Yes, we fans support him and wish him well .  and about this article link, they dont give details, so how strange.  i mean did they interview these friends since no names are mentioned? I want for Nicolas to be healthy and Happy and acting in great films just like all of his fans want for him, but the article makes it look  like its" his" drinking that is the whole issue. I mean, does he drink alone? it doesnt seem so if he goes out with people and then drinks while out, as in many articles online have said, so maybe there are friends or other people drinking too, maybe its not just him.  Either way, we are fans of the actor, we really do not know what his private personal life is like, and we just go by what we read online, but as a fan, I do wish Health, Happiness, and a Nice life for Nicolas Cage and I hope that he can have that and work out whatever are his problems in his life .  And again I do want to say that I love his films and will always go to see his films when they come to the movies, he is an awesome actor, always will be!  and somehow from everything that i have ever read about him, i believe that he is a kind human being also.  so I hope that things are better soon for him and that his life can become problem/or stress free for him.
