This man is an international treasure. He is absolutely unashamed of who he is and what he does, and the rest of us are fortunate that he fully embraces it.
He took that interview so seriously, but then he reminded me that he's not on social media; which made the whole interview really make sense. He doesn't have that kind of "laid back" mentality for interviews like this. Good episode!
You know why I think we all love him so much? He is unapologetically, fascinatingly, endearingly odd, and he has absolutely no pretention about him. He doesn't feel a need to justify himself, and he projects that on to everything around him. Nick Cage is the constant. He is the human spirit.
This man is as professional as an actor can get. Even when he talks about his lesser known movies or those that sparked criticism or mockery among the masses, he addresses them as his children, as integral parts of what makes him the man he is. Not only that, he clearly pours his heart out in every single role he's in. And calling that attitude "commendable" would be a grave understatement.
At the end when he said he hopes we all enjoyed this as much as him I was like, dude did you actually enjoy this? Or did he find it tedious and hopes we all wasted our time like he did 😆I hope he did have a good time though
I never met him, but my sister was his Fight Attendant when he owned a private plane before the tax thing. She said he was always as nice and chill as he seems to be here; she worked for him at least two years, and says she wished she still did.
I really apprecieate how he encouraged people to have their own ideas and interpretations of specific things in his movies rather than trying to figure out what is actually the "correct" explanation.
Nick is a huge fan of movies, and considering his uncle was Coppola, that makes sense. He would never ruin that sense of wonder and personal interpretation for anyone.
@@steveosk8s As much as some critics lambaste his method of acting, you can tell he has passion and respect for the art of film making. Otherwise he might have tried to answer some of those questions. People who know films know that you get what you perceive out of many films, not what the director and anyone else intends for you to perceive.
I really like how he sees movies as something unique to each viewer. He cares more about the audience's relationship with his films than their relationship with him.
Movie fans: argue and fight about what actually happens in a movie. Nic cage: It's your relationship with the movie. And relationship is always different for everyone. Me: actually mindblown.

I find that in an uncomfortable situation a quick flash of your genitals to your audience can fix it. By the time youce pulled ur pants up just pretend nothing happened and then watch their face.
What I loved about this interview is that Cage isn't faking emotions. He's genuinely polite, charismatic, and a true nerd when it comes to pop culture, mentioning Marvel, Mary Shelley and other stuff.

@@tristankendrick2582 He owed a lot of back taxes to the IRS and took any role offered for a while. He's apparently paid what he owed so hopefully there will be fewer bad movies in his future.
Nic Cage is the point of intersection between sanity and madness. And he seems to be happy as a clam about it. May we all strive for such contentment in our own lives.
He also has a charismatic yet borderline disturbing intensity about him. His story at 1:30 about going to stunt driving school is a perfect example. At the end of telling his little tale, he lets out a meme of an unexpected single chuckle at the end while his body remains completely deadpan. I love him.
I like the fact that He said he watches his own movies. A lot of celebs say they can’t bear to watch themselves on screen. He seems like a nice guy. I think part of what makes him so funny (to me) is his slightly serious demeanor haha.
if you made great action movies like he has would you watch them yourself i know i would the rock face off and con air are my favourite three cage movies
I agree that this is a fantastic insight. I believe that Samuel L Jackson enjoys watching his movies but John Malkovich on the other hand wouldn't ever consider it.
His answer to 'Is Nic Cage goth?' is so perfect! "I like mist in the morning and England when the fog rolls in, goth architecture" Shows you can appreciate the art and vibe of anything you like. 🙌
Honestly I keep Nicholas Cage and Keanu Reeves in like the same place in my heart. Always great movies even if they are rated poorly. I have always loved seeing these two in movies.
I don't know... I love most of Nicolas Cage's movies. Even if I didn't find some of them good, they still provide entertainment. However, recently I watched "211" and, dude, it was a terrible movie.
