Yesterday morning, it was reported that Nicolas Cage‘s son Weston flipped out on his personal trainer at a Hollywood restaurant only to end up arrested and placed on 5150 psychiatric hold when he failed to land a roundhouse kick. What was not known at the time was just how epically Weston had his ass handed to him which fortunately someone managed to record because we live in a marvelous, technological time. TMZ reports:
The footage begins moments after 20-year-old Cage tried to deliver a roundhouse kick to his trainer after the trainer refused to allow Weston to order a certain item off the menu.
After a brief scuffle, the trainer takes Weston down to the ground … climbs on top of him … and rains down with a flurry of barely-contested punches to Weston’s face. At one point, Weston tries to punch back — but the trainer blasts him in the face — once again taking control of the situation.
The trainer kept Weston pinned down on the concrete until cops arrived.
After watching the footage, which I highly recommend if you’ve ever wanted to see an unholy Viking of the night get beat down in bright, sunny Los Angeles, I’m almost positive this 5150 business is a cover story for Weston Cage dying from taking 800 punches to the face. Because somehow, “My life coach kicked my ass for ordering the non-organic egg white flatbread,” doesn’t sound very metal. Call it a hunch.

why wasn’t the trainer arrested? oh and FIRth
mupp | June 9, 2011 at 9:35 am
Defending himself maybe?
He tries to subdue him afterwards even when the douche is trying to bite him (the trainer), he seems to be more intent on stopping him (the douche) then hurting him
Assault is not self-defence | June 9, 2011 at 10:30 pm
Self-defense is … or should I say, ought to be … only available as a legal defence when your response is proportional to the threat you’re facing.
i.e. if you’re a pretty tough guy and the only threat you’ve faced is a tool lamely trying to roundhouse you (but missing by a mile) then your response should be a) proportional, and b) only what is necessary to actually defend yourself from harm.
Self-defence shouldn’t cover people taking advantage of a non-threatening situation to beat the utter holy crap out of a person. But this is the good ol’ you ess of ay, where you’re allowed to shoot people dead because you saw them rob someone else’s house, so there’s fat chance of sensible self-defence laws being enacted.
Maloof | June 10, 2011 at 3:54 pm
This is the dumbest reply I’ve ever heard. Someone tries to smack you… you smack ‘em back. Period.
Rancid | June 9, 2011 at 8:18 am
Getting your ass kicked by your trainer is so FUCKING METAL!!! RRRRRAAAAAWK!!
Joe Mahma | June 11, 2011 at 8:26 pm
Assault is not self-defence is absolutely correct.
And, in some states, a kick is considered – assault with a deadly weapon.
Anonymous | June 9, 2011 at 8:46 am
He deserved the beatdown for being a poser. What a tool.
Metalman | June 11, 2011 at 4:20 pm
yeah,,what a jackass, Weston you suck!
Deacon Jones | June 9, 2011 at 8:47 am
HAhahahaha!
This is great, nothing like a fucking wannabe metal head with skull rings getting his ass handed to him by a guy who eats soy protein and jogs.
Weston, you’ve officially lost any “badass” credibility you may have had.
I guarantee his POA wife leaves him within 1-2 weeks. Mark my words.
Mumbles | June 9, 2011 at 10:00 am
God yeah, I mean who the hell gets their ass kicked by a guy who blatantly trains in MMA, what a pussy…
bianca | June 9, 2011 at 10:40 am
..The same guy that begs his dad to fork over $500/hr for a personal trainer, and throws a hissyfit when he couldn’t have pudding for dessert, then in a drug fueled rage, foolishly decides he can take down said guy who BLATANTLY trains in MMA and throws punches like his arms are made of spaghetti. That’s who.
Deacon Jones | June 9, 2011 at 10:41 am
Oh.
I didnt know punching someone while on top of them made them an MMA fighter, that’s news to me.
Mumbles | June 9, 2011 at 10:58 am
Never said MMA fighter, I said he trains blatantly trains in MMA, two different things. You’ve got a fitness trainer, i.e. a guy who’s in ridiculous shape, who has a bigger guy on the ground and is postured up in mount hitting him with elbows and punches and controlling him easily. He’d probably pound the shit out of most of you as well.
Deacon Jones | June 9, 2011 at 11:18 am
I think you’re giving this guy a little too much credit.
Or haven’t seen many actual fights, one or the other.
Brian | June 10, 2011 at 10:05 am
This phrase “blatantly trains in MMA” is not proper use of English. “Blatant” is not a synonym of “obvious.” An act must be negative or offensive before we would speak about it being done in a blatant way. Someone might blatantly abuse the English language, but they could not be said to blatantly use proper English. (Maybe only as a language joke!) Training in MMA is neutral, not bad, and thus it cannot be said to be blatant. Let me just quote answers.com here:
“Blatant is sometimes used to mean simply “obvious,” as in the blatant danger of such an approach, but this use has not been established and is widely considered an error.”
Mumbles | June 9, 2011 at 12:00 pm
Yeah sorry, what was I thinking arguing the point with you, I forgot all the experienced street fighters hang out on the superficial comments section. I’m sure you’d have kicked his ass…
andrew | June 9, 2011 at 3:52 pm
you are aware that the argument is not about whether he could destroy any of us. (he could. we’re all pussies. and yes, it does take one to know one, pussy.) but if he does or does not train in MMA, REGARDLESS IF HE FIGHTS IN IT. if you have some link you can post talking about how this trainer trains in mixed martial arts, link it. otherwise, you are infactual, you are a moron, and a pussy (as previously proven.)
being a physical fitness trainer =/= MMA trained.
physical fitness trainer = knowledgeable on what to eat and how to work out.
Employee | June 9, 2011 at 8:57 am
not very kvlt to have a personal trainer, let-alone one that kicks you ass.
Doc Schweinstrudel | June 9, 2011 at 8:57 am
he is an ugly jew. Glad he was kicked
TaT | June 9, 2011 at 8:05 pm

