Nicolas Cage returns stolen dinosaur skull.
Actor Nicolas Cage has agreed to return a stolen dinosaur skull to the Mongolian government,
Reuters reports.
You're probably imagining Cage in an Indiana Jones costume, pilfering ancient artifacts in Mongolia. But the truth is actually far more mundane: Cage bought the skull in 2007 from a Beverly Hills gallery, paying $276,000 for it and outbidding Leo DiCaprio in the process. (Poor guy just can't catch a break; Nic Cage has also managed to actually win an Oscar.)
However, according to Cage's publicist Alex Schack, in July of 2014 Cage was informed by the U.S. authorities that the skull might have been stolen. After this was proven as fact, Cage agreed to return it to the Mongolian government. The actor has not been accused of wrongdoing.
