Nicolas Cage radiated star power on Tuesday as he made his way through LAX airport in a flashy ensemble.

The enigmatic 54-year-old actor donned a brown leopard-print leather jacket with a black T-shirt with a Manga graphic across the front of it. He rounded out his flashy ensemble with black leather pants with black shoes and sunglasses.

The Leaving Las Vegas star had his hair slicked back and sported a goatee as he made his way through the busy travel terminal.

The Academy Award-winning actor earlier this week opened up to IndieWire about the proliferation of memes featuring over-the-top facial expressions he's made in films including Vampire Kiss, Face/Off and Con Air.

'The issue is, with the advent of the internet, doing these mashups, where they pull these choice moments without the context of the whole film around it to support it, has created this meme-ification, if you will,' Cage told the outlet. 'It’s been branded Cage Rage, and it’s frustrating.'

Cage has been promoting his new VOD thriller Mandy, which has already spawned a few memes circulating online, including one in which his face is slathered in blood.

The actor said the spread of memes must be 'frustrating for' the film's director, Panos Cosmatos, who has made 'a very lyrical, internal, and poetic work of art' with the motion picture, which had a positive reception upon its Sundance debut earlier this year.

'It’s one thing for me, because I’d like to think I could continue to work with Panos, but the internet has kind of done the movie a disservice,' Cage said. 'I think that the movie haven’t been given perhaps a fair viewing by virtue of the fact that the internet has mashed them up with these moments that have been cherry-picked, that aren’t really in the context of the character or how the character got there.'

The actor acknowledged that some of the roles he's played lend themselves to outrageous moments.

'I did make certain choices to realize my abstract and more ontological fantasies with film performance,' he said, 'by playing people who were crazy, or by playing people who were on drugs, or supernaturally possessed - so that I have the license, if you will, to explore the German Expressionistic style of acting, or the Western kabuki. Whatever you want to call it.'
