I’m kind of fascinated with Nicolas Cage. He continues to star in ridiculous action movies, and his looks are surely fading/faded, but there’s something compelling about him. Maybe it’s the fact that he’s wacky and seems like he would be fun to hang out with, until a few hours into it when you realize how crazy and borderline unhinged he really is. So here we have Nic posing in Paris at the Musee Grevin next to what has to be one of the ugliest wax statues I’ve ever seen. It’s not that it’s a technically inept wax statue, like these likenesses of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez that don’t look like real people. The issue is that the statue looks like a very ugly, old version of Cage. Granted Cage’s looks have faded, but he’s not this bad looking. The guy had to see this statue and think “Do people really think I look like this?” but he sucked it up, smiled and posed happily next to a very ugly version of himself. It’s like they took the worst features of Cage and magnified them: big ears, receding hairline, jowls. Poor Cage.

In related Nic Cage news, he’s promoting that Ghost Rider sequel that’s out in the US on February 17th. As part of promotion for the film, he did an in-office Q&A with fans at Empire Online. This really endeared me to him, and he didn’t disappoint. Here’s some of his interview, with more at the source:

Quentin_Cappucino says: Hi Nic, huge fan. Is it true that you camped in a haunted forest while making Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance? If so, that is ridiculously cool!
I went to the Bermuda Triangle of forests, known as the Hoia-Baciu Forest, and I went for a drive through the forest and saw a man who was just walking amongst the trees, and I asked him a question, I rolled down the window and said, “Do you live here?” He said yes. I said, “Is this forest haunted?” He didn’t answer for about a minute, he just looked at me and said, “Yes”. I said, “By what?” and he said, “Have you seen the floating people with no legs?” I said, “Not yet, but I hope to real soon.” Then I asked him if it was OK for me to take a fallen branch, so I grabbed a branch that was about six feet in length and four inches wide, and I took it home to my little cottage in England and I chipped away at it and varnished it and made a nice staff out of it. I’m probably the only person in Glastonbury with a Hoia-Baciu staff.

[From Empire Online]

You get the impression that he really believes that there are legless ghosts floating around this forest, when in reality the dude who lived there was probably just messing with him. I bet the guy tells that story to all the tourists. Plus it’s like he thinks he’s special for having a staff made from a random branch there. No wonder he blew all his money collecting weird sh*t and buying up castles.

Look at Cage standing in front of his wax figure instead of embracing it like so many other celebrities do. It’s like he wants us to realize he looks nothing like that.

I feel kind of untethered without Kaiser here to lighten the mood. I miss her and hope she’s feeling better tomorrow. So here we have Nicolas Cage, who is making yet another POS fantasy action film to make ends meet after blowing all his money on castles, exotic pets, antivenom, shrunken heads, Gatsby-style parties and every single luxury car available to man. (Pretty much and all of that is accurate.)

Cage is in Berlin promoting Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, the sequel to the first Ghost Rider movie I don’t remember from 2007. It’s based on a comic book of the same name, and the trailer (below) makes it look like a video game, not a real movie. That’s what Cage does now, he stars in video game movies. This guy is 48 and he’s looking it in photos. He needs to pay a visit to Tom Cruise’s Brazilian surgeon. Aren’t there any other up and coming action heroes to take his place? Surely there’s a huge pool of available actors with lower salary demands, better looks and just as competent acting abilities. It seems like Hollywood is always giving up on women, but that men get to go on as long as they can show up and deliver some lines.

I don’t find Cage attractive at all, but when he was younger he wasn’t bad looking. He was actually hot in a kind of arrogant “I want to hate f#%* him” way.

Here’s Cage in 2001 and in 2000′s Gone in 60 Seconds. There are also two stills of him from 2001′s Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, with Penelope Cruz. I didn’t see that movie, but his bad accent is painful in the trailer. I had to look it up to figure out that he’s supposed to be Italian. Does anyone buy him as a romantic lead? That’s probably why he settled into these goofy action movies.

