Nicolas Cage made a surprise performance to Nicolas Cage fans at…a Nicolas Cage festival.

What is the new Harry Potter statue and where will it be in London?

The John Malkovich moment happened at the C4GED festival at Austin’s Alamo Drafthouse on Sunday, held every year in January in his honour.

The Oscar-winning actor gave a 10-minute reading from Edgar Allen Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart which he said had a massive influence on his work and his childhood – and believe us when we say it’s everything you’d expect.

‘I used to read when I was a child and it gave me all kinds of nightmares,’ he explained.

‘I think I was trying to make movies on some level to get to the feelings of some of the more manic performances.’



Classic Nic Cage right there folks.

While the C4GED festival has now been running for the last four years, 2017 was the first time the actor crashed the event, which sold out in five minutes.

After sitting through a selection of films from his back catalogue which ran as a 12-hour marathon, the Ghost Rider star also delivered a 47-minute long Q&A session with delighted fans.

And if that that wasn’t enough, Cage also watched over a spontaneous marriage proposal inside the cinema. Awww!
