In a clip shared on Tuesday Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Renfield the actor recalled seeing “faces in the dark” but then said that “perhaps they were the vibrations of a voice reaching to him”

Nicolas Cage was in great shape during a recent interview Late show with Stephen Colbert.

In a clip posted on Tuesday Renfield actor played a round of “Questionert” (pronounced “Questionnaire”) with host Stephen Colbert. One of Cage’s more colorful answers came when the TV personality asked the Oscar winner about his earliest childhood memory.

“Let me think. Look, I know it sounds really crazy and I don’t know if it’s true or not, but sometimes I think I can go all the way back to the womb and feel like I see faces in the dark or something,” Cage, 59, described , Colbert, 58.

“I know it sounds very abstract,” he continued, “but somehow it seems like it happened. Now that I’m no longer in the womb, I would have to imagine that it was maybe the vocal vibrations that resonated with me at that stage.”

Reflecting further, Cage added: “It goes way back. I don’t know. This comes to mind… I don’t even know if I remember being in my mother’s womb, but the thought crossed my mind.”
