Nicolas Cage gave us a refreshingly wholesome look at his life and career in his upcoming film The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.
The conversation spanned from his reflections on the movies to his favorite insects and pasta shapes. Users shared their favorite answers and reflected on the actor's decades-long influence when Ask Me Anything went viral.
Some of the highlights can be found here.
He talked about his favorite projects, co-stars, and directors. Leaving Las Vegas and Bringing Out the Dead were his favorites. The current holder of the movie, Laura Dern, was described by Cage as an essential part of their film Wild at Heart. He is eager to work with directors. Spike Lee, Christopher Nolan, Ari Aster, Robert Eggers, and others. Imagine the possibilities.
The actor and users on the thread praised Cage for his recent film Pig, which the actor said was one of his favorite films of all time. It is one of my favorite movies, and it is probably my best work.
Cage said he would be down for Face/Off 2, needed to ponder the artistic direction of a possible Ghost Rider reboot, and spoke about the new Disney Plus National Treasure TV show, but he wasn't interested in joining the project once it shifted to the television format.
The personal and the strange are what the site came at. He was asked if he thought bees were his favorite insect. They make us happy. The firefly and the bees. ants are interesting. The bees are cute. Don't get me started on praying the praying mantis. He does not have any Elvis paraphernalia.
One user pondered Cage's favorite pasta shape. The star told a long story about visiting an Italian restaurant with Charlie Sheen to find pasta.
Cage told fans his hobbies were reading, watching cinema, and exercising.
Cage was willing to answer fans' questions with what appeared to be a great deal of thought and care. When asked which of his movie quotes he hates to hear thrown at him, Cage responded simply, "I don't have a problem with any of the quotes."
He responded in a similar way to a question about the difference between a meme and a gag. I don't look at anything anymore as a "diss" because a gag is somewhere in the realm of a diss. I see it as a recognition of something.
I would like to play Jules Verne's Captain Nemo because of the character's love of the ocean, says Nicolas Cage.
The movies Cage can watch indefinitely?
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent will be in theaters on April 15.
