Nicolas Cage is currently staying with his family in Yallingup, Western Australia as he films his upcoming movie The Surfer.
And on Saturday, the Hollywood star, 59, shocked onlookers as he stumbled across the beach looking worse for wear while filming a fight scene.
Cage was almost unrecognisable underneath bloodied and bruised makeup as he performed an intense fight scene with a co-star.
He sported an orange dress shirt, which was covered in sweat and blood, and grey pants and walked barefoot along the glistening sand.
His brown hair was mussed up and he sported a rugged looking five o’clock shadow as he jumped in the water to wrestle with a co-star.

At one point, Cage grappled with another actor during filming and trapped him in a headlock as his character emerged victorious during their fight scene.
The California native was then seen picking up a sign at the beach which said ‘Locals Only’ and pretending to hit his co-star over the head with it, as filming wrapped.
The Con Air star then enjoyed a well-deserved rest and a drink of water on a chair at the unit base as he put on a pair of stylish sunglasses to enjoy the scenic view.

Nicolas and Riko met in Japan in 2020 when he was filming Sion Sono’s Prisoners Of Ghostland and after getting engaged on FaceTime, the couple tied the knot at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas in February 2021.
