Cage's mansion fails to sell

Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage has been forced to take his Bel Air mansion off the market after it failed to sell - despite being on offer for a year.

The star purchased the house in 1998 for $7m and put the property up for sale in 2006 with a price tag of $35m.

However, Cage has now withdrawn the sale after 12 months on the realtor's books failed to secure a buyer.
