    Nicolas Cage didn’t see his unconventional family coming.

    “It’s not what I had originally thought would happen when I fell in love or got married — that I would have three different children with three different moms — but nonetheless that’s what’s happened,” the actor admitted to the New Yorker in an interview published Monday.

    Cage, who shares son Weston, 33, with ex-girlfriend Christina Fulton, son Kal-El, 18, with ex-wife Alice Kim, and daughter August, 1, with wife Riko Shibata, called each kid’s upbringing a “different experience.”

    The “Wicker Man” star, 60, explained, “Each one has a different mother. … So every child is different. There’s a different kind of level of attention.”

    He noted that raising his youngest child has been unique since having a daughter led to “different levels of worry and protection … taking [fatherhood] into overdrive.”

    Cage is “very immersed” in August at the moment and called her toddler years an “attention suck.”
