Cage forgives Penn for 'not an actor' remark

Hollywood star Nicolas Cage has forgiven his Fast Times At Ridgemont High co-star Sean Penn for blasting his film choices, insisting he welcomes badly received movies.

In 1999, Penn famously declared: "Nic Cage is no longer an actor. He's more like a performer," after Cage appeared in several blockbusters movies, including Face/Off and Con Air, over gritty, low-budget dramas.
