Tiffany Haddish revealed that she had her first orgasm as a teenager while watching a Nicolas Cage film – a moment that came back to haunt her when she started working with the actor on a new movie.

In an interview with NPR published on Tuesday, the "Bad Trip" actress opened up about how she briefly struggled to work with the "National Treasure" star while filming the upcoming movie, "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent."

The 41-year-old comedian said that when it came time to film, she couldn't focus because she was worried too much about whether or not she needed to tell Cage about the sexual memory.

"You could tell he was getting irritated and I was like, 'Look, I'm really intimidated by you and I need to tell you something,'" she said. "'I have to tell you this story, man, and once I tell you this story it'll be fine.'"

As her story goes, when Haddish was about 17 years old, she went on a date with a guy to see Cage's 1997 thriller "Face/Off." And while in the back of a nearly empty theater, they kissed and engaged in other sexual activities.

"As I was achieving a momentous moment that I had never experienced in my life, I open my eyes, and the eyes of Nicolas Cage are looking into my eyes super big, and so that was my first 'big O,'" she said.

"So now I'm standing across from this man with those same big old eyeballs," she said, adding, "All I can think about is the guy that I went to the movies with and how we were making out and then that feeling, and then how weird I feel remembering this in front of him."

Thankfully, Haddish said Cage found the story comical and "laughed super hard" when she told him. He also related the experience to a story in which his first wife, Patricia Arquette, told him she thought she was going to marry Cage when she saw him in a movie - and then did.

"I said, yeah, well, I didn't say that I was going to marry you, nor let you put your fingers anywhere on me, OK? I'm just letting you know," Haddish recalled telling Cage.
