Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage expressed a strong attachment to Korea on Monday, calling the homeland of his wife a "part of my home" that has food he likes and values he admires. "I wasn't really able to enjoy vegetables until I discovered Korean vegetables. Kimchi is in my spirit and in my mind, it balances my soul," Cage, 40, said, referring to Korea's spicy pickled vegetables during a press conference in Seoul.
Super Action had a block of Nicholas Cage movies on last September, advertised as under the tagline "한국인이 사랑하는 액션 스타." I'm checking to see if GFN's Michael Simning, a "한국인이 사랑하는 비큰 어브 라이트," has been the recipient of such accolades. I'm also checking to see if he said that about kimchi.
Kimchi is in my fridge in my home. It balances on my block of cheese and a six pack of root beer.
ReplyDeleteI know waiters at Korean clubs in LA who had Nick as a customer and they said he sometimes talked like a ghettoized Korean American.
ReplyDeleteTypical dialouge with Nick:
"Yeah, I went to a kalbi-jip with my hyung the other day. The naengmyeon there was pretty good."
He always got a small table all by himself and always left a two grand tip.
