Academy Award winning actor Nicolas Cage, who has voiced the character of Grug the father, in his next, The Croods, says he empathises with his on-screen alter ego, because it’s impossible to be a father and avoid thinking about your child’s first crush, or about keeping up with your kids’ new ways of thinking.

"We, as parents, go too far sometimes, but that’s where Grug is at,” says Cage adding, “He does experience a transformation, which we all must do at some point in our lives.” The movie hits theaters on April 19, here.
