Cage to marry teen waitress

Metro13 April 2012

Film star Nicolas Cage is to marry a waitress half his age after meeting her just two months ago, it was reported yesterday.

The 40-year-old actor proposed to Alice Kim, 19, with a giant diamond and emerald ring.

He was said to be smitten after meeting her on Valentine's Day while out with friends in a Los Angeles sushi bar where she worked.

During the meal he plucked up the courage to ask her on a date. To her surprise, he invited her to the Oscars the following month.

The whirlwind romance echoes the story of the film It Could Happen To You, in which he played a lottery winner who falls for a waitress. 'Nic has really fallen for this girl,' said a Hollywood source.

Cage was briefly married to Lisa Marie Presley in 2002 and divorced Patricia Arquette in 2000 after five years together.