Here’s the trailer for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, which is out in the US on February 12. Idris Elba is in it, which is one redeeming factor. The first one did $115 million in domestic box office alone, which is why we’re being subjected to another one. I have to say Cage looks good on screen though. He’s got that deep voice going for him too.

Before jumping into this story, I just want to make it clear that home invasion is not a laughing matter. Luckily, I haven’t ever lived through it, although my old apartment was once robbed while I was away at law school classes for the day. It happened in a bad neighborhood where lots of homes were broken into during a relatively short period of time, and the two guys (who were later arrested while trying to cash one of my blank checks) tore the place up while (presumably) looking for valuables, drugs, or weapons. The entire thing was horrifying for me simply by virtue of them being in my space, so I can’t even imagine what it’s like to be at home when someone makes their uninvited entrance.

While promoting Trespass at TIFF, however, Nicolas Cage, has revealed that he experienced a home invasion of his own a few years ago. Somehow, Nic’s story is really weird though, and I have to resist the urge to stifle a giggle because of the details. Apparently, Nic woke up in the middle of the night to see a naked guy standing in his bedroom while holding a Fudgsicle. It’s almost like because it’s Nic Cage, the story has to be the most bizarre thing one can imagine, right? In fact, the only reason I’m certain that this guy wasn’t just his crazy son, Weston, showing up to say hello to dear old dad is because no roundhouse kicks were mentioned in the story. I know, I’m a jerk. Really, this is something that no one would never want to live through:

For actor Nicolas Cage, making the new thriller movie Trespass hit close to home.

Cage, at the Toronto film festival along with director Joel Schumacher promoting the film about a home invasion, said that he has actually lived through the nightmare in real life.

“It was two in the morning. I was living in Orange County at the time and was asleep with my wife. My two-year old at the time was in another room. I opened my eyes and there was a naked man wearing my leather jacket eating a Fudgsicle in front of my bed,” he told reporters on Wednesday.

“I know it sounds funny … but it was horrifying.”

A Fudgsicle is a frozen, ice cream-like snack.

Cage said the ordeal ended after he talked the man out of the house and police arrived. He did not press charges, as the man had mental problems, but Cage, who now lives in Nassau, Bahamas, said he could not stay in the house after that.

In Trespass, which is scheduled for release in October, thieves con their way into the opulent mansion where Cage’s character lives with his unhappy wife (played by Nicole Kidman) and their daughter.

The family is held for ransom and the movie follows a path of twists and turns as negotiations with the intruders ensue.

Schumacher, who earlier cast Cage in his film 8MM, and Kidman in Batman Forever, said Trespass is also about extremes between the rich and the poor in America.

“It’s a class warfare movie too, about the haves and the have-nots.”

The diamond-dealing Cage character and one of the invaders are two versions of the same man, in that they have both “overreached to have their share of what used to be called The American Dream,” Schumacher said.

[From Reuters]

Cage is actually fortunate in a sense — if you have to experience a home invasion, it’s inarguably preferable to experience the mentally-ill, “Fudgsicle” variety rather than a sociopath with a gun. Of course, one ideally never has to experience either of these scenarios, but I’d be willing to be that Nic has not eaten nor stored a Fudgsicle in his house since this incident took place.

As for Trespass, the trailer and poster for the movie pretty much rule out watchability, and it’s also discouraging that Schumacher (he of the ubiquitous bat nipples) felt the need to point out the film’s political message. Yes, suspenseful and horrific movies often go the sociopolitical route, but that’s supposed to be a more subtle aspect that one reflects upon after watching a movie as opposed to what pulls people into the theater. I think the best home invasion movie that I’ve seen lately was The Strangers, and it nearly made me pee my pants in the theater, which is a good thing in a sense, unlike the impression given by the promotional material for Traspass. I’m not even sure why they’ve bothered to screen the film at TIFF either when it’s only scheduled for a two-week run in theaters, which will be followed by an immediate DVD release.

