Cage cements his place in Hollywood history

Nicolas Cage has left his mark in Hollywood. He plunged his hands and feet into wet cement outside the historic Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

The star of Captain Corelli's Mandolin said he was honoured to be immortalised.

"I used to come here when I was a kid," Cage told the crowd at the ceremony.

"I'd look at all my heroes, like Humphrey Bogart, and their hands and feet and thought about, 'Well, God, wouldn't that be great if one day that could happen?' And you've all made it happen."

Cage was joined by girlfriend Lisa Marie Presley, actor Jim Carrey and Tonight Show host Jay Leno.
