For all I know, Nic Cage could have gotten married and divorced during the time it took me to write this sentence (about four minutes because I’m a one finger typer).

The 55-year-old actor and sex icon has married four times–Patricia Arquette (1995-2001), Lisa Marie Presley (2002-2004), Alice Kim (2004-2016), and most recently Erika Koike (5:40 pm – 11:20 pm).

Cage and makeup artist Erika Koike, who have been dating for a year, applied for a marriage license Saturday, and by Wednesday the two Cage had filed for an annulment in Las Vegas.

TMZ obtained the annulment docs filed by Cage, who claims he was so fucking hammered that he allowed his girlfriend to coax him into half his assets.

He says he and Erika were wasted when they decided to get hitched. Nic says, “[Erika] suggested to [Nic] that they should marry, [Nic] reacted on impulse and without the ability to recognize or understand the full impact of his actions.”

He goes on to say the marriage was a fraud because she didn’t disclose “the full nature and extent of her relationship with another person.” He also says she didn’t disclose her criminal history.

And, he justifies the annulment by saying they had “such conflict in personalities and dispositions that are so deep as to render the two incompatible in marriage.”

The pair was also spotted outside the Bellagio hotel directly after they tied the knot and eyewitnesses claim Erika was screaming at her new husband. And, just before they got married, when Cage was piss drunk, they were also spotted engaging in a heated argument.

I would empty my bank account to obtain a voice recording of that argument. Nic Cage just piss drunk being coaxed into marriage when all he really wants to do is locate the Declaration of Independence. What a pickle.

File Nic Cage under: National Treasure.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