Also, here’s a photo of Nic, his wife Alice Kim, and son Kal-El in London on July 11 of this year. Although Star claimed that Nic and Alice were headed for divorce and he was already trolling for strange, I guess they decided to stay together?

A few weeks ago, I used this poster for the new Nicole Kidman-Nicolas Cage movie, Trespass, for the lead link. I couldn’t get over what the studio did to poor Nicole’s face, while most of you were downright frightened by Cage, not Kidman. Anyway, Trespass has a brand new trailer, and woo doggie, is it a work of art. Sorry, I meant “a work of fart.” This film will go down as The Epic Battle Of Nic & Nic: Wiglet v. Rubber Lips. I don’t know where to look – it’s like my eyes have no place to settle. Do I stare uncomfortably at Cage’s crazy wiglet and his wild over-acting, or do I watch Kidman’s magically inflating and deflating rubber lips and her breathy “sexy-dramatic” acting?

Okay, I know the Kidman-loonies are going to yell at me, but I think Nicole is WORSE than Cage here. As actors, both of them had potential at one point. Hell, both of them were primed to be the best actors of their generation at one point. But Cage fell to earth and these kinds of dumb movies are basically all he does nowadays. He knows how to “act” in them. Meanwhile, Kidman was hoping for a new career track and THIS is what she gets? Trying to contort her frozen BotoxFace into something resembling fear, and she just ends up looking… odd. Constipated? Confused? Like she’s thinking, “Why did my agent think was a good idea again?”

As for the plot… er… it’s derivative of about a dozen different movies. Like, Firewall, Dead Calm, Hostage, Panic Room, and assorted B-rated also-rans.

Funny story: this film will be released in theaters on October 14. It comes to DVD two weeks later! *headdesk*

It certainly feels like we’re not getting enough insanity from celebrities lately, but (fortunately?) Nicolas Cage’s goth rockin’ son Weston has stepped up to the plate with a full helping of crazy. People provided the initial report that Weston entered into an altercation yesterday afternoon with “an unidentified person” that resulted in minor injuries and his subsequent hospitalization at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Then, TMZ stepped up to fill in some of the blanks, including the identity of the other party. Apparently, Weston was enjoying a late lunch with his physical trainer, who made the grave mistake of advising his client not to eat something on a restaurant menu. Naturally, the frustrated (and probably drugged up) young man proceeded to go all kung fu, which has resulted not only in his hospitalization but also a full mental evaluation and probable 5150:

Nic Cage’s son, Weston Cage, has been taken to the hospital by ambulance for a mental evaluation and possible 5150 psychiatric hold, sources tell TMZ.

Sources tell TMZ … Weston was at The Farmer’s Kitchen in Hollywood at around 4:00 today, when his trainer told him he couldn’t eat something on the menu. For some reason, we’re told Weston went off and started pushing the trainer in a violent way, at one point trying to roundhouse [kick] the trainer.

The trainer took Weston down, and someone else tried calming Nic’s son down, to no avail. Weston got up and continued freaking out.

Cops showed up and told Weston if he didn’t get on the ground they would tase him. Weston then complied. Cops put Weston in handcuffs but they were so worried he was unstable they strapped him to a gurney.

It’s unclear if Weston was under the influence of drugs or alcohol but people who work at the restaurant say he appeared to be under the influence of something.

Weston was taken to a local hospital where he is being evaluated.

One source says Weston got into a nuclear argument with his new wife, Nikki, this morning and she stormed out of their house.

UPDATE: Sources close to the Cage family tell TMZ Nic has arrived at the hospital. We’re told Nic has cleared his schedule and plans to stay in town as long as Weston needs him to be here.

[From TMZ]

Okay, I really shouldn’t say this, but that trainer wasn’t Tracy Anderson, right? Not that anyone deserves to be pushed and kicked for any reason at all, but her diet restrictions could send a normal person right off the edge in a ketosis-induced rage. However, it truly sounds like Weston might be under the influence of drugs or has just succombed to the Cage-brand of insanity.

