Is Nicolas Cage a Vampire from the Civil War Era?


By CASSANDRA ARSENAULT

Could Nicolas Cage be a vampire? A Civil War era photo that bears an eerie resemblance to Cage has sparked rumors that the actor is a real-life vampire.

Cage has starred in “Vampire’s Kiss” and played a demonic role in “Ghost Rider.” For most, his connection to the bloodsucking species ends there. Not so for Jack Mord, an antiques dealer who got the rumor mill cooking when he posted a photograph for sale on eBay of a man he says is from Bristol, Tenn., around 1870, and he says can be no one else but Cage.

Mord believes Cage is a vampire who reinvents himself every 75 years or so.

“Personally, I believe it’s him and that he is some sort of walking undead/vampire, et cetera, who quickens/reinvents himself once every 75 years or so,” he wrote in the post, which has since been removed. “150 years from now, he might be a politician, the leader of a cult, or a talk show host.”

7. the bow tie is different....
it is interesting that Nick owned the most haunted house in New Orleans and he built an expensive tomb their (which he would never use if he was a vampire)...

6. No and here's why:
1. Vampires bite the soft pale necks of virgins for their blood, Nicolas Cage chews up scenery in motion pictures.
2. If he had really been around since 1870 (or earlier) he'd probably have picked up some acting talent at some point.

:shrug:

12. Yeah, that's my take too. Without getting into the
whole "vampire" bit :), that's a SERIOUS resemblance.

23. I'm betting this will be news to the Coppola family.
Cage is the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola.

I'm thinking finding out that he's actually a Civil War era vampire is gonna be a pretty big shocker to his family...



:wow:

26. Okay. I'm going to clue America in on a few things. One, VAMPIRES ARE NOT REAL.
Edited on Fri Oct-14-11 03:24 AM by Warren DeMontague
Two, neither are werewolves, zombies, Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, or the tooth fairy.

These are made up, imaginary beings that have no objective existence outside of your own dreams and fantasies.

If you can't stop taking your own delusions seriously, please, at least stop expecting the rest of us to humor you about them.



Ahem. cough.
