    I honestly cant tell if Nick Cage doesnt know that people love him haha. Everyone jokes about him doing so many films, but he is also one of the best actors there is.

      What bothers him is people on the internet “loving” him ironically. I mean just his subreddit is called r/onetruegod. I have also seen a lot of his “fans” dislike the movies, where he tries a different approach, such as Willy’s Wonderland and Pig. The trend has been changing lately, but for quite a while a very vocal part of his “fandom” just enjoyed laughing at his “freakouts”. Many actors transform into a character, while Nicolas Cage tries to put his own expertise and being into the characters. And when you put yourself out there (as he put it “be emotionally naked”) and people just go “haha funny scream” it can be extremely hurtful.
      You can clearly see the difference between his GQ appearances. In the “Nicolas Cage Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters” he is full of life and passion, but in “Nicolas Cage Replies to Fans on the Internet” he seems bummed out. That’s why he stresses he is playing “a different version of Nic Cage” in this movie - the director wanted him to play a more “Cagey” Nic Cage, more in line with the meme rather than who he feels he really is.

      @@markpodlinsek9697 Honestly, Nick just isn't going to get it. He's out of touch. He wouldn't know how to joke around with them. And I'm not saying it like it's a bad thing. He's from a different generation and clearly doesn't understand these fans and this kind of 'internet culture'. Some people can understand it. Look at old William Shatner for example, but Nick doesn't have the personality for it.
