Nicolas Cage feels like he got it right with his fifth wife, Rico Shibata. During an interview with the Los Angeles Times, the "Pig" actor said his wife is at the top of his list of favorite things in life.

"I'm really happily married," he said. "I know five is a lot but I think I got it right this time."
