Nicolas Cage held his breath for two minutes on David Letterman’s US chat show last night for the first time in more than 30 years. The 43-year-old actor, whose new movie Next opens tomorrow in America, last went without air for 120 seconds when he was 12 and decided to give it another go. Before taking a deep breath, Cage said, "We were talking about the fact my character (in Next) can see two minutes into his own future and I said I can’t do that. "But I do recall when I was 12 I could hold my breath for two minutes. When I was 12. I don’t know if I can do it again, but I will try." While he held his breath, television viewers were treated to the trailer for Next. And when a successful Cage finally emerged for air, he quipped, "I’d like to see Spider-Man do that!"Next basic premise is Cris Johnson (Nicolas Cage) is a Las Vegas magician with the ability to see a few minutes into the future. Seeking to escape government scrutiny, he lives off the grid, performing cheap tricks for meager cash under an assumed name. But when a terrorist group threatens to detonate a nuclear device in Los Angeles, FBI agent Callie Ferris (Julianne Moore) becomes determined to track Cris down and convince him to help stop the attack.