Now and just as a cursory example of how Weston doesn’t fall too far from the crazy tree, let’s refresh our memories of just how much batsh*t crazy his father can summon on demand in this (very NSFW) video reel of Nicolas losing his sh*t for four full minutes. And I don’t believe for a moment that those performances are bred from pure talent either, for Nicolas himself is a famously drunk dumbass who recently dropped his own kid while he was totally hammered. So yeah, no question of paternity here, for Weston is totally his father’s son.

The story is kind of obvious, but I found it interesting anyway. According to Star Magazine, Nicolas Cage’s marriage to Alice Kim is in shambles. This comes less than two months after his drunken rage in New Orleans, in which he ended up being arrested for public intoxication (repeat: in NOLA, which is super-difficult) and domestic abuse. Those charges were later dropped, and Alice claims he didn’t abuse her, they were just fighting in the street or wherever. Oh, and Nic drunkenly dropped his kid too. I remember that. Anyway, Alice and Nic were married in 2004, when she was either 19 or 20 years old. They have a son, Kal-El (no joke). And it’s looking like Alice thinks seven years is more than enough time spent with Nic’s shrunken-head-buying dumbass, and she wants out. Meanwhile, Nic’s partying at the Marmont like a Lohan. Hilarious (and sad, but mostly kind of funny).

When it comes to marriage, the third time is not a charm for Nicolas Cage. The twice-divorced actor appears on the verge of another split, this time from his wife of seven years, Alice Kim. After his arrest for domestic abuse following a drunken night in New Orleans, it looks like things are getting worse.

“Alice is sick of Nic’s extreme mood swings and violent temper tantrums,” says a source. “One moment he’s on top of the world, and the next he’s miserable to be around.”

Nic recently stayed at the celeb-friendly Chateau Marmont hotel in West Hollywood without Alice.

“Nic stayed at the Chateau for a week,” the insider tells Star. “he looked terrible – like a guy whose world is crashing down on him. Plus, he was in a foul mood and acted incredibly rude to the staff.”

Nic, who has a 5-year-old son, Kal-El, with Alice, won’t face charges over the Louisiana incident, but his marriage is definitely at a crossroads.

Says the source: “If Nic can’t pull himself together, he’s going to find himself single again pretty soon.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

Nic’s always been such a strange bird, but at this point, I’m wondering if this kind of behavior overall adds up to an actual chemical imbalance or psychological problem. Like, I’ve always thought that Nic was weird and eccentric, but now I’m thinking “Bipolar”.

So… I wouldn’t be surprised if Alice pulls the plug (so to speak). Seven years plus one son must equal a decent settlement plus a lot of alimony and child support, right? Oh, wait – if he still bankrupt? I wish Alice good luck in trying to divide up their assets, like those shrunken heads, the dinosaur bones and albino king cobras. And I wish Nic good luck in his continued trolling of the area high schools.

Before we get all LINNOCENT CODE RED about this Nicolas Cage situation, I should state that I don’t really understand Radar’s report. I mean, I understand why they’re making it into some kind of tabloid-y thing, but I don’t understand they’re explanation of what went down. Okay, let’s start at the beginning: so you know how Nicolas Cage was a drunken, belligerent idiot in New Orleans a few weeks ago, and how he was arrested for domestic abuse and disturbing the peace? Most people (including Nicolas’s wife Alice) say that the whole thing was just about Nic being too drunk to know where his rental was, and the “domestic abuse” was Nic grabbing Alice’s arm to lead the way to where he thought they were living. Well, anyway, the story gets worse. It turns out that Nic and Alice’s son Kal-El (for real, that’s the kid’s name) was around during the incident…? And Nic drunkenly dropped the five-year-old? Maybe. Radar has a convoluted story about what went down.

Not only did Nicolas Cage not know where he lived last weekend during his drunken stupor in New Orleans, but according to the Incident Report obtained by RadarOnline, the actor dropped his son while he was intoxicated.

