Will Smith could run.The 59-year-old Hollywood actor has finally revealed the reason he would often be slapped by fans whenever he was at an airport.Cage, whose real name is Nicolas Coppola, said the bizarre trend was inspired by his 1987 film “Moonstruck,” in which he starred opposite singer Cher.In the film, Cher slaps Cage’s character.“For the longest time, back from ‘Moonstruck,’ I would walk to the airport and people just had a habit of saying: ‘Snap out of it!’ from Moonstruck – the Cher ‘Snap out of it’ [line] – and I did get slapped a few times,” he told Entertainment Tonight.“Oh yeah, I did! And that, you know, it’s part of the job,” he added.When asked why fans felt the need to raise a hand against the Oscar winner, Cage suspected it was because fans believed there could have been something in it for them.“I think maybe [they think] I’ll cast them in something. Who knows?” he quipped.Cage previously revealed that he almost turned down the role — but ultimately agreed to it after making a deal with his agent.“I made that movie on a deal with my then-agent Ed Limato.

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor About one-fourth of Roku’s cash and equivalents — nearly half a billion dollars — has been held in Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), which was shut down by financial regulators Friday after it collapsed. And the streaming platform company said it’s unsure the extent to which it will be able to recover that cash.

The remaining $1.4 billion is “distributed across multiple large financial institutions,” Roku said in the filing.