OMG! Same! I just got into Cage (I didn't realize he was in on , not the joke, but the eccentricity of his persona), but only because I ran out of watching Keanu films (I do re-watch MOPI like 4 times a year, but most of them after 4 or 5 times Im good).
He is endlessly entertaining. There is just something about this guy. I think it's a willingness to go just about anywhere in a character (even if that character is a version of yourself). He has done some of the wildest things on screen of any actor. I think that's why you just have to love this guy.
Nick makes choices in his acting roles. Sometimes the movie isn’t good, but it’s always entertaining. I’d rather be entertained then like the movie. He’s simply awesome.
I can't honestly say I've seen one of his movies, good or bad, where he was just phoning it in. He brings it all to the table regardless of what's being served.
I need to see an interview with Nic Cage and Jeff Goldblum. Two icons of a bygone golden age who still reek of charisma, talent, and mystery. Something about their speech patterns and cadence is oddly similar too.
He really has his own charisma. He answer the questions effectively,and a little daddy joke. It's kind of hard to explain,but he really have his kind of character. I really love his movies, stay healthy mr. Nick , i can't wait to watch your next movies
I like how even though he went into this interview a bit serious and bored, it managed to surprise him with some good questions. This let him look back on his career and reveal parts of himself to the audience. He started getting dramatic and I hope having fun.
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is truly Cage’s tour de force. He plays an exaggerated caricature of himself, and in doing so, reveals the real outrageousness of his life and the nuttiness of his imagined lifestyle. Very funny, and definitely worth the twelve bucks.
The first half of the movie I was like "wtf is this? this is so cheesy" then all of a sudden it changed gears and became one of my favorites movies I have ever seen by the end.
1st, He hates social media so much. I watched his answering questions undercover on social media on another channel it was so funny. You are a legendary actor, thanks for inviting him
I think the media didn't like the fact that his Godfather is Francis Ford Coppola, so he got early roles handed to him. But i'd say he's earned his chops over the years.
Let's be fair, he's a weird dude. However, I think had any of us normal folks been given Hollywood money we'd all be indulging our weirdness in the exact same way he does.
it is nice to see him warming up to the end. It gave me the impression he entered the interview like thinking it was to meme him again rather than to know him, you can see how in each answer he tries to simplify (being true to himself) the content. That is an intense dude who loves acting and a gift to us all.
I really like that Nicholas Cage is just rolling with the fact that people want to see more of him being exaggerated Cage. I would love to hear all his stories.
Underrated?! Probably couse he did all the films they propose him without chosing best ones. I think there are just 2-3 movies he was good. Others.. OMG!
I just saw Massive Talent and it’s really funny, lighthearted and loved that he doesn’t take himself too seriously. The chemistry between Nicolas and Pedro Pascal is off the charts, any fan of Nicolas Cage is going to love this movie.
i like how he acknowledges the fact that people interpret his movies differently and wont answer some questions as to not ruin someone's perception of him and his movies.
'I think the answer you come up with is far better than any I could offer you' The man actually UNDERSTANDS the concept of viewer imagination saving things better than rigid minute detail. There is a fine balance between being 'lazy' and hoping the audience suspends disbelief in order to create excuses, and knowing when you don't NEED there to be an explanation for something, because it doesn't have any real importance beyond that which the VIEWER injects onto it.
He seems like a genuinely polite, charming and well-mannered person. I also appreciated that he gave full, informed answers to these questions; made sure that the people wondering these things got their answer, instead of making a half-hearted joke that misses it completely. I mean, if they don't want to answer a question, of course that's their right to not answer that question, but they can just say that too, like he did with the Graceland question. Anyway, nice guy.
I loved his "next movie" question. He said he's in Renfield, name-dropped the less famous and less-experienced actor, and stated that he is "supporting* Nicholas Holt. That's a classy move right there. He's a quirky dude, but I like his wavelength.