“At some point, Mr. Cage fell while holding their son. The fall caused the five (5) year old child to suffer a minor abrasion to his left knee, and she [Alice] then recovered the child,” the report reads, after stating the couple had been at dinner with some friends earlier in the evening where Nicolas had been drinking. Alice then drove them to a friend’s house and Nicolas went in to pick up their son.

Nicolas was arrested on April 16, 2011 in the Big Easy for Simple Battery (Domestic) after police were called to the 600 block of Dumaine Street by an unknown taxi driver. And aside from his wife, Alice Cage, telling officers that Nic dropped their son, Kal-El, another witness said he saw a similar incident.

“As Mr. Cage was being transported, Sergeant Smith was approached by Officer Wild who was still on scene, he informed Sergeant Smith that an unknown white male passer-by, who was walking a dog, stated that he observed Mr. Cage pull the male child to the ground by his hand,” the incident report reads.

“Based upon this information, and Mrs. Cage’s earlier statement, a child abuse detective was notified.”

The child abuse detective determined that no further investigation was merited, but noted that a representative of Child Protective Service may be contacted and an investigation launched.

A photograph was taken of the child’s injury but Alice declined to let Sergeant Smith interview him, and she also declined to write a handwritten statement of the incident.

“He was yelling, ‘Get the police! Get me outta here! She’s trying to kill me!’” the report said of Nic’s state during the incident. “The male [Nicolas] appeared heavily intoxicated, displayed slurred/loud speech and was belligerent.”

Officers on the scene attempted to calm down Nicolas for nearly 30 minutes in order to advise him of his rights.

According to the report, officers finally made the decision to arrest him based on his manic state, his level of intoxication and the victim and witness statements.

“Alice Cage reported that she and her current live-in husband, Nicolas Cage, were involved in a verbal altercation…grabbed her by the upper right arm and pulled her to what he believed was the correct location. She suffered no visible injuries,” the report said.

“Alice Cage stated her husband was not attempting to injure her, but instead he was attempting to get her to follow him.”

Nic has since returned to the set of his new movie, Medallion, and attended his older son, Weston’s, wedding on Sunday.

[From Radar]

So… I’ve read this thing like five times and I still don’t get it. What does “he observed Mr. Cage pull the male child to the ground by his hand” mean? That Nic began to fall and as he was drunkenly trying to correct himself, he used his five year old as a makeshift banister to steady himself? Or does it mean that Nic was on the ground and he grabbed Kal-El and pulled him to the ground just to be a mean, abusive drunk? Eh… I really don’t have any idea. But if Nic was as drunk as everyone is claiming, my guess is that this whole “dropped the kid” thing was an accident…? I’m not trying to defend Nicolas, I’m really not, I just don’t think this constitutes “child abuse.” Maybe it does, though. My radar is off for this kind of thing, considering my mom accidentally kicked me down the stairs when I was a baby (true story).

As we heard over the weekend, Nicolas Cage was arrested for generally being a drunken dumbass early Saturday morning in New Orleans. He was so drunk he didn’t know where he lived, and instead of listening to his wife tell him that he’d picked the wrong rental house, he argued with her and dared some cops who were called to the scene to arrest him. They charged him with domestic violence (for allegedly grabbing his wife by the arm) and disturbing the peace and took him into custody. Cage wasn’t in with the general population and was just kind of hanging out there at the station. He was eventually bailed out by Dog The Bounty Hunter, who issued a statement showing his pride at having such a famous client without revealing much about Cage’s state of mind or how blotto he was. Cage was surely sobered up at that point anyway, Dog’s wife Beth tweeted that their latest client had been in “jail” for 8 hours, as if that’s not typical in New Orleans. It’s probably not typical for their clients to get to hang out behind the counter with the police officers, either.

Nicolas Cage received the help of an unlikely ally after his arrest in New Orleans this weekend – Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Reality star Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman posted the actor’s $11,000 bond after he was charged with domestic abuse and disturbing the peace Saturday in the French Quarter.

