Is Nicolas Cage a Vampire from the Civil War Era?

By CASSANDRA ARSENAULT
Could Nicolas Cage be a vampire? A Civil War era photo that bears an eerie resemblance to Cage has sparked rumors that the actor is a real-life vampire.
Cage has starred in “Vampire’s Kiss” and played a demonic role in “Ghost Rider.” For most, his connection to the bloodsucking species ends there. Not so for Jack Mord, an antiques dealer who got the rumor mill cooking when he posted a photograph for sale on eBay of a man he says is from Bristol, Tenn., around 1870, and he says can be no one else but Cage.
Mord believes Cage is a vampire who reinvents himself every 75 years or so.
“Personally, I believe it’s him and that he is some sort of walking undead/vampire, et cetera, who quickens/reinvents himself once every 75 years or so,” he wrote in the post, which has since been removed. “150 years from now, he might be a politician, the leader of a cult, or a talk show host.”
Mord claims that the supposedly 47-year-old actor looks virtually unchanged since his first big hit “Moonstruck” all the way back in 1987 — more “proof.”
The seller is so confident that the person in the photo is Cage that he said: “Any serious potential buyer will be allowed to have a photo expert of their choice examine the original photograph before any money changes hands.” The photo was offered at a price of $1 million, but it has since been removed.
Unfortunately, there’s one small problem with this bold claim. Vampire experts have been buzzing since the news about Mr. Vampire Cage broke — because a vampire cannot be photographed!
Makes you think though. Have you ever seen Nicolas Cage during the day or admiring his reflection in the mirror?

Who sais vampired cannot be photographed that myth came about because of Bram Stokers novel but if you look further back in history there is no record of that myth about being able to photograph a vampire..

Perfectly said, I agree whole heartedly with Jeremiah and believe without a doubt vampires exist!

The movie is Ghost Rider, not Ghost Fighter. Cage has been filmed during the daytime many times. In the movie Vampire’s Kiss he is seen in a mirror shaving.
Why does he have to be a vampire? He could have simply traveled back in time and had the photo taken.

Americans are complete idiots. LOOK AT THIS MANS EARS, they are not the same. SO WHAT, he looks like Cage big deal, proves squat. This guy is like 5’6″, Cage is like 5’11″ to 6′. This is a complete waste of time.

I have a picture of Adam and Eve back when they were in the Garden of Eden and you would be amazed at how much Adam looks like Nicolas Cage! When he was Adam his ears were more pointed, his nose was smaller, his eyes were a different color, and he was only 5 ft 6, but it was definitely him!!!
Seriously?!! Is this man for real?
Posted by: April | September 21, 2011, 10:15 pm 10:15 pm
different ears. Cage does not have a dimple on his chin. The Civil war guy has a rectangular forehead, Cage has an oval. Similarities in the chin line, cheek line ,but shape of eyes is even very different way the lids fall. So obviously not Cage, but GREAT PR for him! Did Cage pay this guy????

This photo looks “altered” in a way…Does not look like a normal picture…It looks like someone pasted his face in the picture…(MY OPINION)
Posted by: amanda | September 21, 2011, 10:31 pm 10:31 pm
Vampires? Really people?
When did we become such a gullible and uneducated nation? An obscene percentage of Americans believe in Jesus, Ghosts, Vampires… I would not be at all surprised to hear that a large percentage also believe in The Easter Bunny and Santa!!!
Posted by: Marcus | September 21, 2011, 10:35 pm 10:35 pm
The ears dont even come close to resembling one anothers.
I cant believe im actually debunking a claim that Nic Cage (or anyone for that matter) is a vampire.
Retards.

except for the ears
Posted by: Nick | September 21, 2011, 10:39 pm 10:39 pm
Cage and the guy in the old photo do look a lot alike but not enough to make the claim that its Cage. LOL That is too funny. I know one thing thats pretty interesting… did you know that Nicolas Cage and Marilyn Manson (without the make up) look scary alike? Google it and check it out on You tube. Too true!
Posted by: StarScream | September 21, 2011, 10:41 pm 10:41 pm
The form of the ears is totally different. Also Nicolas Cage’ forehead is more rounded and bigger than that of the other man. ;-)

Pretty eerie! Maybe this guy was a relative. Or maybe Cage is the reincarnation of this guy.