Yep, he’s a hardcore metal head alright.
Yeah, right.
Dr. Love | June 9, 2011 at 9:37 am
All metal heads are weak but at least he didn’t run like most of them!
ugh | June 9, 2011 at 9:22 am
bystanders standing by and taking videos. depressing
Dirty old whore | June 9, 2011 at 9:45 am
So they should have in your opinion done what? Pulled the trainer off so that psycho boy could continue going bezerk and trying to attack him or beat the pyscho while the trainer held him down? The cops had already been called.
ugh | June 9, 2011 at 2:27 pm
voyeuristic. I hate myself for even watching the video. Let alone standing mere feet away recording it.
Jackie Chiles | June 9, 2011 at 9:47 am
So you are trying to create a whole new animal… the GUILTY bystander. This is a travesty of justice.
Mongo | June 9, 2011 at 1:00 pm
The bystanders have no duty to intervene…but they’re still chickenshit.
Jovy | June 10, 2011 at 1:02 am
Next time you see a fight like this, video tape yourself trying to be a hero and then show us the results so we can laugh at your logic.
Iveski | June 9, 2011 at 9:25 am
Am I the only one who thinks more people should get the shit beat out of them? I’m not saying it would cure all the world’s ills, but I bet there’d be a fraction of the thoughtlessness and stupidity if people thought there was a chance they’d have their ass handed to them. Our society has become so self-centred and self-entitled – maybe it’s the result of there being no repercussions for any of your actions?
So, in closing, I will support whatever party implements beatings for stupid people.
Kevin | June 9, 2011 at 9:47 am
I agree. Anyone that claims fighting doesn’t solve anything has clearly never hit someone in the face or been hit in the face. It solves problems very effectively.
Jackie Chiles | June 9, 2011 at 9:49 am
Well said. It does seem in “less civilized” countries where men don’t sue you or run to the cops if you hand them their ass for being a douche because they would be further humiliated by society if word got out that they got their ass beaten and were being a douche that there is a far lower a-hole population.
Bad American Parent | June 9, 2011 at 9:52 am
I blame the parents for not giving an ass whupping in the early days when it mattered most. Spare the rod, create a selfish, entitled piece of shit.
wasdas | June 9, 2011 at 10:17 pm
Yeah the ghetto is real elite. Every douche who’s never lived outside of their own country says this bullshit.
jim x | June 11, 2011 at 11:05 pm
Meh. People want to live here rather than “less civilized” countries for a reason. I agree it is quite gratifying to see douchebags get punched. If only there was a way to make sure that if there no laws, ONLY douchebags would get punched.
But in other countries that have less cops and more fighting, it generally turns out the douchebags become warlords and run things, because non-douchebags have families, easily-damaged businesses etc. and just want to get on with their lives.
bianca | June 9, 2011 at 10:09 am
I don’t normally condone violence, but sometimes there’s no other way to set fucktards straight. Perfect examples are when Perez Hilton got his ass kicked. Nothing you could say would embarrass this guy bc he has no shame. Or that kid in Australia that ruined the bully that was tormenting him.
People are running around acting like morons and bullies bc they have been getting away w it for so long. Sometimes the only way to humiliate them & knock someone off their pedestal is to knock them on their ass.
Blumpkin | June 9, 2011 at 11:06 am
I always condone violence, think it works wonders and DEFINITELY think that more women need their asses kicked…especially black women that think they are men.
They wouldnt run their mouths, tailgate & do all the things that men fist fight about if they knew they could possibly be eating dirt too.
moon | June 9, 2011 at 11:58 am
Somebody must have ate a cold dyck this morning vvvvvv
YeahOkay | June 10, 2011 at 10:20 am
LMAO@ BLUMPKIN being scared of black women. Why are black women always the topic of discussion??? This has NOTHING to do with US!! It’s funny how we’re always on the minds of bloggers. smmfh
Rancid | June 9, 2011 at 10:34 am
It’s all about lawsuits now. If two boys get into a fight, you can bet your ass that the loser’s parents are going to be suing the winner’s parents and the school “for allowing it”.
When I was a lad, there was a priest who would break up a fight, and then have the boys put on boxing gloves and settle it in a controlled environment. Fucking brilliant. But that shit doesn’t happen any more. Boys are now conditioned to internalize all that hostility instead of working it out in the here and now. Guess what? They turn into fucking psychos.
juaquin ingles | June 9, 2011 at 1:09 pm
My middle school gym teacher did that too.
Alex | June 9, 2011 at 3:05 pm
These days we live in a society that promotes passive aggressive behavior. I agree, I’m tried of having to deal with fake, superficial people who “fight” with legal manipulation, snarky comments and insults. And no, you can’t beat the shit out of them, cause YOU end up going to jail for them. Personally, I think psychological abuse repressed anger is far worse than just having a fist fight or something and getting over it.
Evil | June 9, 2011 at 3:33 pm
Yeah, go pick a fight in, say, any ghetto in american.
cc | June 9, 2011 at 10:08 pm
‘Am I the only one who thinks more people should get the shit beat out of them?’
No, you are not. There have been a couple of occasions over the past couple of years where only the knowledge of the legal ramifications prevented me from getting belligerent. And I’m a pretty nice guy.