@@oscarx-ray3545 to be fair Hoult isn't exactly that much less famous than Cage (granted, Cage is pretty much legendary) and when he says he's supporting Hoult it just means Dracula's role in Renfield is that of a supporting character, as opposed to the main character, which is Renfield. Still pretty humble of him to present the fact as it is, though
This is great to see Nicolas Cage outside of the movies. Definitely seems like a nice guy and fun to be around! Keep doing this segment with him, he’s great at it!!
I honestly don't think he's talented as an actor. I've always thought he was a terrible at that. He seems like a nice genuine guy, and can be entertaining, but as far as acting goes...I never thought he gave great performances. He always over-acted and made his characters seem odd and even slightly insane.
@@GunBlade79 In the original Jules Verne's novel his nationality or ethnicity isn't specified. A later spinoff (also by Verne) retconned him to be the prince of Dakar. Therefore, Indian. However, he could play a version of the character that is not Indian. It's not like he's playing a real-life figure. Fictional characters get race-swapped all the time. Besides, the novel is long due for a modern-day adaptation and Nic Cage would be awesome in it.
Great job! More actors need to learn how to say the words:"That's none of your business" Nicholas Cage is a rare mixture of intelligence, intrigue, humor and pure intimidation. He's like the zany, kooky neighbor we all have. Just get him to talk about something he's passionate about and you're smiling for days! 😆We love you Nic! ♥️
Nicolas Cage is my favorite actor. I love the energy he brings to all his movies and you cannot help but smile when he does as his smile is contagious 😄
The guy is as interesting and odd as he is in most of his roles. He's pretty much never playing a character when he plays and eccentric, awkward but lovable odd man. What a legend, he just seems like a guy with very interesting views and tastes but not in a pretentious way, in a genuine way. He seems like he is always himself no matter what, which is a bit of an odd personality but that's probably why he plays odd personalities so well and memorably.
real great seeing nick all serious but as the interview goes on he gets more relaxed and jokes about stuff. is nice to see someone as seasoned as Nick still has his feet on the ground.
Its on my watchlist, along with Prisoners of the Ghostland. You should watch Willy's Wonderland, it is so effing good, and he doesn't speak once in it.
What a great Actor. I've enjoyed every performance he's given. Not every movie has had a great storyline but whatever he appears in, you know his acting is always going to be top shelf. Thanks for what you do!
One of the few authentic people who act. Anyone who makes art and defers to the viewer for meaning is a true artist. Anyone who goes out of their way to succeed or fail on their own terms has my respect. 👍🏻
“Is Nicolas Cage a method actor”
“It depends upon the method.”

@@motherflerkentannhauser8152 Yes, I thought it was John Travolta because of Face Off.
I don't get it.
I love how you could tell the Wired Staff member was so excited to have Nic Cage that she asked several follow-up questions.
I think part of that is because they need the guest to give longer answers and he wasn’t.
She was probably just trying to squeeze a bit more out of him, as he really seemed like he was in a hurry to leave.
You could say, she was "wired" !

Why? All actors do that... He doesn't know the story, that's why he is copy pasting that line.

He gets better with age, he was gawky before
1st, He hates social media so much. I watched his answering questions undercover on social media on another channel it was so funny.
You are a legendary actor, thanks for inviting him
When he said “I'm not on any social media. It's a antithetical to my beliefs” I felt that
@@apseudonym homie youtube can be considered social media.
And you have 48 comments on this channel alone.
@@jeltje50 lmao
Despite years of unfair media treatment, Nic still proves to be a down to earth, awesome individual. Truly an inspiration! 🤘💚
Yeah. Went through a really rough time, but thankfully he's moving beyond that.
7:21 .
Future bond?
I think the media didn't like the fact that his Godfather is Francis Ford Coppola, so he got early roles handed to him. But i'd say he's earned his chops over the years.
