Nicolas Cage has revealed that he was once stalked by a mime artist.

The Rock actor, who recently put his properties on the market to pay off a tax debt, said that he found the experience with the silent performer "unsettling".

Cage told Parade magazine: "I guess it would fall into the stalker category more or less. I was being stalked by a mime - silent, but maybe deadly. Somehow, this mime would appear on the set of Bringing Out the Dead and start doing strange things."

He continued: "I have no idea how it got past security. Finally, the producers took some action and I haven't seen the mime since. But it was definitely unsettling."
