Nicolas Cage has opened up about his unborn baby.
In a recent interview with GQ, the 58-year-old actor chatted about becoming a dad for the third time - and even revealed what names he and his wife are considering.
Cage already has two sons - 31-year-old Weston Cage and 16-year-old Kal-El Cage - both from previous relationships. But he's soon to do it all over again now that his fifth wife, 27-year-old Riko Shibata, is expecting her first child.
The National Treasure star - whose real name is Nicholas Coppola - told GQ that he's thrilled to be welcoming another baby. He excitedly described the ultrasound, saying: "It's like a little edamame. A little bean."
As for what his son or daughter will be called, Cage has drawn inspiration from his family tree, coming up with two names that pay homage to his late father August Coppola, and his uncle, legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola. He and his wife have settled on Akira Francesco for a boy and Lennon Augie for a girl.
"Augie was my father's nickname," Cage explained, adding: "And my uncle has decided to change his name to Francesco."

Later in the interview, the Ghost Rider star spoke about his marriage to Shibata. The pair tied the knot in February 2021, barely a year after they first met in Shiga, Japan.
"I am a romantic, and when I'm in love, I want to give that person everything I can. It's my expression of saying, 'I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.' And this is it for me," he said.
The actor added that - despite only being with Shibata for a few years - he was not expecting to ever remarry. "I mean, this is not happening again. This is it. This is it," he said.
Cage is no stranger to whirlwind romances. Before settling down with fellow actor Shibata, he had been married four times.
He divorced his first wife, Oscar winner Patricia Arquette, in 2001 after six years together.
Then in 2002, he tied the knot with Elvis Presley's daughter, the singer-songwriter Lisa Marie Presley. But their relationship didn't last, and the pair filed for divorce just 107 days later.
Cage split from his third wife Alice Kim - with whom he shares son Kal-El - in 2016.
But it was his fourth marriage to Erika Koike in 2019 that made headlines when it lasted just four days.
