Fifty Reasons to love Nicolas Cage
Permalink  
 


In honour of Nic's fiftieth birthday, which is a very momentous occasion, I thought perhaps we could make our own 'fifty' list, along the lines of the 'Time' piece I just posted. Instead of just facts though, it would be fun to post our own favourite things about Nic. We can use videos, pictures, quotes, etc. to illustrate if we like, or just say it.  After all, as Nic super fans we have many reasons to love him. We can just keep posting till we reach 50. I'll start!

1. He can convey so much without saying a word.

Excellent Enzo, just what I was hoping for! All so true! I hope others will join in, or I am going to be working hard when I get off work tonight, lol!

 

6. He's a Shaman

...'And then now like in the last ten years, I don't really think about it any more, it just is. I don't really have any method. I could probably say what I am about to say here more than anywhere else in the country, I call my new style of acting 'Nouveau Shamanic'.

You're welcome Lady T biggrin I'll try to help you.

7. Caring and understanding 

"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 Fudgesicle in front of my bed,"

Cage said the ordeal ended after he talked the man out of the house and police arrived. He did not press charges.

I'm pretty sure if it was any other person who saw a man do this they would do all sorts to get him in trouble and try to get compensation (like they need it) but Nicolas Cage handled it like the gentleman he is. 
Good man stars

8. Puts his family first

Nicolas Cage was offered roles for some of the biggest franchises of all time that include 'Lord of the Rings' and 'The Matrix' but turned them down due to family commitments. 

(Bet he regrets it a little sometimes wink)

9. Inspirational/Life changing

I've already mentioned this here before so I won't repeat myself
But the day I saw Leaving Las Vegas I was a different person and my life had changed
I owe many thanks to Nicolas Cage and it is my dream to meet him and thank him
He's also helped others, I read reviews for The Family Man and City of Angels which indicate they were inspired
Someone has to be very special to do this and that man is Nicolas Cage

10. Diverse character actor

I know I already said he was talented but Nicolas Cage can dip into any genre and fit perfectly into any role. 
Not a fan of action? Why not check out some of his romance films. Comedy not your thing? Check out some of his thrillers! 

One of the many reasons why being a Nicolas Cage fan is so amazing! He's never done the same thing twice and he has something for everyone! biggrin

So true, Enzo.

I think of World Trade Center also for an example of inspiring. Donating his salary and then giving such a truly moving and heartfelt performance, that says so much.

 

11. He walks to the beat of his own drum. He chooses his roles and lives his life on his terms, and doesn't seem to really give a hoot if people criticize or make fun of him. He is true to himself. I have always admired people who don't follow the crowd and can be their own person, follow their dream; I think that is one of the reasons Nic appeals to me so much.

12. His co-workers and media pople who interview him all seem to have such positive things to say about him. About his work ethic, what a supportive person he is,  and how pleasant he is to be with, those are very telling things. If I am going to admire someoe I want them to be a nice person!

Hi Lady Trueheart and Enzo. Wow, I love that video you put together of Nick not saying a word. How TRUE of a actor he is for showing his side of silence. Not many performers can do that with a lot of emotion in just the look and his wonderful face. He's great to look at anyway. I love all that was said here about his fifty reasons why we love Nicolas Cage! Everything here is true to his word and all so much more. He's a true actor with great love for life and every one. He is his true person as well. No one can do the things he can and don't care about critics and other bad stuff out there about him at all. That is why I'm a hugh fan of his and no other actor Today can come up to him at all in my book. You can enjoy him so much due to the fact he does so much different kind of roles. That can be enjoy by many. He's one of a Kind!

Hello everyone biggrin such nice words that everyone has and number 11 was one I was going to do but I have been ill!

Number 14. Still a nice normal person

You hear stories of all these Hollywood stars going off the deep end with drugs or sex scandals and things of that nature 
But with Nicolas Cage it seems to be the opposite, when he was younger, he said he was wild, untamable and hard to work with
But now he's a very calm humble man who likes the smaller things in life and is very different to the usual Hollywood star
He works because he wants to and does what he likes, not what people expect, like 11.
Like 12. he is a very supportive man who cares about others and puts everyone before himself.

Hi Nancy, I should be so lucky as to be able to make a video like that one! It is quite a well-known one that we have posted here before by a talented person named Adam Lucas. I love it too. 

So true about his smile, Caesar, it is a most compelling smile that makes me swoon on occasion!

Yes, to all listed here. About his smile, lips, eyes, body, we can go on and on why we love Nicolas Cage.
He's one true actor with a personality. Not many out there can compete with that at all. No wonder he has many fans loving him. Like all here. Wow!

16. Trusted enough to portray real life people

To me, if Hollywoods directors trust an actor enough to convey the emotions and actions of a real person they must have a lot of faith in them.
Nicolas Cage has portrayed more than one real life person and this speaks volumes, more than any award ever could. 
Starting all the way back in 1986 all the way to 2013.
Nicolas Cage continues to prove why he is one of the best in the business. You rock!
