Nicolas Cage is said to be a "brilliant" grandpa.

The actor's eldest son Weston Cage and his wife Danielle welcomed their own child Lucian Augustus into the world this July, and the rocker plans to raise his son according to the lessons taught to him by his own father.

Weston explained: "He likes [to be called] Grandpa, or Nonno, the Italian.

"He's a brilliant grandfather.

"I believe that a lot of the morals and philosophies that I will teach to my son definitely comes from my father. He was an amazing father to me."

And he already has plans for which Nicolas Cage movie to show his son first.

"The Sorcerer's Apprentice'. Things like magic, all those things are so embedded in a child's psychology.

"Plus it was dedicated to my grandfather, Augustus, which is his middle name."

Lucian is said to already be showing a keen interest in his father's music.

"He loves music, he's enthralled by it, if I play the mandolin or something, he'll stare at the instrument and watch me, he's mesmerised.

"He loves [the harder stuff], he was in the womb when I was recording [my album, 'Prehistoric Technology'] and when he came out, a couple of months later I was playing the harder stuff and he was moving his head and his hands."

Even when he'll be taken on the road, Weston is hoping to provide Lucian with a stable and caring environment.

"I'll definitely make sure that [Lucian] doesn't have to deal with too many schools back and forth.

"I'll want to get someone that's trustworthy to tutor and provide everything that a school could."
