Nicolas Cage was put side by side with the Civil War era picture that’s been sweeping the Internet in conjunction with a theory that he is in fact a vampire. Cage acknowledged a resemblance, he didn’t see a flattering one.
“How can I be polite about this,” he said of the man in the picture. “It’s a somewhat slowed down version of me.” Furthermore, he posited that the very existence of the picture would seem to denounce the vampire theory. After all, it’s common knowledge that vampires’ pictures can’t be taken. “I don’t drink blood and last time I looked in the mirror, I had a reflection, so I’m not going with the vampire theory,” he concluded.
