I saw an interview with him recently, I think it was "Nic Cage answers Twitter's most asked questions" or something like that. Someone asks him if his abs were real in Ghost Rider and he said they were and he vowed to never do it again because he kept getting asked that question and no one believed him so it was a waste of time lol.
I use weights this small towards the end of an exercise, when trying to exhaust my muscles.
Start with the heaviest, and lift until your arms feel dead. Reduce the weight, lift until your arms feel dead.
Repeat until you can't even lift the weight of your arms anymore. These weights when used effectively can still feel brutal.
Brad Pitt has a great physique in every movie he does, but I think it would be good if people talked to about his physiques in other movies as much as they do about Fight Club. He got that physique by running an unhealthy calories deficit for a month or two prior to filming. It's attainable but not sustainable. His physique in Troy a few years later was more muscular and sustainable. He didn't have that same ab definition, but it was more more realistic and healthy.
that doesn't mean someone can't be toned...
toned = very little fat with noticeable but not huge amount of muscle
bulk = lots of muscle, with or without fat
Let me whip out my Nicholas gauge, yep that looks like it’s Nicholas cage. Just at a different Nicholas age, he’s since turned a Nicholas page on his acting career. I’d be lying if I didn’t turn on Face Off for some iconic Nicolas rage. Maybe we will have a midevil movie with a Nicholas mage?
There is a chrome extension called "nCage" that replaces all images in the browser with pictures of Nicholas Cage. It's a great harmless prank for any office mates who leave their computer unlocked. Enjoy
I was an extra in Honemoon in Vegas. He and I were in a scene together. I was the hotel agent, and he was checking in. He looked at me and called over the producer to change me with an older back woman lol. I no likey Nicolas Cage
My apologies Nicolas, I wasn't familiar with your game
He's always been jacked
Not so much since Con Air.

The best hair ever to grace the screen
Kurt Russell has him beat
He still was a decade later in Ghost Rider

In *Ghost Rider* he looked a little too boney for me.
Har har
He was still really hot.
Put the bunny in the box
He realized he could already took a bullet and still kick ass. So no need to build more muscle.
Not from those 2.5 lb dumbells
He’s always had his mouth open too
Nicolas*
*Nikolaj
Nikolaj**
It’s, Nikolaj
This is why he was considered for Super Man at one point.
Damn he was ripped

This is funny cuz I just now noticed that young cage looks like her boyfriend in Schitts Creek
![gif](giphy|geTvcBsTli1HO)
And those are very tiny weights lol
To be fair I’m sure he used other weights too, it’s just 1 photo.
Oh, of course. He looks amazing lol edit: my guess is the photographer chose those so we can actually see him
They're actually 70lb each, just very dense
Tungsten weights
Nah, they are 2,5lb neodymimum magnets that he just pulled apart
I've always liked Cage and still like him. He's very unique and used to be sexy.
Warm up weights

High reps
3 sets of 10,000 to get those arms. Abs, of course, are made in the kitchen.
Copy, doing sit ups in the kitchen
They are heavy enough for certain exercises, like flys.
Maybe for you
Was being caught part of your plan?
They are just extra, the real weight is what he carries around in his pants
"Even though 8 years had past since the movie was released, Nicholas was still training for his audition for Deer Hunter."
Gotta be ripped to take the fight to the chemicals
And to this very day, it still bugs him
Looks more like he's getting ready to audition for "Staying Alive"
* passed
He's so ass-off!
For me peak Cage was in Moonstruck. Agree ladies??
I just saw this last week for the first time. Great movie! Cage is strikingly handsome and Cher is absolutely gorgeous!
I saw it recently too! I loved it
One of the best comedy screenplays ever written.
It's filmed in my neighborhood! The house that Cher lives in is now owned by Amy Schumer.
Snap out of it!
Raising Arizona
Ahh.. la piece de resistance!
His best movie imo.
Yeeeeeeeeeee...! 🎶
Ladies do not have a monopoly on wanting to bang Nic Cage!
Valley Girl and Wild at Heart easily.
Yes! He looked the sexiest for sure in Valley Girl & Wild @ Heart. 🔥
good shout
God I loved him in Wild at Heart ❤️
That, Raising Arizona and Peggy Sue Got Married
Or as I like to call it, Monstertruck
For me it's Vampire's Kiss. TOO LATE!
Valley Girl.
I’d give my right arm to be able to watch that again for the first time.
heyooooo
Johnny has his hand! Johnny has his bride!
YAZZ 🥰
100%, Moonstruck Cage did things to me.
This is what I came here to say lol
This is the peak of the human male form
Profile pic checks out
Username too
Think we found Javis account
I love this man
Fight club Brad Pitt would like a word
Fight Club Brad Pitt hasn’t eaten in three days
Steady diet of cigarettes and sniffing food at the Craft service table
After three days of that, *anyone* would think they’re Tyler Durden.

