It’s hard to remember what the world was like before the Nicolas Cage memes took over. What did the Internet do for entertainment? Was Cage just another famous actor, one who starred in a mix of good and not so good movies? Did he do meme-worthy themes, and were they just ignored? The Tumblr-loved version of the actor has been in our lives for so long that it feels like the only image of him that’s ever existed — and apparently, Cage himself is starting to feel the same way. In a new photo, the actor appears to have embraced his Internet-invented image, as Cage is seen wearing a T-shirt featuring a meme of his face. Oh, and he’s hanging out with a sideburns-clad Andrew Dice Clay and the members of Guns N’ Roses. It’s a weird photo.
Posted by the band on their Facebook page early Sunday morning, the photo shows Cage clad in a cowboy hat, Mardi Gras beads, and a shirt depicting a meme of his face — you know the one. He is also sporting gun holsters, cowboy pants, and a very large ring. He is also drinking a glass of wine, and holding what looks like a cane, or walking stick. Next to him is the actor Andrew Dice Clay, in far more appropriate rock concert gear, and showing off striking gray sideburns. Since Guns N’ Roses posted the photo, it can be assumed that members of the band were just out of view, unless Cage and Clay routinely hang out backstage at random concerts, which could totally be possible.
Take a moment to soak in the insanity of this photo, and to applaud Cage on finally embracing the image of himself that the rest of the world did years ago. If he can’t be “Oscar-winner Nicolas Cage” anymore, “Internet’s favorite meme-creator Nicolas Cage” is a pretty close second. He’s earned the title, and it’s about time he started being proud.
Well, he can wear anything! He looks yummy and great with that outfit! I like the hat, that he wore on a previous occasion, but I can`t recall the exact event! Looks awesome! Cheers, Nic! But, I hope, the cane is just decoration for the outfit, as I don`t hope, he did hurt himself! Thanks for posting this interesting article, Enzo!

I agree with you Lady Roxanne, I hope the cane is just for decoration also. My first thought when I saw this photo was I hope he is ok and not actually NEEDING the cane. But he does appear to be leaning on it. I am sure sure he is fine though. I love his outfit also. And the hat, the last time I saw that hat was when he was some kind of a car race in Australia when he was filming Ghost Rider. He and Alice had just announced they were pregnant.
I hope, you are right, and he is well, Royaltraveler! And, about the hat, I don`t recall anymore, where, but all I remember is, that he wore it to some kind of race, where he was announced to some important job for that event! Maybe, one of our other members knows more about that?^^
