For reals.
From what I've read about Nicholas Cage, he doesn't waste time trying to be liked. He's not the kind of guy that will laugh at a shitty joke just to be polite or win social brownie points and that somewhat polarises people's professional opinions of him. I can relate to that so much.
There's a really good interview with Paul Schrader that talks about working with Nicholas Cage, which is worth a read.
I'll admit that I had kinda written him off as an actor over the past 20 or so years, being that he had basically started appearing in anything with a script (and most of it not good). I watched 'Pig' the other week, though, and his performance completely re-established to my mind that he's actually one of the greatest actors of our generation, who's just had the misfortune of being cast in some absolute howlers and then being made the subject of faux-affectionate mockery by the Milennial/Zilennial crowd on social media who probably haven't bothered to watch any of his better stuff. Fucking brilliant movie by all accounts.
