<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nNew Orleans is a magical city for so many people who visit and this includes celebrities you see on your TV or hear on the radio. There is a certain charm to the birthplace of jazz that has captivated all kinds of people in the entertainment business. I have found 9 popular celebrities that call New Orleans home (at least for part of the year!) Keep your eyes open and you might spot these high-profile people around the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brad Pitt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Brad Pitt has lived with his wife Angelina Jolie in the New Orleans French Quarter since 2007 when they bought their 1830’s home. Brad Pitt is an American actor and producer. He has starred and played in countless roles since 1987 and continues to do so. Some of his most well-known movies include 12 Monkeys, Fight Club, <\/em>The Oceans <\/em>Trilogy, 12 Years a Slave, <\/em>and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\nDue to his recent divorce of Angelina Jolie, they are selling that property for over $4 million. Up until now, Brad Pitt has lived with Jolie and their five children in the 7,650 square foot home. Their property is a 5 bedroom, 3 bath, 3 story Venetian style home. They moved in when Brad became passionate about rebuilding homes destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. He founded the “Make it Right” foundation to build new houses in the 9th Ward for those that need them. He has constructed 150 new homes so far. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nicolas Cage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Nicolas Cage has been in the film business since 1981. He debuted in the film Fast Times at Ridgemont High<\/em> and has been in movies and TV since. Though he is sometimes teased on the internet for his unconventional acting style, he has really made a name for himself. He lives in New Orleans with his current wife, Riko Shibata.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBeing eccentric, Nick Cage lives in New Orleans and has had many odd homes while residing there. Cage previously owned the LaLaurie House, a renowned haunted mansion, where he unsuccessfully tried to write a novel. Madame Delphine LaLaurie, one previous owner and serial killer, was said to torture and kill slaves in the basement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to willingly living in a haunted mansion until 2009, Nicolas Cage has already built his tomb in the St. Louis Cemetery No. 1. Also buried in this cemetery is Marie Laveau, a voodoo priestess from the 19th century. Having his grave there is a pretty good reason for him to live in New Orleans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