Vampires can totally still have plastic surgery. Cage has obviously had his ears pinned. WE ARE ON TO YOU, MR. CAGE!
Posted by: danielle | September 21, 2011, 11:24 pm 11:24 pm
Ears, chin, lots of differences. Besides, one would think that a man who had lived for many years would have developed a little wisdom along the way. That would have prevented losing his home(s) in foreclosure. Cage is a great actor. Not an immortal.
Nice Halloween story.

Don’t say: “Americans are complete idiots for believing this Civil War dude is Nicolas Cage.” Instead, say: “Americans are complete idiots” And in other news, this Civil War guy is neither a vampire nor Nicolas Cage.”…and for those who continue to say “slow news day, ABC??” apparently every day is a slow news day for ABC. Since the death of newspaper journalism, they’ve stopped caring.

Funny, I’ve been telling my wife that I think all the flood of recent vampire movies and TV shows are just part of a vampire agenda to get people to think of them as just regular folks that live among us. Anybody notice how they are portrayed as the good guys with just a few bad apples? Hmmmm. ; – )
Posted by: dan | September 22, 2011, 1:47 am 1:47 am
Vampires can’t be photographed, it is believed that because it is clearly stated they do not have reflections so thus when the invention of the camera came about it was just believed that since a camera uses a set of mirrors and a flash to make a photograph that it isn’t possible for them to be photographed.
Posted by: Jason | September 22, 2011, 1:48 am 1:48 am
That photo looks totally fake notice how his face is pointed straight at the camera but his head is looking to his right. Anyone whose ever taken a photography class could have made that photo with Photoshop, and it looks like they did a poor job of it.
Posted by: Justin | September 22, 2011, 2:39 am 2:39 am
Well, in the light of Halloween…if he is a vampire, there is the “possiblity” of myths in which we believe vampires can and cannot do. Perhaps photography and daylight is a part of that. I think a lot of people is vamp crazed since Twilight came out so, its all in good fun.

Pa-leease, get a freakin clue, here’s a news flash, there are NO vampires, this is why we have so many adult like children, they cannot tell the difference between fantasy and reality. Their heads are screwed up by video games and hollywood. 30 yr. olds living in their parents basements play games and watching the vampire shows.

EARS AND CHIN ARE NOT THE SAME.
Both look extremely alike. But definitely not the same person AT ALL.
and the fact that we have people dying in other countries and very important issues happening in our own country and our news is wasting money putting out this story? REALLY???!!?? SMH that’s just sad. ALSO why are they even questioning this photo in the first place??? That’s just ignorance. What crack head came up with the idea to air this story. SERIOUSLY.

@Amanda: do children count in that percentage? At least you don’t consider them obscene. Whew! Also, I’m amused you said “become gullible and uneducated”. If your yardstick included Jesus Christ, I think you’re going to have a few centuries worth of American history to cover. In general, “gullible and uneducated” has been pretty much the national consensus for some time. I think it’s on the $100 dollar bill.
On a more tangential point, I can’t believe how many comments there are about this. Really? Nic Cage as a vampire gets people fired up? If anything, he’s a wizard. Oh, there was a movie about that! Well, that solves that.
Posted by: DTK404 | September 23, 2011, 12:54 pm 12:54 pm
He’s not a vampire. He is just a guy who can barely act, but in his spare time he wonders around the world looking for others like himself and attempts to chop their heads off with his hidden sword. After all, “THERE CAN BE ONLY 1 ! “
Posted by: ASG | September 23, 2011, 2:49 pm 2:49 pm
This is CLEARLY a fake… Anyone with even basic Photoshop skills can pull this off. Is this REALLY what makes the news these days? Hey I got photos of THE REAL EASTER BUNNY and guess what.. it’s MICKY ROURKE!
Posted by: Matt | September 23, 2011, 4:19 pm 4:19 pm
I studied facial characters in school. The man in the older picture has broken his nose and his jaw is lower then Nicholas Cage’s. These can be altered But you would have to re-brake the nose which would make it larger not smaller. Even if you believe in vampires (which I’m not inclined to at this time) the resemblance is not close enough to rouse suspicion. Unless of course the person is looking for it (or crazy)

