habits, but it allows the universe to pour everything you’re meant for into it.”
Weston also teased that he has a documentary in the works, tentatively titled “The Beast of God,” which will “tell my childhood story and it’ll keep Xanax in business for sure for the people that watch it.”
“I’m going to do a combination of biopic reenactments and then also just some one on one interviews with me and kind of how I’ve always stayed up on the spiritual path and that’s the only thing that’s really ever worked for me,” he added.
In July 2024, Weston was arrested for felony assault following an alleged incident involving his mother the previous April. He pleaded not guilty to two counts of assault with a deadly weapon.
Fulton exclusively told Us Weekly at the time that she had received “urgent messages” from friends of Weston’s about his “deteriorating mental state.” When she arrived at his apartment to help Weston, he was allegedly “in the midst of a manic rage.”
“I was brutally assaulted and sustained serious injuries,” she claimed. “As a mother, I am deeply saddened and concerned about Weston’s ongoing mental health crisis. It is imperative that he receives the help he desperately needs.”
In response to Fulton’s statement, Weston exclusively told Us, “There is no help I desperately need. There is a lot of inaccurate information printed.”
In April, a judge sentenced Weston to a mental health diversion program for two years.
“Take care of my son. Our son,” Fulton told TMZ in a message to Cage, 61, with whom she welcomed Weston in 1990.
Fulton did not appear to attend Weston’s wedding to Jenifer Alexa Canter in May. However, Cage was present at the nuptials.
“I am ineffably honored to announce that I am married to my twin flame, just as the creator intended all along. I love you @_babyjen_ more than any man has ever loved,” Weston wrote via Instagram alongside wedding photos. “What was meant to be shall forever be and I will always protect you and our incontrovertibly God-given marriage by any means necessary.”
He continued, “This is the greatest miracle of my existence as I see the reason I was born and divinity itself every time I look into your astronomically beautiful eyes. Our dreams are God’s dreams for the world. Your holy soul and being is the dynamic key in every nuance and detail that unlocked my heart for it was always yours. Reunited and divinely provided. We are free and now we can free the world together.”
