Tony Hawk revealed he once stalked Nicolas Cage

The birdman revealed how he was accidentally stalking the actor Nicolas Cage during South by Southwest festival. He said, “Somehow, I was always on the exact same schedule as Nicolas Cage and so every time we go to an interview; I was right ahead of him or right behind him. And at the end of the day, I was behind him cause I was just always trying to get out of the car. It was funny because we were trailing Nicolas Cage all day.”

Tony further added, “we had a brief discussion and told him how I dressed up as him from ‘wild at heart’ for the Halloween. I just told him I want to show this photo from Halloween 10 years ago and he said that’s Sailor and Lula, like we didn’t know.”
