[@andrewbarzal1650]

I disagree that he’s “totally ok with it”. If you spend some time looking into his thoughts and feelings on the whole meme Nicolas Cage thing, its clear that its not something he’s happy about. What you’re referring to is that fact that he has acknowledged that there’s nothing he can do to change it. He considers himself to be a legitimate working actor who is serious and passionate about his craft. Not being taken seriously by the internet and at this point, much of Hollywood because of what the internet has done to his reputation, is not something he celebrates.

[@zyourzgrandzmaz]

@@andrewbarzal1650 you're digging way deeper than it is. His reputation has never changed , hes always been a wild card and thespian. He enjoys the art and is very eccentric. He has always been weird Nicholas cage. The meme of him being crazy is older than the Internet and started with "vampires kiss".... And he was also kinda crazy in face off.

[@chasself4709]

I love that he gets into these new ideas and niche interests and just goes all in with it for a little while and it's like everything then he kinda moves on to the next thing that catches his interest. It's really cute and endearing to see someone allow themselves to be so enthusiastic about whatever it is they're into at the moment and eager to share about it. Even when asked about some random thing he's mentioned being into like building model rockets or the shaman acting thing and writing that book, he's just like "uhhh yeah, that's something I was really into for a while...." You can tell he's no longer at full intensity with that interest anymore but still keeps it tucked away on a shelf with the others and maybe he'll come back to it. Sort of like how my real hobby/interest is actually just collecting new hobbies and interests.

[@RichieJimyt]

My favorite thing about these Cage answering our questions videos is that some of the outrageous things said about him were made up but so much of it is true and he explains it to you like it's a normal day at the office.

[@Incog2k6]

[@c5mjohn]

That is so odd. This whole video I thought he was just as strange as I imagined him and acted like a prototypical celebrity. Not that it's a bad thing, he is hella interesting and I would watch a 3 hour version of this Q&A. Only a rich celebrity can say sentences like "yea, I gave the trex skull to the Mongolian government" and only an oddball would say "yes, the rumors are true, I pulled out two baby teeth".

[@AxeKick80]

That’s high praise.

[@hardminder]

I thought the exact opposite. He seemed smug, wrapped in himself. 3:24 see how he answers no quick and without looking or considering the interlocutor? yuk. No one does that. Same at 5:23. He acts NOTHING like a ''normal'' person.

[@gagetaylor192]

@@MellowFresh You have literally nothing to prove anything about Sean's show is fake. You couldn't pay the celebrities he has on enough money to act the way they do or else way bigger platforms would be able to get that same reaction out of them. Sean knows how to get the best out of people because he's adaptable, he does his research, and he asks questions that usually impress the interviewee because they actually get to hear something different for once. You're just not used to seeing celebrities be actual human beings because 95% of the time you see them they're being told to put on a professional face for tv. Whereas on hot ones it's clear they get to be themselves because it's a youtube show where 2 people just eat hot wings and have a conversation with each other and we learn stuff while being entertained by the concept. Literally every single host I can think of should take notes of hot ones.
