Actor Nicolas Cage has filed for an annulment four days after getting married in Las Vegas, saying he was too drunk to understand his actions.
A court record shows the Ghost Rider star asked on Wednesday for the annulment of his marriage to Erika Koike.
Cage claims the pair drank "to the point of intoxication" before the wedding on Saturday.
Celebrity website The Blast reported that Cage's lawyers said: "Prior to obtaining a marriage license and participating in a marriage ceremony, [Cage] and [Koike] were both drinking to the point of intoxication.
"As a result of his intoxication, when [Koike] suggested to [Cage] that they should marry, [Cage] reacted on impulse and without the ability to recognise or understand the full impact of his actions."

The 55-year-old also argues that he wasn't aware of Ms Koike's "relationship with another person", with the document also stating that she did not inform him of her "criminal history" including "additional active criminal proceedings".
Ms Koike, a makeup artist, is understood to have pleaded not guilty to a DUI charge in Las Vegas and is scheduled to return to court in June.
