Oscar winner actor Nicolas Cage has successfully sued the Daily Mail newspaper and actress Kathleen Turner, who accused him of stealing a dog.

The libelous claim was published in Turner’s book, Send Yourself Roses.

The Daily Mail published the claims in an article on January 28th 2008.

The actor, who appeared in hit films such as Gone in 60 Seconds and Face Off as well as an Oscar winning performance in Leaving Las Vegas, began a claim against Turner and Associated Newspapers at the high court in February.Solicitor Jane Phillips, acting on behalf of the defendants, explained to the court:

“They accept that the allegations are false and ought never to have been published.”

Cage’s solicitor stated:

“The publication of the allegations has caused damage to the claimant’s personal and professional reputation and he has suffered considerable embarrassment and distress.”

Smith added: “My client is extremely pleased with the outcome, which sets the record straight, since he has never been arrested for drunk-driving, dog theft, or anything else.
