Hollywood star Nicolas Cage was recently filmed being thrown out of a Las Vegas bar. He was apparently "completely drunk and being rowdy" and was mistaken for a "homeless man," an eyewitness revealed.

The Oscar winning actor for his role as an alcoholic in Leaving Las Vegas, was kicked out of Lawry's Prime Rib after he began arguing with a staff member.

One man can be heard saying in a video from the night, "Nicolas Cage here is a little f**ked up." The star can be seen unshaven, wearing leopard-print pants and a black t-shirt, with nothing on his feet.

An eyewitness stated that they first thought he was "a homeless man completely drunk and being rowdy."

"To our shock, it turned out to be Nicolas Cage. He was completely smashed and was getting into a bit of a fight with the staff."

"He was in a really bad state and was walking around shoeless. Staff told us he had been downing shots of tequila and 1980 Macallan whiskey."

"He was shouting at people and trying to get into fights and then staff asked him to leave."

In the footage, he can be seen slurring while asking for his "shoes" and was given a pair of thongs that he struggled to slide onto his feet.

"He was so drunk he could barely get his flip-flops on before being escorted out." said an eyewitness who also claimed he "asked us if we wanted to come back to his place."

The footage ends with Cage trying to make his back inside the bar and confronting the staff that threw him out.

"Stop, man" a voice says on the video, clearly noting the embarrassment he had caused.

He annulled his Vegas marriage to fourth wife Erika Koike in March 2019, stating he was too drunk to "understand the full impact of his actions."

He also admitted to throwing himself into his work in order to avoid being "self-destructive" in 2018.

"Then I'm just going to sit and order two bottles of red wine and dissolve, and I don't want to be that person, so I have to work."

All individuals who were requested for comment have refused to say anything about the incident.
