- “Extra” spoke to Nicolas Cage at the L.A. premiere of his new horror thriller film “Longlegs.” He talked about how excited he was about his major transformation, which he found very liberating. Cage also spoke about how his mother unexpectedly was an inspiration and hearing her voice in his head. Plus, he dished on unwinding after heavy days on set by FaceTiming his wife. “Longlegs” is out July 12.
Nic Cage was the national treasure all along
Been saying it for years! But actually I loved Willy’s Wonderland from a few years ago. That character is “badass” in my idea of the word.
😂😂😂😂😂
I love him 😭
Cuckoo,
just look at him, at how he behaves, how he listens to the reporter questions, how he enjoys answering them, the attention he shows, the respect, the openess, the smile and kind, warm attitude., how he loves, what he's doing as a job. God I love this man so, so much!!!!
It’s been awesome having him back these recent years. Seems grounded and doing mostly cool projects. 🎉
Get a life
@@meddy1 why?
Awesome Nicolas cage
After I die, in the next life I want to come back as Nicholas Cage SO!!!
Nic sometimes gets it wrong but he always goes hard. Got to love his devotion to his craft.
Nic Cage doesn't get it wrong. The script gets Nic Cage wrong. He is never the reason a movie is bad. It's always the writing.
Nic is never wrong about anything. He is God.
He's a legend and one of my favorite actors of all time. I'd go as far to say that he's one of the best to ever do it.
He’s definitely got whatever it is that it takes………and that’s the darn truth ❤
@@Jeremy252 i guess your correct that he's a bizarre man and shouldn't be put in regular roles but he's definitely been guilty of overacting, particularly with his face 😂
He always signs up for the most random films. Some of them not bad, some of them not so good, and others are actually pretty good. He doesn't care whether a movie flops or succeeds. He's just trying to play a character and have fun. That's what I like about him
Very well said. I agree. He's fun to enjoy whether good or bad. Not many artists can say the same.
2 years ago in a Reddit AMA, when asked, "What genre of movies do you like best?" he replied, "Independently spirited dramas. And by independently spirited I mean the types of stories and characters that studios are too chicken to touch." I think THAT is his niche, something that feels unashamedly unique, perhaps to a fault, because of the exploration and diversity that you can obtain with something as personal as that, without having to bend the knee to studio politics & E for Everybody ratings. He seems to pick up the films he enjoys reading the most or finds the most challenging because that's where the red meat is for actors such as himself. The experience is what matters, and he knows the experience is why audiences are interested in cinema in the first place.
That's what I love about him he has range can't forget about the classic Mandy Nic Cage is a legend
Longlegs and Nosferatu are my most anticipated films of the year. I’m excited
Me too
I agree
saw it opening night last night and it was incredible, just don't go in expecting to be SCARED in like a the conjuring sorta way, it's more unsettling and disturbing but I loved it for that
So far 1 down. Was not disappointed by long legs very good film. Everyone saying it left them wanting more needs to watch it again. Coming back here once I watch Nosferatu.
@@braedoncarreno7444after I saw the trailer for longlegs I was expecting a very scary movie, but it ended being more of a crime movie like prisoners. Still enjoyed it though
He was terrifying in this! Honestly, what a job he did.
Yeah even after however movies he's been in he gave this one his best and it fucked me up too. One for the record book.
This is the only time I’ve ever felt my heart face in a horror movie. I was so immersed in it! So great job.
Nic Cage can make a 90 mins toothpaste commercial and I'll still watch it with full price.
@@Racoon-Man check out Left Behind. Pretty much exactly what you’re looking for.
😂😂😂😂
One of the greatest actors of all time. Fight me.
Agreed. He gives it 110%
He goes balls deep
So true. Will always watch anything with him in it, he really gives it his all
hes so good and the most overhated actors in the industry. always found him to be one of the best
@@simplyemily8251LOL 😂
A true goat, everyone was laughing at him in the past and he’s proving everyone wrong.
When you’re down, depressed, ruined and broke, the system told the people to shoot and bury you… When that happens, and it will at least 2 times in your life, stay strong and fight. Stand! Work! Wait!
he wasn't using his full power Lol
Miles didn’t laugh. 😏
He is a very talented guy. He had to be flop movies in the past to pay for his IRS debt. Since he has paid his debt his IRS debt, then he can choose quality roles.
One of most under appreciated actors ever
He has an Oscar so not that much
Are you kidding me? 😂😂😂
it Nicolas cage bro wtf!?!?!
One of the worst 😂😂
Cage rules! No matter how good or bad the movie is, he works hard for his money.
The past year or two, Nic looks happier and healthier than he has in a long time. He's been doing so many wildly different projects (and killin' it in every one), he must be feeling satisfied.
God bless him, he deserves it for making so many people happy.
