Nicolas Cage Still Gets Leading Roles?

Filed under: Nicolas Cage

wenn52605443.jpg

You don't have to be good looking anymore to land a leading role in Hollywood!

Just take a look at Nicolas Cage. The veteran actor has his latest flick, Knowing, hitting theaters this Friday.

Ah, the wonders of makeup and wigs!

The 45-year-old is starring in the sci-fi movie set to battle Mother Nature. The movie deals with Cage who plays an astrophysics professor and single dad who manages to decode a message that can predict major disasters.

This means it's all up to Cage to warn the whole world about it. You know, cuz he's the hero and all.

And, surprisingly, Cage also has a few other movies in the making. His next flick to be released will be Kick-Ass in which he plays a comic book hero.

He also has The Sorcerer's Apprentice which is set to be released in 2010 where he plays, what else, but a sorcerer. And he's said to be working on a few other projects as well.

What do U think, is his movie coming out this week even worth watching?

      I think he looks OK. He is all natural unlike most .



    2. 2

      Even Bruce Willis shaved down.. Take a good look at Nicolas.. he wouldn't look so bad shaved down or almost to the skin… he's a nice looking guy, just wonky hair!!!



    3. 3

      What the hell is this shit, Perez? This reeks of you having been paid to plug the film "Knowing."



    4. 4

      HE IS BETTER LOOKING THAN YOU PEREZ, YOUR MOM, YOUR SISTER AND TEDDY ALL TOGETHER!

      YOU BETTER ZIP IT UP RIGHT NOW TURD BURGLER!!! NIC CAGE IS THE SHIT!

      Nicholas Cage is an awesome actor Perez. And I'm disappointed that you think talent must be accompanied by youth and good looks. Thats just a shame that you think like that. Who gives a shit if he looks his age. So what you are saying is that we as humans aren't worth shit as actors once we start to look old. That is completely trite and superficial of you. I personally feel very bad for men who are losing their hair and don't give a damn if he is wearing a hair piece and neither should you.



    9. 9

      Looks interesting to me!!



    10. 10

      .
      .
      .Why the fuck wouldn't he? He's not a filthy, foul piece of shit like Mario is.
      .
      .



    11. 11

      Why would you think that just because you don't think he is good looking would mean that his movie would be bad?! that movie actually looks interesting!



    12. 12

      His a really good actor even if his old and I like his movies..unlike some people who get leading roles and don't know how to act!



    13. 13

      Unfortunately he hasn't made a good movie in a long time. It seems like he's sold out - something that Malario is very familiar with.



    14. 14

      Can't wait to see this movies, fat ass. Talk about the wanna-be-celebrity-jerk-off calling the well-known famous actor out!



    15. 15

      Jesus Mario, you'd better not EVER grow old!!!!!!!!!!
      Do you even bother to stop and look at a mirror anymore? You are NOTHING to look at Mr. Pig!!!
      Fucking asshole.



    16. 16

      I'm going to go see it on friday. the trailer looked really good.



    17. 17

      Jesus Christ, it's called ACTING!! Some people like to see that, not just pretty faces. Shallow!



    18. 18

      I like Nicholas Cage, what is your exact reason behind not liking him?



    19. 19

      Hey I dont care how old he looks this movie was awesome! I got to see a sneak preview of this and other than the last ten seconds it was worth the 2 1/2 hours



    20. 20

      Dang Perez, first Nick Carters girlfriend and now Nick Cage. Dude seriously Karma will bite your a$$. Stop being so negative. That's part of the reason you are single.



    21. 21

      Exactly. He is a VETERAN, that usually means he is GOOD.

      Better then that skank, Kristen Stewart!!



    22. 22

      Give me his money and I'll belt-sand my nuts and head. Team Cage.



    23. 23

      You don't have to be good looking to have a popular blog either.

      JK!!!!! xoxo



    24. 24

      he's a tooooool



    25. 25

      I've watched the trailer and he is not wearing a wig. LoL he looks like him. He would look better if he shaved his hair.



    26. 26

      Aw. You're picking on Nic Cage now? WTF?



    27. 27

      Nicolas looks great. He has the most amazing blue-gray eyes and perfect unlined skin. All he needs is a shave, because his gray beard clashes with his dark-brown hair. And his colorist needs to touch up his hair and make it more natural. He is only 45.
      He totally swept me off my feet in "Moonstruck". He was also great in "Con Air".



    28. 28

      is that one of those velcro wigs? looks like it



    29. 29

      whatever he's still hot!!!



    30. 30

      he would look hot bald or with short buzzed gray hair. his hair just looks nasty the way it is now



    31. 31

      I love him!



    32. 32

      **TexasBaby***What the fuckity fuck are you talking about? My dog could take 1 glance at this picture & see this guy has a REALLY bad surgeon…were you being sarcastic?

      33

      Re: aj – (#8) Totally agree. Shut up, P, you damn turd burglar!!!



    34. 34

      off course he is ……..he's a fine actor….he's never had an action movie bomb…………not all of us go to the movies with a wetwipe shithead



    35. 35

      stop being such an asshole, he is a cool guy and I will watch most of the movies he is in



    36. 36

      if your website is worth looking at then his movie is certainly worth seeing.

      you really want to make things about looks?



