Nicolas Cage said he was a straight-A student until he lived with his famous uncle.
Cage told the New York Times in the early '90s he was a straight-A student until he moved in with his uncle Francis Coppola for a year after his parents divorced and he went to a small country school.
"I went suddenly from being the cool guy to the geek. My grades went from straight A's to straight F's," he said. "I was in this wonderful house with wonderfully generous people, but it wasn't my stuff, it wasn't my house. I didn't know why I was there. I was frustrated beyond belief."