@@anthonytempleton2135 he’s been in a lot of rubbish but he’s played some great roles too.
Let's be fair, he's a weird dude. However, I think had any of us normal folks been given Hollywood money we'd all be indulging our weirdness in the exact same way he does.
it is nice to see him warming up to the end. It gave me the impression he entered the interview like thinking it was to meme him again rather than to know him, you can see how in each answer he tries to simplify (being true to himself) the content. That is an intense dude who loves acting and a gift to us all.
❤❤❤❤
I really like that Nicholas Cage is just rolling with the fact that people want to see more of him being exaggerated Cage. I would love to hear all his stories.
This man is so respectful to his audience. He still doesn't feel full of self.
He really is a national treasure
Bruh 🙄
@@jasonclaros7073 😂😂😂
I saw wat you did there
I need that part 3 asap
You! You see what I did there?
I love how he says anything with a straight face, absolutely everything.. I would watch 2 hours of him doing interviews like this.

Nicholas cage is the perfect combo of funny, chill, and cool. He’s definitely one of my fav actors or all time.
One of the most underrated action stars ever... Definitely a huge Nick Cage fan, and always will be.
Underrated?! Probably couse he did all the films they propose him without chosing best ones. I think there are just 2-3 movies he was good. Others.. OMG!
@@chazy10 You 🧠 n't?
@@chazy10 I love that ancient College Humor skit about it. Remember that? "Nicolas Cage's Agent" or something? _Classic_
Geez I miss seeing Nic Cage in interviews. He seems like a genuinely interesting and nice guy. Definitely one of the biggest actors of my childhood.
@J Men he had some wild Interviews back in the day lol.
I just saw Massive Talent and it’s really funny, lighthearted and loved that he doesn’t take himself too seriously. The chemistry between Nicolas and Pedro Pascal is off the charts, any fan of Nicolas Cage is going to love this movie.
I saw it over the weekend. Really enjoyable. Any Nick Cage fan will love it.
Took my mom to see it for mother's day, we all had a great time. Good laughs and wholesome too
i like how he acknowledges the fact that people interpret his movies differently and wont answer some questions as to not ruin someone's perception of him and his movies.
He seems very honest. I’ve always liked him ever since Raising Arizona, a movie in a class all by itself.
Still gotta with that one
He is an expert on movies, music, and art. Such a joy to see him when he talks about his inspirations.
We need Nic Cage on Hot Ones clearly.

@@Mcowling thats such a boring UA-cam channel lol watching people eat chicken wings like what??? 🤣
He really is a national treasure.
'I think the answer you come up with is far better than any I could offer you'
The man actually UNDERSTANDS the concept of viewer imagination saving things better than rigid minute detail. There is a fine balance between being 'lazy' and hoping the audience suspends disbelief in order to create excuses, and knowing when you don't NEED there to be an explanation for something, because it doesn't have any real importance beyond that which the VIEWER injects onto it.
Nick Cage has always been one of my favs, always love his “crazy” mode like in face off etc. Hilarious and mega entertaining to me
Who’s crazier, Nicolas Cage or Tom Cruise?
@@stephenking5852 I feel like Nick _acts_ crazy, but is relatively normal IRL, and Tom Cruise acts _normal_ and is kinda crazy IRL.
@@SpaceMissile I can agree. I like Nicolas Cage, but not Tom Cruise.
He was born to play a lovecraftian character, and he finally did in Color Out Of Space.
He seems like a genuinely polite, charming and well-mannered person. I also appreciated that he gave full, informed answers to these questions; made sure that the people wondering these things got their answer, instead of making a half-hearted joke that misses it completely. I mean, if they don't want to answer a question, of course that's their right to not answer that question, but they can just say that too, like he did with the Graceland question.
Anyway, nice guy.
I loved his "next movie" question. He said he's in Renfield, name-dropped the less famous and less-experienced actor, and stated that he is "supporting* Nicholas Holt. That's a classy move right there. He's a quirky dude, but I like his wavelength.
