Nicolas Cage Replies to Fans on the Internet | Actually Me | GQ

his vibe of "you paid me just enough to do this but not enough to pretend I enjoy it" is incredible

[Blendercage]

This dude. I met him in an Airport once. He was standing right beside me and I said, “You look like Nicholas Cage.” And like an actor, this guy stared me right in the eyes and with a raspy, collected, manly voice, he just said “I am Nick Cage” and blew past me.

I like him right away.

[definitionsupervillain]

He’s that teacher in school who always sounds bored and been around for centuries but is actually pretty funny and nice.

[ExileOfSand]

He has the perfect blend of seriousness and sarcasm with a hint of I'm holding back not going crazy, and it is pure gold. What a gem

[bigfatpandalaktana]

I love how he's absolutely unphased by anything. A real "yeah? ok." kinda guy.

[seabassmcbigfat]

“What am I going to do, it’s out there.” Is the most Nicolas Cage answer I could’ve hoped for.

[elf]

I love how straight up he is, without being rude at all. Chill personality.

[JeremiahEcks]

"Would it matter how much time I appeared as the character? There might still be a chance."

Oh Nicholas. You already knew what we didn't. ❤

[HankJr.]

It really is a privilege to be able to see this. This is really the first time we’ve gotten to see him sit down and answer questions and let the world finally see just Nic Cage. He’s had interview and stuff like that but nothing like this, he has no social media so this truly is a rare look at him.

[imanassole]

This man has precisely, zero, f***s to give about the internet. I admire this. We should all stop caring so much.

[crazymanwithaplunger]

"what am i gonna do about it? It's there" is just the absolute best response to that question and is the attitude every celeb/public figure needs to have. If you're gonna be in the public eye just accept it and move on. This was amazing.

[theknave]

"Face-Off" with Cage and Travolta was one of the most fascinating movies I've ever watched. Both actors were at the top of their game.

[JAHRONMON]

It feels like Cage had a limit to how much internet he could use or the devil himself would come collect.

[joyeful]

He clearly hates doing this and it makes this even more awesome to watch

[Kackpuh]

He seems weirdly down-to-earth while also just barely being able to hide that he is batshit insane. And he just doesn't care.

[fdrstan]

I dig the guy and his acting, always have. He does his own thing, doesn’t care what’s trendy or “cool” at any given moment in time.

[matze]

"What am I gonna do about it, it's there"
Nick Cage explained the internet.

[Incogk]

I'm just so happy that Cage was able to pay off all of his debts recently. That means that he can finally be picky about his roles again (he even said so himself in an interview). Peak Nicholas Cage is about to make a comeback, and I'm so ready.

[DougKaplan]

I love how aware he is of how the world sees him and he's totally ok with it. This is why celebrities like him can continue with this much longevity. He's an easy guy to root for.

[LukeTRandall]

This man is definitely a misunderstood human being, I imagine it would be challenging to have lived his life, it’s so unique and beautiful how true to himself he is and always has been.
