The Gone In 60 Seconds star has said that he is not interested in watching his latest movie The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent which sees him playing a fictionalised version of himself.
“I’m never going to see that movie. I’m told it’s a good movie,” Cage told Collider. “My manager Mike Nilon, who is also a producer on it, looked at it. He was very happy. I’m told the audience loved the movie".
Cage continued, “But it’s just too much of a whacked-out trip for me to go to a movie theatre and watch me play [director] Tom Gormican’s highly neurotic, anxiety-ridden version of me. Because he kept pushing me in that direction".
“I said: ‘Tom, that’s not really me. I’m really [made of] quiet, meditative, thoughtful moments. I’m not this neurotic, high-strung, anxiety-ridden guy all the time".
"But he said: ‘Well, neurotic Cage is the best Cage.’ I said: ‘Okay, okay. Let’s go, man. I’ll do what you want".
“I won’t see it. But I do hope you enjoy it", he added.