@@oscarx-ray3545 to be fair Hoult isn't exactly that much less famous than Cage (granted, Cage is pretty much legendary) and when he says he's supporting Hoult it just means Dracula's role in Renfield is that of a supporting character, as opposed to the main character, which is Renfield. Still pretty humble of him to present the fact as it is, though
This is great to see Nicolas Cage outside of the movies. Definitely seems like a nice guy and fun to be around! Keep doing this segment with him, he’s great at it!!
He seems genuine to who he is. Like this doesn't seem like an act to appear one way or another, it's just him.
My dad met him and said he's actually insane, and I've never received better news in my life
I'm glad people seem to really be coming around to Nic's sheer actual talent
-- Always liked him. He's been in some bad movies, sure. But he's been in some gems also.
Anyone who has ever seen Adaptation never lost faith in him.
I honestly don't think he's talented as an actor. I've always thought he was a terrible at that. He seems like a nice genuine guy, and can be entertaining, but as far as acting goes...I never thought he gave great performances. He always over-acted and made his characters seem odd and even slightly insane.
@@SlasherIncorporated odd and insane is good. Those are his best characters.
Can't imagine what it's taken for him to remain passionate and relevant after all these years, but I'm very glad to see it. Humility is rare
You know what, I agree with him. I think he would be a great choice for Captain Nemo. I hope someone out there makes that happen.
Ooooh yes!
absolutely
Yes!
@@GunBlade79 Hey, bro, if 343 can make Captain Keyes black, Hollywood can make an Indian man white. Diversity, amiright?
@@GunBlade79 In the original Jules Verne's novel his nationality or ethnicity isn't specified. A later spinoff (also by Verne) retconned him to be the prince of Dakar. Therefore, Indian.
However, he could play a version of the character that is not Indian. It's not like he's playing a real-life figure. Fictional characters get race-swapped all the time.
Besides, the novel is long due for a modern-day adaptation and Nic Cage would be awesome in it.
So glad to hear that he has watched his own movies. I always hate it when actors say they never do so.
Same! I can imagine it must be super weird for them but come on, at least they should watch their greatest films!
It makes that Depp fella cooler, though
@@thehammurabichode7994 does it though
@@madelaki yez. coz hes my daddy now.
A lot of actors don't watch their own movies because they are self conscious. I know I couldn't watch my own stuff lol
"I'm not on any social media" - a true inspiration to the world
Nics face expressions stay exactly the same whether he is sad or happy 😂
3:23 the only time he changed his expression in this video
It's all in the eyes and the voice for him, kind of neat and different
For him it's acting for the rest of us the reason is life^^
So he's like Captain Holt?
"Is -Nicholas- Nicolas Cage goth?"
He's goth enough to know that you can't just answer that question with a straight "yes", at least.
*Nicolas
@@jamesanderson6373 Or Nicky
His son definitely is
@@jamesanderson6373 fixed.
I heard as, “ Is Nicolas Cage God?” Took a split second to realise it said “goth” 🤷🏻♀️
He doesn't have to do anything special, he's funny with out trying to be. He's such a likable guy, and he seems very modest with these answers too.
That was 8 minutes with a huge smile on my face. Thanks for being you Nicky ❤
Great job! More actors need to learn how to say the words:"That's none of your business" Nicholas Cage is a rare mixture of intelligence, intrigue, humor and pure intimidation. He's like the zany, kooky neighbor we all have. Just get him to talk about something he's passionate about and you're smiling for days! 😆We love you Nic! ♥️
How could you not love this guy, he's seen and done it all still humble and funny for an interview.
Nick is only 58 years old, that makes me happy, hope we have a lot more of his creativity to enjoy in the future.
Especially since in recent years he's been making a lot more movies I'm interested in. Pig was an absolute masterpiece.
