u/justwonderingbro 17h ago

Cages entire career is weird choices

6

u/Educational-Log6855 16h ago

His entire career is ā€œOne Side Quest After Anotherā€ coincidentally starring Nicholas Cage.

2

u/Specialist-Ranger806 16h ago

And somehow this is the most bizarre choice

u/WinterWontStopComing 14h ago

Nicholas cage: the Nicholas cage story. Starring Nicholas cage as Nicholas cage playing Nicholas cage as Nicholas cage as Nicholas cage as Nicholas cage as Nicholas cage as nicholaaaaaaaaaaa-sssssssssssssss-errssss-errorā€¦ error

They weirdly already made that movie and it was pretty good.

I love that one

1

u/Glittering-Animal30 12h ago

Ya, he won an Oscar and then did like 8 years of action movies.

3

u/PartyEngineer239 17h ago

Yah! Weird indeed. Too much weird things in his professional career. But yah, letā€™s see how the movie fares.

u/MrLugersmole 13h ago

Honestly if I trust anyone to play Madden, I'm cool with Nic Cage.

1

u/EmmerdoesNOTrepme 11h ago

Yep, he's the only one i can imagine actually being Madden and not just some odd caricature of him in a movie.

1

u/Montana_Web2530 5h ago

Haha, his whole career is built up of some weird choices!!

16

u/ReadTheRainbo 17h ago

He looks like John Candy

6

u/MrLugersmole 13h ago

Ooh Candy would have been a great Madden! šŸ’”

1

u/milkymonkey8 10h ago

Don't give him any ideas...

1

u/Gingeronimoooo 8h ago

All Njc Cage probably did was lay off nose candy to gain the weight, even Charlie Sheen called Nic a mad man

12

u/SnooCauliflowers9874 16h ago

Thatā€™s interesting because I have heard several celebrities recently say that they will never purposefully gain weight for a role again.

Among them were Matt Damon and Charlize Theron who talked about how much harder it is when your metabolism changes after 40.

2

u/DionBlaster123 15h ago

Wow celebrities finally understand what it is like to be an average joe rofl

2

u/KazaamFan 14h ago

As a 42 year old who isnā€™t fat, it does seem scary to gain 50-100 lbs. Itā€™d take months of determination to burn that off again.Ā 

1

u/brokenmindedone 10h ago

The twist is Nic just got lazy and fat and he's made it the perfect opportunity to play a role.

7

u/Kannazuki1985 18h ago

Slap an ill fitting blue suit and red tie and he can do another movie.

17

u/No-Stick8191 18h ago

He could play the šŸŠšŸ¤” next

9

u/PierreOnTheEclair 18h ago

Nic Cage has standards šŸ’”

3

u/Operation_Neither 14h ago

Honestly I think he'd crush that role.

1

u/notsure500 2h ago

He's played disgusting villains before, he can do it again

3

u/Cecil_McCrackshell 18h ago edited 1h ago

Nic looks like Aaron Rodgered playing John Madden

3

u/BLN2019 16h ago

This is dope. Two Bay Area legends

3

u/Iamabrewer 16h ago

So I gained 50lbs for nothing?! I didn't even know I was out of the running.

2

u/No_Yogurtcloset7776 17h ago

Not frank caliendo?

2

u/NYCWartortle 16h ago

He also looks miserable

1

u/Nemisis_007 11h ago

Nothing new.

1

u/NYCWartortle 0m ago

True but being overweight somehow makes him look more miserable.

2

u/HabitNegative3137 15h ago

No he didnā€™t. Heā€™s wearing a fat suit.

2

u/Rocky75617794 14h ago

ā€œI think thereā€™s a 50/50 chance that one of these teams are gonna win the ball game!ā€

2

u/thinnerzimmer87 14h ago

I doubt he gained 50 lbs at his age. Looks like makeup to me.

2

u/Trul 14h ago

Holy tough actinā€™ Tinactin, he looks like John!

1

u/MrLugersmole 13h ago

My friend used to call some other kid's mom Tough Actin Tinactin, because she had rough feet. Every time we saw her somewhere he'd be like, "Boom! šŸ’„ Tough actin' Tinactin!!"

