Witnesses told local media that he had been drinking expensive whiskey and shots of tequila before becoming aggressive. 

“We were at that bar at Lawry’s when we noticed what we at first thought was a homeless man completely drunk and being rowdy. To our shock it turned to be Nicolas Cage. He was completely smashed and was getting into a bit of a fight with the staff. He was in a really bad state and was walking around shoeless. Staff told us he had been downing shots of tequila and 1980 Macallan whiskey,” one of the witnesses told The Sun. 

“He was shouting at people and trying to get into fights and then staff asked him to leave. He was so drunk he could barely get his flip-flops on before being escorted out. He asked us if we wanted to come back to his place but he was in a bad way so we didn’t think it was a good idea. One of the regulars ended up taking him home,” the witness added.
