Nicolas Cage's best movies have allowed him to work alongside some of the greatest actors in the business. Sean Penn. Meryl Streep. Willem Dafoe. Holly Hunter. John Malkovich. Nicole Kidman. Ed Harris. Tilda Swinton. He even worked alongside Cher as she was delivering her Oscar-winning turn in 1987’s Moonstruck. The man has collaborated with generational performers… but if you were to ask him, none of them earn the title of “best actor he’s ever worked with.” Instead, that title instead apparently belongs to up-and-comer Isla Johnston.
Cage just recently had the opportunity to work with the English actress in the making of the new Jesus-centric horror movie The Carpenter’s Son, and he heaped praise upon his co-star in an interview with EW. And just in case you perhaps think that he momentarily forgot that he has worked with some of the most talented actors alive, he name-dropped his Adaptation co-star in his statement.
