After weeks of personal drama, Nicholas Cage put his woes aside today to celebrate the wedding of his son, Weston.

Nicholas, 47, ditched his usually scruffy appearance for a sharp looking black tuxedo complete with cummerbund and bow tie as he headed to meet his son and his future bride at their hotel.

With slicked back hair and a pair of gold rimmed Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses, the Leaving Las Vegas actor appeared relaxed and happy as he left his New Orleans home.

Meanwhile Cage has been spotted on the set of his latest movie Medallion after being charged on April 15 after a public fight in which he allegedly  'assaulted' his wife Alice Kim and was so intoxicated he didn't know where he lived, according to police.

Cage walked about the set with a big smile on his face and happily posed for photos with fans and joked around with security staff, onlookers report.

The Adaptation star plays a former thief in the action thriller, who is frantically searching for his daughter after she is kidnapped.

The actor has been staying in Louisiana during filming.

New Orleans Police Officer Garry Flot told Mail Online: 'Cage and his wife were standing in front of a residence that he insisted was the property the couple was renting,' police said in a statement.

'She disagreed, and Cage grabbed her by the upper arm and pulled her to what he believed was the correct address.

'The actor then began striking vehicles and later attempted to get into a taxi.  At that point, an officer who had been flagged down by onlookers drove up on the couple and ordered him out of the cab, which prompted Cage to start yelling. The officers subsequently took Cage to Central Lock-up.'

The police report also reveals the officer 'immediately observed that Cage was heavily intoxicated'  and his wife showed 'no visible signs of injury.'

Cage was charged with one count of domestic violence and one count of public drunkenness.

The public argument occurred after the couple turned up to a New Orleans tattoo parlour.

CCTV footage of the pair with friends shows an intoxicated Cage arguing with staff and pointing his finger at them.

He stumbled into the New Orleans parlour and sources have told TMZ.com that as well as demanding a piece of body art he was also throwing his clothes around.

After his arrest Cage was released after $11,000 bail was posted.

According Radar Online, reality TV star Duane 'Dog the Bounty Hunter' Chapman came up with the bail money to ensure Cage's release.

Chapman's wife, Beth, even took to Twitter to boast about their company's role in the incident, and possibly to drum up future business.

'My guy just walked out of the jail damn new Orleans 8 hours holy cow that's a lot of time to process one guy,' Beth tweeted.
