London, July 23 - Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage showed his softer side when he ditched a movie wrap party to chat with a homeless fan standing outside.

The actor became acquainted with the man while filming upcoming adventure film 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' in New York City, as the man often stopped by the set.

Cage expressed his gratitude for the support by snubbing the movie's wrap party at New York night club Greenhouse to chat with his new friend last week, reported femalefirst.co.uk

Cage and producer Jerry Bruckheimer both went outside and spent a lot of time with the man. They thanked him for supporting the film.
