Sinkhole Collapses Driveway at Nicolas Cage's Malibu Home

A 30-foot sinkhole emerged outside a Malibu residence reportedly belonging to actor Nicolas Cage after the driveway collapsed due to heavy rainfall in Southern California. The sinkhole, which formed early Tuesday morning, consumed a significant portion of the driveway, leaving behind shattered asphalt, concrete, and construction materials. Emergency services were dispatched to address a gas leak resulting from the structural collapse, which SoCalGas later confirmed was contained. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported. Cage acquired the home in 2024, as noted by the New York Times. Residents nearby mentioned that an 8-foot sinkhole began to develop on Monday, with one stating that initial concerns were minimal until “all hell broke loose” as more ground eroded. The incident coincided with a coastal flooding warning linked to Tropical Storm Marie, which brought rain and high waves. Malibu City officials deemed at least five homes on the street unsafe and cautioned that emergency access was significantly limited. Cage, an Oscar winner for Leaving Las Vegas in 1996, is recognized for his roles in films like Gone in 60 Seconds, Face/Off, and Con Air.
