He was just fascinated by the whole scene of walking into Nicolas Cage's mansion and just seeing what he described as an adult kids playground with all these you know, dinosaur fossils around an a vintage car in the middle of the living room.

0:40Speaker 1:I'm your host Danish Sports. Last year we brought you Haleywood, the story of Bruce Willis buying up a town in Idaho and the friends and enemies he made along the way.