I will watch every movie he ever does because he just acts regardless of script.
this exactly why I love him so much. He loves his craft. He loves movies. He is the cinema. Full devotion, full attention. My favorite actor. Period.
This movie was incredible. I heard everyone in the theater talking about how no one actually knew what it was about, and everyone went in blind, me too. It was insane, I've never seen another like it in my life.
His resurgence has been legendary!
💯
Incorrect sir - Sir Nicolas Octavious Ronald Alexander lll, needs no resurgence because he never left.
He lost a TON of money to Madoff and had to take whatever to pay the bills (yes you can be a "millionaire" and be insolvent lol). Glad to see him getting some spotlight.
@@chriskoschik391he participated in that ponzi scheme?
00:53 "She wasn't Satanic" he is awesome. Interesting the Director said it's about his mom. And then Nicolas heard his mom. Pretty cool.
His mom must be thrilled 💀💀
His mom had to be on something else to inspire this character lmao
She died in 2018, probably why he feels he can do and say this
He's talking about the more ephemeral stuff, not literal.
@@Starburst514 he’d say it if she were alive I bet, he was clearly thanking her for the inspiration
@@Starburst514 Wrong she passed away in 2022
When his wife answers he has to say "oh there she is"
😂😂😂😂
“the almost BIRTHDAY girl”
“Nic, my birthday isn’t for 5 months”
There she iiiiiS?!
I’m so happy to see him get a break….he deserves to be back on top!
nice touch that Oz makes a movie about mommy issues....his dad's most famous character also had a few
Norman is a good boy 👵
Just seen LongLegs in cinema, wow. It was terrifying, but Nic’s performance was absolutely fantastic and a standout, genuinely so scary
The passion Nick has for film is second to none.
I genuinely think he’s the greatest of all time in regards to fearless performances. A very special talent indeed.
His best role since Knowing, that was crazyyyyyy
Have you seen Mandy? He’s insane in that one
@@swampghost8271ahh Mandy, my personal gem of a movie
Nic Cage of this era is incredible.
So glad he’s finally back on track and do roles that suits him
Man, haven't been this hyped for a movie in a long time, Longlegs is going to be incredible.
It is.
@@Isaia.hI'm glad to hear it 😁
It was great. Starts out with a bang
Nicolas Cage was traumatised by his mom I can tell lol
He's just like me fr fr ;-;
@@Starburst514 same lol thats why I got him when he said that
There he is the almost birthday boy 😂
He comes across like a really cool guy.
Just watched Longlegs last night on Amazon. Cage absolutely nails it and deserves an award
Nicolas Cage's son is in a Black Metal band and he goes to the shows. Fact.
That’s cool as fuck
Yeah I heard about that
GOOD FOR HIM. I HOPE THIS MOVIE IS HUGE. MR. CAGE DESERVES THIS RECOGNITION. HE IS A SUPERB ACTOR. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT.
I love Nicholas Cage, not only because he has half Italian blood in him but he's been o e of my favorites since I've been a kid
I love him so much!! This man just LOVES THE CRAFT OF ACTING!!!
Like he didn’t even care when he was taking random roles in B movies the last few years - to him Acting is Acting - he just kept going - and no matter the script or the director - he ALWAYS gave it his 100%!!! MAD RESPECT TO HIM for that!!!
He is so respectful to the interviewer too, like there is no ego involved - man is just happy to be there and happy to talk about the craft and his process!!!!
I am hoping this will mark a resurgence in his career and people will be reminded how great of an Actor he really is!!
0:29 the camera man noticed nick missed a spot when shaving
I had to scroll way too far to see someone mention that dynamic zoom lmao
Love nick cage he never quit even when his career wasn't going too well but he has done some great movies he has a great work ethic seems like a great guy
“She wasn’t satanic but she went through a lot”!!!! 😂😂😂
Why zoom into his lips 😂
Checking focus, figured B-roll would cover it. Surprise! I always used the subject's eyes.
Why not
I thought the same random af 😂
he needs to top me
It's art, imitating life🤩
Holy shit I also thought of like a middle aged mother while watching his character. My god, he’s a genius.
I can't explain why I love him so much, but I think growing up with him in films my entire life is a comforting thing. I hope he doesn't retire anytime soon.
Great character actor! Great directed film too, the cinematography was beautiful
I just watched Longlegs, and I found it unbelievable, Nic Cage absolutely nailed his role, I didn't expect to know he based on his mother to play this creepy character that makes him seem unrecognizable in the movie. Actually, Maira Monroe said she didn't know what Nicolas would look like on the set, so she was actually afraid of him like Jodie Foster when she met Anthony Hopkins, who she never spoken, while shooting The Silence of the Lambs.
Nicolas Cage seems like a really cool guy. He put a lot into those answers. Not a lot of actors do that. Especially in on-the-fly interviews like this.
I just watched LONGLEGS!! And I honestly went to see it because of Nicolas Cage. I loved it!!