Thats Nic’s fault, he didn’t give the kid a proper disguise superhero name.

pussybonesuckr | June 9, 2011 at 12:31 pm
Yea, I figure someone with the name vitobonespur would enjoy what is obviously 3 gay guys giving a commentary and getting turned on watching 2 men wrestle on the ground.
Thanks for coming out of the closet on the superficial…hoeMoe.
Now go clean yourself up before getting back to embalming & bathing the bodies weirdo.
yawn | June 9, 2011 at 9:44 am
agree.. it has gotten to the point that passive aggression is a real threatening tool these days.. some guy gets you worked up with his bullshit then steps back to watch you froth.. and if you touch him you end up with problems..
i hate passive aggressive cunts.. either back yourself up or stfu..
lalala | June 9, 2011 at 9:48 am

Cock Dr | June 9, 2011 at 9:53 am
This poor guy had a complete breakdown, and the trainer lost a customer. So sad.
Whatever | June 9, 2011 at 9:56 am
I’m sorry, but if you get punched in the face from a man THAT many times and you don’t get knocked out? Those are some WUSSY punches!
dudeatdudedotdude | June 9, 2011 at 10:54 am
he should name this move the ‘streetsweeper’, since he was cleanin the gutter with that boy’s hair
Whatever | June 9, 2011 at 12:57 pm
+1!!!!
jim x | June 11, 2011 at 11:07 pm
Apparently those wussy punches were why Cage was on the ground and helpless.
Helena Handbasket | June 9, 2011 at 10:08 am
I know nothing else about this story, but I bet my left tit that the kid had it coming.
The douchebag doesn’t fall far from the rectum.

At the very end you can hear Weston say something along the lines of “I’ll fuck you up man, get off me!” Tough guy to the end.
Russ Collins WSJ | June 9, 2011 at 11:32 am
Last week Weston kicked my ass.

spoiled brat got owned
right | June 9, 2011 at 11:54 am
Obviously Weston has issues if a fight starts based on the food menu. It appeared the beat-down was excessive under the circumstances. Maybe he can get the mental help he so desperately needs.

Oh nice smart people at the TMZ website. People are saying it’s an MKUltra conspiracy to “reprogram” him.
WTF Bruh | June 9, 2011 at 5:43 pm
I hate how people always say “roundhouse kick” when describing a spinning heel kick. It like saying slam dunk for a touchdown. You are ignorant. Thanks.
devilsrain | June 9, 2011 at 6:14 pm
You mean a spinning back kick? How would you know what kick he threw out, were you at the next table?

Nicolas is a cool guy, yeah he fucked up with his money and all, even had to sell his castle in Germany (really must be bad) but still he’s a great guy who’s been in some of the most rememberable, awesome movies, even way back, lot’s of classics, and is a great actor, although the last years unfortunatley he also been in some really shitty ones,… he takes on almost every role in order to straighten out his financials but come on that really only makes the guy more sympathetic, at least he’s fighting shit and isn’t lawyering up and tries to hide behind memories of better times.
Yeah his son sure looks like a total wannabe-rebel-goth/ douche, but well what do you expect of a spoiled kid who’s grown up as a son of a bad ass actor, if you’re younger that’s not really that far off from the reality most ppl go through in one way or another, maybe with limited means but still,…
Also Nic clearly stands by his son, no ducking away in shame or anything like that, the guy is decent!
If at some point his kid grows up to be a real man, leaving the posing behind, with a real haircut I bet he would look rather good with those blue eyes, the day will come mark my words. Maybe this “event” will point him in the right direction.
devilsrain | June 11, 2011 at 3:18 am