Posted by: mc | September 24, 2011, 7:55 am 7:55 am
“….because a vampire cannot be photographed!”
Yeah, and they couldn’t be outside in daylight until the Twighlight Saga came along. The Cullens it seems found a loophole that all other vampires for the last 1000 years never figured out.
Maybe Nick Cage figured out how to be photographed. I mean, its a must for a vampire that likes to be a movie actor.

hehe I bet you this is cage trying to get money to get out of debt. Think about it a normal person would sell it for a couple thousand. NOT 1 MILLION DOLLARS. And with cage saying “no comment” I think hes in on it.
Posted by: Bryan | September 24, 2011, 2:26 pm 2:26 pm
Why do my posts explaining that Nick Cage steals souls of children being taken down. They are only up for a matter of minutes before his goons take them down. As I explained earlier, all you have to do is look at the hospital records in towns he has lived in. There will be a great deal more death and disease in children and he is clearly to blame. We have already established that vampires must be able to act in order to assume new identidies and everyone knows that Cage can not act. Therefore, he can not be a vampire. Except for his stunning portrayal of an idiot in Raising Arizona, he is never believable. And we all know the best person to play an idiot is an idiot.

Ever heard of genetics? Nick Cage and this guy probably have a distant relation. To all the photoshop people out there I’ve met people who look almost exactly alike and are not directly related. Celebrities hire look a likes all the time to keep the paparazzi off their backs. So they look alike BIG DEAL. It’s often said there’s another version of all of us out there somewhere.
I looked in the mirror the other day and it was weird how much I looked like my grandfather. My relatives say I look just like my dad when he was my age..
love the dumb articles.

Having a video play with audio enabled as soon as I visit your website is beyond annoying. I was listening to music and suddenly some ad is blasting at full volume on my 5.1 speaker system for all my neighbors to hear while I frantically search for the mute button. I make a blacklist of all news sites that do this and refuse to visit them again. I expect pr0n sites to do this, but not reputable news sites. Please remove these types of ads. Thank you.

Cage is a vampire … based on a *single* photograph with mismatching ears? Oh right ….
But this is great publicity for Cage whose career needs a shot in the arm after many so-so or bad movies. Yet Cage showed he had great talent as a quirky younger actor – who can forget Wild At Heart or Leaving Las Vegas? Those were good pieces of work. He could have followed the shrewd marketing tactics of a J Depp or a J Nicolson who strategically picked their quality roles to match their quality quirkiness. For whatever reason, Cage started doing also-ran car chase movies, the unfortunately neutered remake of The Wicker Man, and all the rest of it. The Knowing was a move back towards the right direction for Cage.
I for one want to see N Cage back on form as an actor. Cage needs to work with some great indie art cinema directors to reinvent himself and re-establish his cred as a serious actor. How about going European or Indie for a while Nick? You need someone like a Werner Herzog or a Polanksi, or, even better, an up and coming star art cinema director. Then you need to restrain your standard mannerisms and act with skill and subtlety.

If I were a vampire, I’d spend my whole, long, undead life spreading the silly idea that REAL vampires don’t show up in pictures. It’s the prefect alibi.

Ok for one, those of you who are trash talking Nicolas, you all seriously need to get a life and leave the man alone, and two, that other man could very well be a decendant of his, thus the resemblance.

Ok, Nicolas Cage is not a vampire. This Could very well possibly be a relative or even photoshopped but Cage’s ears are not that big, The nose isn’t the same, and Vampires don’t age, Nick is aging. Come on media, don’t you have anything better to write about? Pathetic!

This dude selling the picture just wants money . Okay this world surprises every one with the things that people thought to be in legends are real . But seriously … Won’t they take the time too compare . L o s e r s .! this is a bunch of BS . Clearly Nick is N O VAMPIRE . I agree people have been reading too much Twilight even I got into those books that I was all like vampire this . This guy selling the picture is a total N i m r o d .

Could one more person please make the point that they don’t have the same forehead, ears, or chin. I don’t think that point has sunk in yet! You know how I know it’s not the same guy? Because one of the pictures was taken during the Civil War. Calm down, everyone. It’s just for fun. It’s just another story about how Nic Cage is kinda creepy. Are the bulk of you so insecure about your own intelligence that you have to call strangers idiots for enjoying a silly story? No one thinks Cage is a vampire. Nobody really thinks about him at all. And to the guy who said he was a highlander: Connor MacLeod is the highlander because he’s from the highlands of Scotland. The rest are just immortals.