I love how he's super chill with people, people if such fame usually put up an act
Get this man his comics.
This man is the definition to “There is method to my madness.”
He is the madness to the method
ua-cam.com/video/cV9rod8eZrw/v-deo.html
His performance in Pig was killer..a true legend.
Surprised there wasn’t any questions about making Raising Arizona.
super old movie people probably don't google it too often
That might be my favorite Cage movie, which is definitely saying something
Pig really is a masterpiece
Nicolas Cage is my favorite actor. I love the energy he brings to all his movies and you cannot help but smile when he does as his smile is contagious 😄
Love the passion he has for his craft. You can clearly see it in how he remembers every single detail of the things he’s done
The guy is as interesting and odd as he is in most of his roles. He's pretty much never playing a character when he plays and eccentric, awkward but lovable odd man. What a legend, he just seems like a guy with very interesting views and tastes but not in a pretentious way, in a genuine way. He seems like he is always himself no matter what, which is a bit of an odd personality but that's probably why he plays odd personalities so well and memorably.
I actually really liked this interview I felt like he was just being himself and wasn’t trying to be fake or funny
I would love if Nick Cage played Captain Nemo. Someone please make this happen
In the MCU
Finding captain nemo
real great seeing nick all serious but as the interview goes on he gets more relaxed and jokes about stuff. is nice to see someone as seasoned as Nick still has his feet on the ground.
Nic gives a vibe of a calm/cool uncle. He always does his best to act in different kind of roles, even until today! He's one of the best 😎
I love that Nic Cage is having a career renaissance as of late. Really loved Color Out of Space he did in 2019.
My favorites: Lord of War, Matchstick Men, Face Off, Weather Man, Captain Corelli's Mandolin.
@@paul1780 I guess you never saw Leaving Las Vegas which is hands-down the greatest Cage film of all time. And there's "Mandy" of course.
Its on my watchlist, along with Prisoners of the Ghostland. You should watch Willy's Wonderland, it is so effing good, and he doesn't speak once in it.
@Metal Head 🗣️ You said Leaving Las Vegas and Pig wrong.
@Metal Head 🗣️ Those are good but my favorite are Raising Arizona & The Rock.
What a great Actor. I've enjoyed every performance he's given. Not every movie has had a great storyline but whatever he appears in, you know his acting is always going to be top shelf. Thanks for what you do!
Nic Cage rules so hard. Love the way he answered all these. It’s like Keanu Reeves and him and Levarr Burton are the coolest dudes in that realm.
Dang, he’s really fantastic at interviews! I feel like he would absolutely crush a Hot Ones episode. Manifesting that ✨✨
I was just thinking the same thing!
It's botox lol
He was on Jimmy Kimmel last night. Amazing interview. I will manifest the Hot Ones episode with you 🧘🏻♂️🔮
manifesting as well with you

Hello
OMFG
I want to see Nicolas Cage as Captain Nemo. My life would be completed.
One of the few authentic people who act. Anyone who makes art and defers to the viewer for meaning is a true artist. Anyone who goes out of their way to succeed or fail on their own terms has my respect. 👍🏻
I love how the further on in the video it goes the quicker he gets as he wants this whole thing to be over
Over
@@matsf8268 thanks
I have no idea what you just said
Haven't we argued or just talked in Vaush's comment section? Haha
Fancy meeting you here.
Guess he is tired of asking a wikipedia
I love how genuine he is. As crazy as some of his roles make him seem, he's a very down to earth, modest guy with a buttload of talent.
Nicholas Cage is a national treasure
*Nicolas
I see what you did there.
He also was in National treasure
This dude actually gave us answers!
And he is so chill.
So cool to watch him outside any role
Cage is just so intensely genuine, I never thought a fun interview like this would make me uncomfortable.
I grew up reading Marvel comics in the 60s and 70s. I think it's so cool he named himself after Luke Cage.
Love this guy, you can tell he's genuine!
