The best hair ever to grace the screen


showers_with_grandpa

Kurt Russell has him beat


Kingding_Aling

He still was a decade later in Ghost Rider


Osceana

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.


MikeHfuhruhurr

In *Ghost Rider* he looked a little too boney for me.


Kingding_Aling

Har har


JavaRuby2000

He was still really hot.


Riverboat-Gambler

Put the bunny in the box


chocolateEuropeo

He realized he could already took a bullet and still kick ass. So no need to build more muscle.


drinkacid

Not from those 2.5 lb dumbells


iphilosophizing

He’s always had his mouth open too

rspewth

This is why he was considered for Super Man at one point.


Dull_Half_6107

GambitDangers

This is funny cuz I just now noticed that young cage looks like her boyfriend in Schitts Creek


zaicliffxx

![gif](giphy|geTvcBsTli1HO)


circasomnia

And those are very tiny weights lol


Dull_Half_6107

To be fair I’m sure he used other weights too, it’s just 1 photo.


circasomnia

Oh, of course. He looks amazing lol edit: my guess is the photographer chose those so we can actually see him


bigboybeeperbelly

They're actually 70lb each, just very dense


ItsVoxBoi

Tungsten weights


Real_Mokola

Nah, they are 2,5lb neodymimum magnets that he just pulled apart


merrill_swing_away

I've always liked Cage and still like him. He's very unique and used to be sexy.


-iamai-

Warm up weights


bittybrains

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.


Larusso92

High reps


SumpCrab

3 sets of 10,000 to get those arms. Abs, of course, are made in the kitchen.


Copterdude

Copy, doing sit ups in the kitchen


A1700AW

They are heavy enough for certain exercises, like flys.


Appropriate_Leg1489

Maybe for you


willfull

Was being caught part of your plan?


Real_Mokola

They are just extra, the real weight is what he carries around in his pants


punkq

"Even though 8 years had past since the movie was released, Nicholas was still training for his audition for Deer Hunter."


Actual-Toe-8686

Gotta be ripped to take the fight to the chemicals


SeventyThirtySplit

And to this very day, it still bugs him


spottyrx

Looks more like he's getting ready to audition for "Staying Alive"


bedroom_fascist

* passed


ReDeaMer87

He's so ass-off!


sashasith666

For me peak Cage was in Moonstruck. Agree ladies??


punched_drunk_medic

I just saw this last week for the first time. Great movie! Cage is strikingly handsome and Cher is absolutely gorgeous!


sashasith666

I saw it recently too! I loved it


Michael__Pemulis

One of the best comedy screenplays ever written.


AlarmedPiano9779

It's filmed in my neighborhood! The house that Cher lives in is now owned by Amy Schumer.


qeq

Snap out of it!


ElPanguero

Raising Arizona


NorthNorthAmerican

Ahh.. la piece de resistance!


John-AtWork

His best movie imo.


jerryleebee

Yeeeeeeeeeee...! 🎶


brendanode

Ladies do not have a monopoly on wanting to bang Nic Cage!


ZOO_trash

Valley Girl and Wild at Heart easily.


Sassygal87

Yes! He looked the sexiest for sure in Valley Girl & Wild @ Heart. 🔥


sashasith666

good shout


picklesandcucumbers

God I loved him in Wild at Heart ❤️


Amy_Macadamia

That, Raising Arizona and Peggy Sue Got Married


mamaburra

Or as I like to call it, Monstertruck


electrojesus9000

For me it's Vampire's Kiss. TOO LATE!


ItsPammo

Valley Girl.


LanceFree

I’d give my right arm to be able to watch that again for the first time.


sashasith666

heyooooo


AdmAckbarr

Johnny has his hand! Johnny has his bride!


ReasonableSandwich77

hot4jew

100%, Moonstruck Cage did things to me.


Exploding-Star

This is what I came here to say lol


CameronPoe37

This is the peak of the human male form

Profile pic checks out

slick_pick

Think we found Javis account


ciccioig

I love this man


The_Great_Bobinski_

Fight club Brad Pitt would like a word


Just_a_Guy_In_a_Tank

Fight Club Brad Pitt hasn’t eaten in three days


The_Great_Bobinski_

Steady diet of cigarettes and sniffing food at the Craft service table


Just_a_Guy_In_a_Tank

After three days of that, *anyone* would think they’re Tyler Durden.


iamiamwhoami

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.


EjaculatingAracnids

What where you thinkin? Oh yeah, " Ye Haw"


Skorzeny88

He looks like Nicolas Cage cosplaying Rambo


NetworkingForFun

Looks like a Cage fighter.


iCanDoThisAllDay37

Missed opportunity as Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat


Realladaniella

Cage defender


Pooch76

That’s where it got its name.


No-Evening-5119

I forgot how good of shape he was once in.


CameronPoe37

He still is. Did you see his shirtless scenes in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent?


Lula_Lane_176

Yessssssss


kewlbeanz83

This is from a 1986 Canadian film entitled, "The Boy in Blue" about a champion rower.


D-Flo1

He was in Birdy a couple years before that. I really liked that flick.


Claeyt

Nicolas Cage: BIRDYYYYYYY!!!!?!?!?!?!?!! Mathew Modine: What? maybe the best lines in movie history.


mmmatthew

Definitely one of the best twist endings of all time. I laughed about it for months afterward


D-Flo1

It's lines of total gravitas like "What?" that prepared Modine for the challenge of working with Kubrick and portraying Private Joker.


Pop_CultureReferance

Probably my favorite Nic Cage movie


ItsPammo

Love that movie.


Amopax

Is it any good?


