Nicholas Cage, who is the United Nations Goodwill ambassador on Drugs and Crime, laughs with the officer in charge of the Shimo la Tewa GK Prison, Mombasa, Kenya, after visiting the prison today. The 45-year-old star has looked better, don't you think? His hair is disappearing, and he seems very pale. See more photos after the jump.

Maybe his financial problems are causing premature aging?

Cage is taking his former business manager to court in a multi-million dollar lawsuit, accusing the adviser of sending the actor "down a path toward financial ruin." The star has been hit with a $6.26 million tax lien from Internal Revenue Service (IRS), alleging he failed to pay income tax on wages dating back to 2007.

Cage is also facing other claims of unpaid tax related to his earnings between 2002 and 2004, while he was accused of defaulting on a $2 million loan earlier this month.