    37. 37

      I think he looks great I mean hell he got rid of the BLACK hair Perez you got to lay off calling people ugly you aint so good looking yourself quit being a PRICK



    38. 38

      He is rough, but did his PR people tell you to leak this? Nobody cares doodoo squat about him. Is he still married to the sushi waitress? That's the truth I want to know. There's something fishy-wishy about this Mr. Plaintains Fried in Lies!

      Oh Nicky honey EMBRACE your age and Bruce Willis that head of yours already!! I can see the old man within. Take a chance you might just look good older and distinguished.



    41. 41

      No good! He is too old, but who would say no to money? The movie looks a lot like the treasures movie he did. Won't be watching!

    42. Jekka says – reply to this


      42

      I don't know, I've always personally thought he was hot. Maybe it's the rolls he has played or something, he just has a massive sexual appeal going for him.



    43. 43

      You don't think Nic Cage is good looking? hmmm…..uh, could the fact that he's an OSCAR winner play into his getting roles? True, he's done a series of unbelievably shitty movies (Face/Off, Umbrella Man, whatevuh)….but the guy has chops, I love that Red River flick he did. is Jack Nicholson good looking? is Al Pacino good looking? Is Clint Eastwood (ick!)……



    44. 44

      i think the movie looks good. i'll probably check it out.



    45. 45

      This man has more talent, class, and good looks in his shit than you will ever have, Mario! Eat shit and die you worthless hack!



    46. 46

      i get worked up over him, no wait, i just pissed myself



    47. 47

      I´d rather watch 1 gazillion movies with Nicholas Cage than an trailer from a movie you are in, Mrs. Pretzel!

      and what is the matter with the age of 45? Is that a teen magazine or what?



    48. 48

      hE dESERVES LEADING rOLES if for nothing else THAN STICKING HIS CUJO into the same nasty slot as Michael Jackson?



    49. 49

      Why are you hating on Nicolas Cage Fat Boy? He is the bomb, whereas you are a no-talent smut hound with a large potato head (which is probably why you hate on Rumer Willis - to make yourself look better).



    50. 50

      his recent movies have sucked n hes getting to old to play the action hero



    51. 51

      Nic is the man. Of course he's still getting leading roles, duh!

      He may be getting older but he still looks fan-freaking-tastic.

      And he's a great actor! This really shouldn't be surprising to you.

      I cannot wait to see knowing, and if Nic Cage is in it, you know it's good.



    52. 52

      im excited to see it:)



    53. 53

      know1ng looks GOOD.



    54. 54

      I don't think he looks bad at all,but he should ditch the chinchilla resting atop his scalp. It doesn't enhance him at all; in fact,it's a distraction from his pretty eyes,and fairly decent skin. This movie seems to be in the " Treasures" vein-pure fluff,but entertaining enough where you likely won't be too ticked about what you paid to see it.



    55. 55

      i cant stand to look at his mug



    56. 56

      i don't know… he's how old and like starting to have a hint of a receding hairline? He's never been one to doll up, which is basically why you're making these comments. But how old you? Have you looked in the mirror today because you post your stuff everywhere acting like you're so gorgeous, but you also are kind of a barf status type of person. get over it. just tell the celebrity news. not your opinions. they suck.



    57. 57

      wait you have to be good looking to get a lead role? wow….so talent means absolutely nothing? oh rightrightright, look who i'm talking to. this is a guy who goes apeshit over anything draped in pink and glitter and ignores content and quality. carry on



    58. 58

      I love his eyes! Plus he is a very good actor. I will see the film.



    59. 59

      I don't care how good looking his is or not, he's got character and it shows through in his roles. Fuck good looks, talent matters.



    60. 60

      I would watch this movie for sure. Nicolas Cage is a really good actor and he is handsome in a quirky way. I especially love Valley Girl, Moonstruck, and what was the one where he thought he was a vampire? I probably won't go to the theater to see it though, I'll wait for it to show on PPV.



    61. 61

      im definitley going to see the knowing this weekend. looks good.



    62. 62

      he's such a mongoloid.



    63. 63

      ooowww…



    64. 64

      HE GETS A LOT OF CHOICE ROLES BECAUSE HIS NAME IS NOT REALLY NICOLAS CAGE…
      .
      ITS NICOLAS "COPPOLA"!!!
      .
      AND FOR THOSE OF US WHO SUFFERED THRU THE SCARLETT JOHANSEN PANTY SPORTIN WASTE OF 2 HOURS MOVIE THAT SOFIA COPPOLA *WINK* *WINK* "WON" *WINK* *WINK* AN OSCAR FOR AS BEST DIRECTOR… YOU JUST KNOW THEY'VE GOT CRAP UP THEIR SLEEVE!!



    65. 65

      HE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO FUG LOOKING…YUCK !!!



    66. 66

      It's not the 90's anymore. The 00's are almost over! At least some of his old movies hold up.



    67. 67

      That's his real hair. I hardly think 45 is ready for the Nursing Home. Of course to someone 16 that might appear to be ancient.



