Nic Cage’s Crow Thinks He’s a Jerk

There’s a lot to like about Nic Cage. There’s his unbelievable physique of labor, which has spanned 4 a long time. There’s his appearing, which ranges from refined, compelling performances to outright lunacy. There’s his in depth nerd-dom, which extends to naming his son Kal-El after Superman. There’s the time folks believed he was an precise, real-life vampire. And now there may be the gorgeous, good indisputable fact that his pet crow calls him names.

In a really enjoyable interview with the Los Angeles Times, Cage casually talked about—like he’d drop such a ridiculous truth another approach—the truth that his pet crow has began insulting him. From the piece:

“Cage’s pet crow is named Hoogan and lives in the actor’s Las Vegas home inside a geodesic dome. According to Cage, ‘He has taken to calling me names…it’s comical, at least, it is to me. When I leave the room, he’ll say, ‘Bye,’ and then go, ‘Ass.’ Crows are very intelligent. And I like their appearance, the Edgar Allan Poe aspect. I like the goth element. I am a goth.’”

I’m not totally positive how a lot Cage is aware of about goth tradition, however I do comprehend it’s one among life’s few, tender mercies that the actor will lastly be capable to play Dracula within the upcoming horror-comedy Renfield, starring Nicholas Hoult because the titular character who realizes he’s in a poisonous relationship along with his vampiric boss. While Cage has lately gotten rave evaluations for his extra dramatic work in smaller films over the previous few years, this will probably be—I hope—an opportunity for him to deliver that uber-intense, over-the-top, Face/Off-style power.

It’s the identical power he dropped at his first vampire film, Vampire’s Kiss, again in 1989, which was additionally a horror-comedy. In it, Cage performs a literary agent who believes he’s bitten by a vampire and turns into more and more unhinged, to the purpose the place he buys novelty fangs when his fail to develop. Look, simply watch the trailer:

As talked about above, there was additionally the time in 2012 when he was accused of being a vampire in actual life when an 1870 picture surfaced which included a person who regarded precisely like Cage.

So yeah, Cage is totally going to kill it—no pun supposed—in Renfield. No matter what his crow thinks.