I thought it was one of the best performances of his career! Just left the theater yesterday and I was wowed at his performance. Bone chilling
Soo....glad Nicolas Cage is back in the spotlight once again! He is definitely a National Treasure!! 👏
"There she is"
Iconic
Since my relatives secluded me from a pool party, I'm gonna spoil LongLegs for them Thursday.
Then we'll be even 🤗
(2 days later)
That ending felt unfinished, leaving me puzzled with a long list of questions 😵💫💥
Got my tickets for this Thursday!!!!!
Need to do the same! Hopefully, it's in 35 millimeter film! 😮
"I wanted to play a character that wasn't anything like me"
Everyone: The character is practically Nick Cage 😂
One of my all time favorite actors. Even with his crummy roles he put his all into it. National Treasure being one of my faves.
Love Nic Cage man, he’s a very versatile actor
One of the scariest characters ever
I saw the movie tonight and I was thinking “who is that, I know that actor…” and when they had him my fiancé said: “it’s Nicholas Cage!” Well have you ever… it is! Well played!
Movie was incredible. Definitely worth watching
Nick need more opportunities to play those kind of roles, he can play madman easily with those skills
I can't describe how much I hate how people have tried to say that Nicholas Cage is a genuinely bad actor.
Has he been in bad movies? Yes, horrendous ones. Quite a lot of them actually.
But good, bad, mediocre, terrible or amazing he is ALWAYS the best part of any movie he's in.
In his roles he is such an over the top but in the most subtle way type of actor. Incredible he is capable of doing both at the same time!
Why is he hotter today than 5 years ago? And the voice ❤. Damn I've missed him, a great actor
I really liked it when we zoomed in on those lips
He is such an amazing actor and has so much range with acting 😭
So cool. Nicolas Cage’s performance as Longlegs was remarkable. Love the film
Nicholas Cage did a great job in this spectaculair movie. Vaguely heard about his bankruptcy, but hope he is doing well
Dream Scenario was the best film of last year soooo good
Raising Arizona, Adaptation, and Joe are all some of my favorite films of all time. Truly one of the Greatest of our time
"Wtf?"
- Nicolas Cage's mother.
Nic Cage is seriously an amazing actor, I think his public persona or the meme culture behind him may set him up to be a bit of a joke, but dude can seriously act and completely understands his craft. Longlegs was terrifying and Cage helped deliver one of the best serial killer roles I've seen in quite some time.
Gawd dont I love Nick Cage, Longlegs was in my list of movies to watch but then when i found out he was playing in it And even playing a psycho, It shot to number 1.
"Maybe you shouldn't drink so much"
"Maybe i shouldn't breath either " haha
One of the best to ever do it
We are looking at the greatest, hardest working, most humbly fantastic actor of all time!! What a time to be alive🎉
This movie was amazing and I almost laughed whenever he was on the screen even when he was supposed to be scary, he was hilarious and the same time 😂
Am I the only one who found it hilarious how casually he said "she wasn't Satanic, but,"
LMAO at the zoom in to the chin. Give the cameraman a raise!
Give him the Oscar now
His character is literally WTF
Just finished watching the movie, it was disturbing for sure. Nicolas Cage is an incredible actor.
One of the best actors in the 21st century.
he is iconic already.
Nic Cage was made a meme for a long time but the way he played Longlegs is some of the best acting I ever saw. True horror
He’s so cool
I am so stoked to see the film on the Big screen !!!!
Can't wait to see!!
So glad that he has bounced back !
I'm.
So excited. I'm just dying waiting to see this movie.
He wore his long legs today
Man this movie was fricken crazy. He did an amazing job.
Cage is one of the best. He has done so many movies
He's really found his niche. He was in a sump for a while but he's back.
You had me at good critics reviews and Nicolas Cage.
Greatest actor of all time.
I legit asked at the end of this movie to my brothers, like "where tf was Nicolas Cage in that movie".. I literally couldn't even tell that, THAT was him. Such a creepy character and as much as I didn't really "enjoy" that movie, the performance, plot and horror element to it was certainly fantastic
Love this guy. Cannot wait to see this movie on Thursday.
He is soo likeable. Can’t wait to see this.
Man I hope this movie lives up to the hype
I couldn’t recognize him and I had to google while watching the movie wondering “who is this amazing actor “
This guy never age
He was terrifyingly brilliant
This man has perfected neoshamanism.
Such a legend, so versatile, still going stronger than ever, a superstar over generations. Longlegs is brilliant, Cage is absolutely unnerving and terrifying ❤
Cage never loses baby
Longlegs just might be my favorite performance from him. Nic Cage looks very easily approachable and kind. He has a nice voice that’s probably easy to talk to but he got lost in the role of Longlegs. His performance made me so uncomfortable and he was really unsettling. Amazing performance.