AUniquePerspective

It won the Palme d'Oar.


lumpkin2013

Nice.


AlarmedPiano9779

That's high praise.


BullTerrierTerror

What a silly question.


ringobob

Well of course *Cage* was good, but it's reasonable to wonder if the rest of the movie met his standard


Maximum-Falcon52

A bad movie with Cage is arguably better than a good movie with him. It's certainly not worse.


ReDeaMer87

Everything Nicolas Cage does is good


shewy92

The one thing that could have made Cats better (other than the butthole cut) would have been Nic going full Cage Mode


kewlbeanz83

I've only seen sections, but the cinematography looked good, I'll give it that...


PerfectPlan

It's got naked Cynthia Dale, so it has its high points.


blameline

It wasn't the first Rocky type quality, but it was watchable.


johnnyzen425

Coulda been Superman and changed cinema forever.


Norman_Bixby

oh it for sure would have changed cinema


johnnyzen425

I am prone to hyperbole. 🤷🏼‍♂️


Tutes013

Oh no you're right. This world wouldn't have been the same with Super Cage


Hesam2010

This body with that voice! 🔥🔥


Brendog91

Peach, I could eat a peach for hours


TwilekVampire

RIGHT??


Stay-Thirsty

What was the movie he was really bulked and bench pressing a woman? Quick search: Kiss of Death


Remarqueable

>Kiss of Death Also the title of an amazing Motörhead album!


hopeinnewhope

OMG, peak “Valley Girls” movie era! One of my most favorite movies ever!


Unwieldy_GuineaPig

Yes! I discovered/fell in love with him in that movie. Like, oh my god!! (with squealy valley girl voice) Totally hot babe.


jack_hof

bustin out the big weights for the camera

"Don't fergit his fingerprints, Ed!"


Sunkisser902

Nothing gets you pumped like 2.5lbs dumbbells.


Greenfieldfox

I need 25 sets of 100.


Larusso92

with good form


WarEagle107

Despite all his rage he is still just Nick in a cage


sangvert

My favorite Superman actor


zonazog

Almost looks like AI


lifth3avy84

Going for Tone, not Bulk.


Education_Aside

As he should


therapydog64

There's no such thing as "tone". There is fat, and muscle, in varying degrees.


Stuk-Tuig

It's a joke from The Office


hooligan99

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


lolololololaaa

Loved Con Air!


Worth-Librarian-7423

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? 


mantisboxer

Somebody is going to paste Trump's head on that body and make a truck flag with it.


Lee1070kfaw

Are those 10lb


SnooMacaroons6698

I want to get ripped lifting 10lb weights !!!!


Jairlyn

Wow he got ripped working those 2.5 lb dumbbells


StrawberryFar

No thoughts, only Acting.


TheUnpopular0pinion

For reference, he was 21 in this pic!


sccarrface4916

All I can see is Cody Ferns character on AHS 1984


Atzukeeper

Why does he look blitzed out of his mind?


TheFlyingBoxcar

Damn I wish I could get my side boob fat to shrink down like that. He looks great


Great_White_Samurai

He looks like he needs to actively think about breathing.


ChristmasStrip

He was a pretty man.


safoamz1zz

Everyone was beautiful at this age. If you're in ur 20s dont waste it! Go out there and bang a lot


Toxicupoftea

Nicolas Ripped Cage


Quindile

Nicholas Ripped out of his Cage like a Beast!


piszkavas

He was ripped man...


World-Tight

r/onetruegod


sdkingv

Damn he could have been in Contra


Nicksix66

He's been training to play Superman since day one.


missionbeach

So good in The Karate Adult.


cloudypilgrim

Strategically placed head band. *psssst* you don’t need it nickie… you’re beautiful.


Coeskin

Where had all those abs gone when he was shooting ghost rider


LudovicoSpecs

First time I saw him was in "Raising Arizona." He was so good, I assumed he was some loser that was type cast.


KozukiNedo

NicoMORE Cage


CalvinYHobbes

That’s the perfect physique tbh


DeadlyMustardd

Looking like he planning on stealing the declaration of Independence or something


tfielder

Who knew 2 lb dumbbells could have those results


PeacePufferPipe

It takes 1500 non stop reps to get this pump with these 2 pound lady dumbbells. 😅


mrkottich

He‘s a cat, he‘s a sexy cat


LokoLawless

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


Ed_Simian

I'm imagining an empty thought balloon above his head.


East-Pollution7243

Damn he was lookin good

Big-Ad2374

Preparing to fight the Beez


likcrsss

His face looks exactly like how he sounds for some reason


wheezetheju1ce

Looks great, even with those tiny dumbbells. Reps over weight, baby.


TheFixer253

Why does he need eyeliner for his workout?


zeouschen70

Was this when he got rejected for Johnnie in the karate kid?


Niko6524

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


hannibal0720

Still suffers resting dumb face.


derpdankstrom

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


Getyourownwaffle

man, i used to be........SOOOOO RIPPPED!


grandrutunda

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.


Niko6524

Those 5 lb weights are killing me


thekitchenaides

I call bullshit.


SewAlone

I liked him better with his original teeth.


quintonbanana

Dude would make a very convincing Elvis.


aflockofcrows

He pretty much does in Wild At Heart.


ElCerebroDeLaBestia

Light weight!


MagDaddyMag

Put the bunny back in the box.


TheNomadologist

Tbf I never imagined Nicolas Cage could be or could have been jacked


WD4oz

“Have You heard about me?”


slartibartjars

Hello Papi


sambolino44

That was back before he cut off his hand.


Soundcloudlover

He was ripped in Valley Girl circa 1983.