“I am a truly dedicated fan of Mr. Cage and will not be granting any interviews about my client as I wish to respect his privacy,” Chapman, 58, tells E! News in a statement.

“I performed my duties as a bail bondsman and not in connection with our show. This is what I do for a living. There are two sides of my job: I release my clients after they have been arrested; and pick them up if they don’t show up in court. I do not believe the latter will be the case for Mr. Cage.”

[From People]

At some point before taking a cab to a house he mistakenly believed he was staying at, Cage, his wife and some buddies went into a tattoo parlor. TMZ reported that Cage was “throwing his clothes around” there and “demanding” to get a tattoo. They’ve since posted the surveillance video without audio and you can see Cage’s wife pleading with him (probably to go home). He keeps arguing with her and at some point they seem to make up because she goes upstairs with him, presumably while he gets a tattoo.

You can see Cage’s “mug shot” on TMZ and Radar. It looks like a cell phone pic and they didn’t even make him stand up against a white walll. Cage is scheduled to appear in court on May 31 for these charges. He’s in New Orleans making his latest POS movie, The Medallion. Dude still has to pay for all those castles, exotic pets, dinosaur bones and luxury cars he blew all his money on.

Update: People has more on the night in question, and it paints a pretty vivid picture of just how much of a belligerent drunken out of control ass Cage was:

The couple were fighting over which house they were renting in the French Quarter, and Peter Bennett, a local street performer who lives near the property, tells PEOPLE he came home to two cop cars on each end of his block.

“Apparently he had mistaken the house of my neighbors for the other house up the block that he is actually renting,” he says. “His wife was trying to persuade him from disturbing the elderly couple who do in fact live in that house.”

Cage is actually renting the house three doors down, according to Bennett. When cops arrived, the barman says the actor started to get into the back passenger-side door of the police car.

“But the cop got out, walked around, and Cage ran a block south toward the river, where he tried to get into a cab,” he says. “There was a woman outside with a baby in her arms shouting, ‘Please don’t hurt us.’ ”

[From People]

You know you’re out of control when your wife is telling you you’ve got the wrong house and women with babies in their arms are pleading for their lives.

I used to think Nicolas Cage was kind of interesting, in a “He sold his soul to the Devil (Bruckheimer) but he’s still kind of damaged and hot” way. Then he got hair plugs and starting buying lots of bizarre stuff and he married a teenager. I still believe the dude is damaged, but his hotness is nil and what I thought was simply a bizarre “streak” is just his train wreck personality. I guess what I’m saying is that this news doesn’t surprise me: early this morning (Saturday), Nicolas was arrested in New Orleans. Nic and his wife Alice have a home in NOLA, but he was arrested on the street, somewhere in town. He was arrested for one count of domestic abuse and count of disturbing the peace. Do you know how completely off-your-head drunk you have to be to be arrested for disturbing the peace in New Orleans? Like, Nicolas must have been blitzed out of his mind. Here’s what went down:

Sources close to Nicolas Cage tell TMZ … Nic was arrested in New Orleans this morning after daring the police to arrest him following a loud argument with his wife.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … Nic was “very drunk” on the streets of N.O. when a cab driver saw him loudly arguing with his wife Alice.

We’re told the cabbie called the police and said in addition to the screaming and yelling … he saw Nic grab her.

We’re told the police came and told Nic and his wife to just go home. That’s when Nic allegedly told cops, “Why don’t you just arrest me?” The cops then reiterated that he and his wife should just go home. Cage then repeated his dare to cops.

At that point, police took Nic into custody and charged him with …domestic abuse and disturbing the peace.

Our sources say Nic is still in custody and a bail hearing will he held shortly.

We’re also told Nic’s wife is not a complaining witness and does not want him charged — and says there was no physical contact.

UPDATE 10:27 AM PT — A bond has been set at $11,000.