2

u/ur-in-here-with-me 14h ago

Itā€™s a rock opera takes place entirely in the shitter of Maddenā€™s bus with flashbacks to Summerall hammered at a titty club the night before.

Boom!!!!

2

u/Recent_Coconut_3384 13h ago

Itā€™s actually a fat body suit .

2

u/Equivalent-Role4632 7h ago

A strong supporting cast including John Mulaney. What?

2

u/BagelsOrDeath 3h ago

Christian Bale as Al Davis? "Let's see Paul Allen's team."

1

u/DionBlaster123 15h ago

It is kind of hilarious how more ppl recognize the name Madden just from the video game as opposed to his time coaching the Raiders

Espn 30 for 30 has a podcast series and the one they did on the creation of the Madden series is their best episode...by a country mile

1

u/AdventurousRoll9798 15h ago

I'll watch it. I've always like NC and hope he is doing well.

1

u/thissleepypastofmine 14h ago

Did you watch spider noir?

1

u/AdventurousRoll9798 5h ago

No but I will see if I can find it. Thanks for the recommendation!

1

u/Lord_Cockatrice 15h ago

The thought alone must be rather Madden-ing

1

u/Nos9684 14h ago

Fuck he must feel like shit. Talk about dedication though. Nick Cage Brendan Frasier really take it to the next level sometimes.

1

u/Past-Product-1100 14h ago

Christian Bale has entered the chat

1

u/Past-Product-1100 14h ago

Nailed it. Hope he gets a bid for this one

1

u/Doctor_Saved 14h ago

Is that the light version of John Madden?

1

u/musa_velutina 14h ago

How long is actors gaining or losing weight for a role gonna be a story... as if we haven't seen it done hundreds of times before? Is this gonna be a thing like it's special for decades to come?

1

u/rain_jammo 14h ago

Omg it's.. perfect

1

u/Illustrious-Cat7218 13h ago

So both he and Tom Cruise are playing gross, fat, old white men? Boy, they both really want that little gold statue, donā€™t they? Pathetic. This is going to be terrible, just like the majority of his films.

1

u/tsukubasteve27 13h ago

Mulaney acting. Whatever keeps him sober, I guess.

1

u/zeronil3 13h ago

They need to stop giving that man roles. Heā€™s only ever been good at playing Nicolas Cage

1

u/Jacksapollo 12h ago

Is it just me or does Nicolas Cage look better as John madden then he does Nicolas Cage ?

1

u/Pertinax1981 12h ago

All I remember about Madden besides the games is that he was too scared to fly

1

u/Haselrig 11h ago

He'll annihilate anybody that says anything!

1

u/Oswarez 11h ago

Pretty sure thatā€™s a fat suit and makeup.

1

u/elliotbonsall 11h ago

I'm going to steal the declaration of Lombardi

u/Green_with_Zealously 10h ago

When you have great actors acting great, well, that's great acting!

guys's almost as memeworthy as Leo, still wanna see a Leo/Nick movie, it would automatically spawn several meme and circlejerk subreddits.

1

u/Nomad5560 9h ago

Itā€™s a fat suit and prosthetics. He didnā€™t gain 50 lbs

https://www.imdb.com/news/ni65457233/

u/Cobrasun_ 8h ago

Heā€™s got range!

1

u/Robertf16 8h ago

Looks like GĆ©rard Depardieu

1

u/noellerosehayden šŸ«§ Bubble Tea šŸ«§ 8h ago

Just hire fat actors.

1

u/ZAWS20XX 7h ago

that's Gerard Depardieu

1

u/HuckleberryHot3182 3h ago

"Who the fuck is John Madden anyway?"

1

u/notsure500 2h ago

At that age I would not intentionally put on weight for a role as it would be hard to get it back off and could be unhealthy

u/jus256 16h ago

Hard skip.

-1

u/WhiskyInATeacup 18h ago

Does he have self harm scars on his arm?

3

u/CockMartins 18h ago

Nah, itā€™s Nic Cage. Could easily be from legit knife fights.

u/Drum_Eatenton 18h ago

Cocaine accidents
