Things We Saw Today: You Need To See Nic Cage Reading Tweets About Him

Nicolas Cage is, to me, one of our greatest actors. He understands acting on a level that no one else does and constantly brings the right kind of performances to each movie he’s a part of. So now, with a movie like The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent that actually understands the brilliance of Cage and his skill, we get to see Cage in a completely different way. And that has been extending to the promotion for the movie, as well.

It seems as if Lionsgate and the official “Nick Cage Movie” Twitter accounts have banked plenty of content of Cage’s reactions to questions from fans, and now Twitter Movies has released a series of videos of Nic Cage talking about our tweets that mention him or his work!

And boy oh boy was Nic Cage reading tweets a delightful surprise.

Cage talked about working with Pedro Pascal and how their relationship was one that made filming the movie exciting and not feel like acting from time to time.

He’s humble.

He goes on a tangent about being in love with Miss Piggy and loving the Muppets …

And, most importantly, he’s right. If you’re sad and need a pick-me-up, definitely watch The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.

Anyway, whoever stole Nic Cage’s comic books, GIVE THEM BACK.

The real national treasure was Nicolas Cage all along.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent hits theaters on April 22nd and I wish I could put into words how perfect this movie really is but if you love Nic Cage movies like me, you’re sure to have a fun time.