[From TMZ]

Yeah, it doesn’t really sound like he “beat” Alice, only that he grabbed her, perhaps with some force. I’m not saying it’s any better or worse, but it is different. I’m not a wife-beating apologist (I hope you guys know me by now enough to say that I am definitely not), but right now it just sounds like a pretty typical argument between two really drunk people. My guess is that the abuse charge will be dropped and Nic will end up just being charged with disturbing the peace or whatever.

UPDATE: People Magazine has more details about this story. According to the New Orleans police spokesperson, “Cage and his wife were standing in front of a residence that he insisted was the property the couple was renting. She disagreed, and Cage grabbed her by the upper arm and pulled her to what he believed was the correct address. There were no visible signs of injury on his wife’s arm. 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, immediately observed that Cage was heavily intoxicated and ordered him out of the cab, which prompted Cage to start yelling. The officers subsequently took Cage to Central Lock-up.” Another inmate who was in jail at the same time also tells People Mag that Nicolas was “drunk” but that the NOLA police officers didn’t keep him with the other inmates: “He wasn’t in a cell, he was behind the counter with all the other officers.” Meanwhile, TMZ reports an eyewitness account of Cage wandering into a tattoo parlor and “began throwing his clothes around, demanding to get inked up….Nic seemed quite intoxicated and asked employees to call the cops. When they asked why, Cage replied … he just didn’t remember where he lived.”

Nicolas Cage and his giant capped teeth and new “tousled-look” weave were on Good Morning America yesterday. First I have to point out the lady to the far left in this shot of “fans” shown on camera. (photo below.) She’s so thrilled to be there and she stands like that the whole time. (You can see her at around :25 in on the video above and here.)

Cage is promoting his role in Season of The Witch, yet another supernatural POS thriller that is sure to make a ton of bank for a dude who will blow through it like water.

Cage called playing a knight a “dream come true” and explained how he learned how to ride a horse for the role. Rob Ron Perlman (Of “Sons of Anarchy”) co-stars, and Cage agreed with Robin Roberts that it’s a “buddy movie” and says he had a great time with Perlman on set.

Cage alluded to his extreme money problems by sort-of blaming other people for them. He didn’t say anything outright, but you can tell that’s what he’s talking about.

Robin: It’s also about your character seeking redemption. Is there any way that you relate to that, anything that you’ve gone through in your life that helped you relate to that?

Cage: Oh yeah, everybody makes mistakes as far as being human. When we make mistakes I think sometimes it can be a great lesson because it puts you into looking for something.

Some people say you have to be a sinner before you can be a saint. And if you’re a good person you’re going to make mistakes because you trust people and some people will lead you in the wrong direction. But if you can learn from it, but I’ve had those experiences and it helped me.

They also covered Cage’s hair through the years, and he claimed he doesn’t wear a wig. (Here are photos of Cage not wearing a wig.)

“I see myself as subscribing to the Lon Chaney school… and I believe that historically… stage actors have always tried to transform themselves. I don’t wear a wig in my personal life or in my public life, but… I like the idea of giving the audience something else to make it eclectic.”

So weaves and hair plugs don’t count I suppose.

Lon Chaney was a silent movie actor called “the man of a thousand faces.”

My husband can’t stand Nicolas Cage, but I can tolerate him. He’s not my favorite actor by any means. How does he keep churning out these crap movies and making big bucks though? I really thought the guy would have seen his come uppance by now. It’s all everyone else’s fault that he lost money while owning mansions and castles, animals so exotic they required anti-venom, and throwing Gatsby-style parties. And he’s still starring in crap movies that people pay good money to see. He’s so full of sh*t. At least he doesn’t drive drunk or mistreat his wife I guess.

Here’s Cage at the premiere of Season of The Witch yesterday. (With dark hair) Credit: WENN.com. He’s shown at Comicon in July for comparison. (Light hair.) His hairline has naturally moved ahead an inch in six months. He’s using Ronco spray hair, isn’t he? That’s not a wig, right? He looked better before.