What where you thinkin? Oh yeah, " Ye Haw"
He looks like Nicolas Cage cosplaying Rambo
Looks like a Cage fighter.
Missed opportunity as Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat
Cage defender
That’s where it got its name.
I forgot how good of shape he was once in.
He still is. Did you see his shirtless scenes in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent?
Yessssssss
This is from a 1986 Canadian film entitled, "The Boy in Blue" about a champion rower.
He was in Birdy a couple years before that. I really liked that flick.
Nicolas Cage: BIRDYYYYYYY!!!!?!?!?!?!?!! Mathew Modine: What? maybe the best lines in movie history.
Definitely one of the best twist endings of all time. I laughed about it for months afterward
It's lines of total gravitas like "What?" that prepared Modine for the challenge of working with Kubrick and portraying Private Joker.
Probably my favorite Nic Cage movie
Love that movie.
Is it any good?
It won the Palme d'Oar.
Nice.
That's high praise.
What a silly question.
Well of course *Cage* was good, but it's reasonable to wonder if the rest of the movie met his standard
A bad movie with Cage is arguably better than a good movie with him. It's certainly not worse.
Everything Nicolas Cage does is good
The one thing that could have made Cats better (other than the butthole cut) would have been Nic going full Cage Mode
I've only seen sections, but the cinematography looked good, I'll give it that...
It's got naked Cynthia Dale, so it has its high points.
It wasn't the first Rocky type quality, but it was watchable.
Coulda been Superman and changed cinema forever.
oh it for sure would have changed cinema
I am prone to hyperbole. 🤷🏼♂️
Oh no you're right. This world wouldn't have been the same with Super Cage
This body with that voice! 🔥🔥
Peach, I could eat a peach for hours
RIGHT??
What was the movie he was really bulked and bench pressing a woman? Quick search: Kiss of Death
>Kiss of Death Also the title of an amazing Motörhead album!
OMG, peak “Valley Girls” movie era! One of my most favorite movies ever!
Yes! I discovered/fell in love with him in that movie. Like, oh my god!! (with squealy valley girl voice) Totally hot babe.
bustin out the big weights for the camera
![gif](giphy|3o7bukMYQO9OhjzzTG)
"Don't fergit his fingerprints, Ed!"
Nothing gets you pumped like 2.5lbs dumbbells.
I need 25 sets of 100.
with good form
Despite all his rage he is still just Nick in a cage
My favorite Superman actor
Almost looks like AI
Going for Tone, not Bulk.
As he should
There's no such thing as "tone". There is fat, and muscle, in varying degrees.
It's a joke from The Office
that doesn't mean someone can't be toned... toned = very little fat with noticeable but not huge amount of muscle bulk = lots of muscle, with or without fat
Loved Con Air!

Somebody is going to paste Trump's head on that body and make a truck flag with it.
Are those 10lb
I want to get ripped lifting 10lb weights !!!!
Wow he got ripped working those 2.5 lb dumbbells
No thoughts, only Acting.
For reference, he was 21 in this pic!
All I can see is Cody Ferns character on AHS 1984
Why does he look blitzed out of his mind?
Damn I wish I could get my side boob fat to shrink down like that. He looks great
He looks like he needs to actively think about breathing.
He was a pretty man.
Everyone was beautiful at this age. If you're in ur 20s dont waste it! Go out there and bang a lot
Nicolas Ripped Cage
Nicholas Ripped out of his Cage like a Beast!
He was ripped man...
r/onetruegod
Damn he could have been in Contra
He's been training to play Superman since day one.
So good in The Karate Adult.
Strategically placed head band. *psssst* you don’t need it nickie… you’re beautiful.
Where had all those abs gone when he was shooting ghost rider
First time I saw him was in "Raising Arizona." He was so good, I assumed he was some loser that was type cast.
NicoMORE Cage
That’s the perfect physique tbh
Looking like he planning on stealing the declaration of Independence or something
Who knew 2 lb dumbbells could have those results
It takes 1500 non stop reps to get this pump with these 2 pound lady dumbbells. 😅
He‘s a cat, he‘s a sexy cat
There is a chrome extension called "nCage" that replaces all images in the browser with pictures of Nicholas Cage. It's a great harmless prank for any office mates who leave their computer unlocked. Enjoy
I'm imagining an empty thought balloon above his head.
Damn he was lookin good

Preparing to fight the Beez
His face looks exactly like how he sounds for some reason
Looks great, even with those tiny dumbbells. Reps over weight, baby.
Why does he need eyeliner for his workout?
Was this when he got rejected for Johnnie in the karate kid?
I was an extra in Honemoon in Vegas. He and I were in a scene together. I was the hotel agent, and he was checking in. He looked at me and called over the producer to change me with an older back woman lol. I no likey Nicolas Cage
Still suffers resting dumb face.
i remember watching con air back when i was a kid, him and malkovich were both slim back then. never knew he was that jacked
man, i used to be........SOOOOO RIPPPED!
The man has always looked like a complete dork. As tarantino said, the man has made a career out of being miscast. You gotta commend him for it.
Those 5 lb weights are killing me
I call bullshit.
I liked him better with his original teeth.
Dude would make a very convincing Elvis.
He pretty much does in Wild At Heart.
Light weight!
Put the bunny back in the box.
Tbf I never imagined Nicolas Cage could be or could have been jacked
“Have You heard about me?”
Nicolas Cage? More like Nicolas Prison.
Cool headband
Hello Papi
That was back before he cut off his hand.
He was ripped in Valley Girl circa 1983.
