Nicolas Cage's Hair Seen in Every Form it's Taken
You might think Nicolas Cage is the greatest actor to ever live, or you might hate his guts, but the truth is, you can't stay indifferent in the face of such a rare and unique Hollywood talent. For decades, the man born as Nicolas Coppola found a way to stay relevant with his over-the-top acting skills and characters that are burned into our memories.
From coming of age films in the 80s to action movies in the 90s and even superhero flicks in the 2000s, Nicolas Cage is a force to be reckoned with. He doesn't like to do the same thing over and over and is always looking for new ways to surprise his audience, which is one of the most heterogeneous groups of fans in the world.
He doesn't like to stick to one hairstyle either, because he knows hair is everything, and each of his characters deserves to be unique in their own way. So here's Nicolas Cage's hair seen in every form it's taken.