    68. 68

      He doesn't look that bad and he's a good actor, so why shouldn't he get any leading roles?



    69. 69

      Ragging on Cage twice in one day? Did he spurn your advances, Perez? Seriously, what's the grudge? Let it go.



    70. 70

      I'd say he keeps getting big parts because he has talent, unlike all the hacks you promote on here, granted I will give you props for apparently realising Katy Perry has the talent of a toothpick. There's also the fact that his movies make a ton too.



    71. 71

      Re: JustSayin – Great point. His movies making millions of dollars has nothing to do with why he gets all these parts. It's really because the American public wants to see a Coppola who's not a Coppola.



    72. 72

      He needs a better hairstylist. His hair looks like it was colored by Hershey!



    73. 73

      Nicholas should be Caged. He is one scary crazy sick MF-er.

      He's a weird ass has been. No wonder he had to get a wife who was too young to know better with Asian (desperate for a white) enough to take him.



    74. 74

      Nick Cage has something that you´ll never have Perez. Charisma!



    75. 75

      This movie looks like poo. Read my blog about Nic Cage and his hair at www.dangerbowie.com, for the pop culture addict in you.



    76. 76

      I think he's not aging badly, it's just that hair… It looks weird… But I agree with those that say he has charisma. And what's wrong with aging anyway? I would like to see what that Perez looks like in 10 years… Or 10 days… Or wait, no, I don't want to… I prefer a man like Cage than one that destroys his face like Mickey Rourke with all that surgery (imagine how attractive he would still be if he hadn't done that to his face).



    77. 77

      Will somebody, PLEASE, buy this guy some sideburns to go with that CHEAP hair. I cannot believe that in THIS DAY AND AGE and in Hollywood that this guy still gets movie roles looking like he does and that he hasn't got that hair problem under control. It is unbelievable to me. Gotta hand it to him and/or his agent: Movies he continues to make, whether horrible or almost pretty good.

      Never liked him, only for a brief moment in Face Off . His best role to date.

    79. @v@ says – reply to this


      79

      Nicholas Cage throws himself into his roles and is always believable. I sure like him a hell of a lot better than the bulk of pretty boys sporting leading roles. Character roles need someone who actually have character, and Cage does a pretty good job of turning any role into a character role.



    80. 80

      Nicholas Cage is an OK actor who will act in anything for cash; all of his films for the past few years have been crap!

      Perez, when you calculate his age, you should subtract a few years because that fake hair on his head is no more than ten years old.

      I have no idea if that's a weave, a rug, or plugs, but it is certainly unnatural and makes him look freakish.



    81. 81

      Nicholas Cage's movies, with the exception of the National Treasure ones, are huge losses at the box office (check it out on imdb). I think hes a mediocre actor at best thats been riding on the Coppola name for a little too long, why anyone would cast him in anything is beyond me…



    82. 82

      A man who actually looks his age in Hollywood….aside from the slightly off hair color, he looks fine. You have forgotten what real people look like Perez.



    83. 83

      LOVE HIM. LOVE HIS MOVIES!!



    84. 84

      perez,i think its great that nicholas cage is gonna land a lead role.i DONT THINK ITS REALLY FAIR TO SAY THAT HE DOESNT DESERVE A LEAD ROLE COS HE'S UGLY OR OLD OR WHATEVER.he's a good actor and thats the most important.and who says you dont have to be good looking to land a lead role or be famous?!HELLO,IF THATS REALLY THE CASE THEN THERE WOULDNT BE DISNEY 'STARS' around polluting the once talent-only HOLLYWOOD



    85. 85

      I find Nicolas Cage absolutely riveting on the big screen — his voice, his looks, his mannerisms, etc. I'll continue to watch all of his movies as long as he wants to keep making them. I mean, this actor doesn't have to keep working so hard to make a living if he doesn't want to. Nic could quit tomorrow and live like a king (even after paying everything the IRS wants him to).



    86. 86

      Re: outfcontrl – Excuse me, but I do believe he's gone out of his way to NOT use the Coppola name.



    87. 87

      I love him! His Twitter is so funny!

      www.twitter.com/CAGEosaurus

      It didn't show up when I did it before



    88. 88

      OMG!!! Why aren't my comments showing up??? I just wanted to say that I love Nic (la) Cage and wanted to tell people that I think his twitter is super funny!!
      @CAGEosaurus



    89. 89

      I can't believe that Nick Cage couldn't get better veneers on his teeth… those choppers are the most disturbing thing about his mug.

      nice hair, nick. NOT!! he cannot be serious with that hair color/hair plugs. ridiculous!!



    91. 91

      Nicholas Cage is always very watchable! Love his face, his acting and that voice. Love it, love it, love it.



    92. 92

      I love Nicolas Cage!!! He's a hottie! The only thing I think he should do is cut his hair short and stop coloring it. Oh and take the eyeliner off. He's manly and has the prettiest eyes! Oh and he's tall as hell. My brother saw him at Wrightsville Beach, NC a long time ago and said he was huge!



    93. 93

      You look great, Cage! Always nice to have back such a good actor!