Ok I got a giggle out of this but really? Let’s assume for just a second Vampires are real. It really looks nothing like him. The guy in the photo has darker eyes (even in black and white photos brown eyes are easily distinguished from blue). The ears are totally different, the nostrils are different, the hair and jaw lines different and lips are a completely different shape. So… Aside from the fact that there’s no such thing as vampires (tho I admit I wish there were, because I’d love to be one) they look nothing alike when you get past the first glance.

Oh my god! I knew it was him. It’s my old colonel from the 44th regiment! We served together and fought against those yankees. He was a great man. I always thought he got his legs blown off in the trenches. Well, vampires can heal pretty well.

Ok… So I am not saying either way whether this is really cage or a creepy look-alike but the slight differances in appearance could easily be altered by todays technology, I mean heck plastic surgery could fix his ears! But I mean come on, the dude has the same style in both pictures; wide lapel jacket, hair style is crazy similar, his eyebrows are identical, his bone structure is exactly the same, his eyes are the same just slightly squinted in the 1870 picture, his mouth / permafrown are the same, even the way he is balding is the same, he has the same dimple in both pictures, he has the exact same dent in his nose at the top of the bridge, the vein in his temple on the left side of his head is identical, the way his hair is cut above his sideburns is erily similar and not normal, the smile lines on either side of his mouth are the same shape, width, and length, and his facial expressions are the same in both pictures! I mean like I said I am not saying it is him but it is a definate possibility, I didn’t even believe in vampires until I saw this but I can truly say this has made me a believer!!! I can’t wait to do more research about this, I might even go rent the Twilight movies!!!

He reinvents himself as a prominent public figure every 75 years or so? Well that makes sense. I mean, what better way to hide the fact that you have been a vampire for generations than to become a world famous actor and then “start over” as the next US president in 2075? Yeah, no body would notice that. Good thing this Mord guy is so perceptive. Nothing gets past him, I’m sure.

i belive that we have no clue what vampires are nor what they do wear,eat,show up in,if they even hide,or if they even exist.no one has poof of them.intill they catch a vampire if they do exist we will not know.as for cage the picturesdo not match each other i think they should have someone that knows what they are talking about to compare them and set the truth stright.

I bet Cage loves this- that’s why he’s not commenting, he probably wishes it were true. This is RIGHT up his alley. If any actor was going to be a vampire, it would be him. He’s subtle in the sense that he’s very interested in that type of genre and he has an off beat vibe to him (hence his son being named Kal-el (aka Superman)), but he’s not so eccentric that people automatically think along those lines..for example, he’s not Gene Simmons in his KISS get up. If I believed in vampires (which I’m not saying one way or another (at the risk of being called an idiot American) I wouldn’t be surprised if Cage was one.
Posted by: Melissa | November 10, 2011, 10:53 pm 10:53 pm
this could just be a relative of his, probably from his mothers side since francis ford coppola is nicholas cage’s paternal uncle. that and the ears do not match. but i highly doubt he is a vampire cause i HIGHLY doubt that the biggest film director/producer of ALL time will go along with the lie that nicholas cage is his nephew.

Mental. People who remotely see cage in this picture are mentally retarded and partially sighted. And vampires… Seek medical advice please.

Yes, he is a vampire. I’ve known him for centuries.

Come on, vampires don’t exist. Clearly, this is Cage’s clone from the future who will, in about thirty years from now, travel back in time to the nineteenth century and have his photograph taken, so that the real Nic Cage, whom he despises (despised? will despise?), would eventually be accused of being a vampire.

He bit me and drank my blood once. True story!

Wow… people have some whacked out comments here. I doubt both that it is Nic Cage or that the antique photo has been manipulated. People, have you never experienced look alikes? I have photos of my great grandmother that are so staggeringly identical to myself in my late teens that it looks like i put my image into them…but i didnt. We are just generational dopplegangers (spelling?) Ive also stumbled across a photo on ancestry.com that is from a very very early age of film photography that could easily be my husbands twin from another era. Furthermore, not all Americans are stupid. Most… not all. How else would george bush been re-elected?

I am an government agent who studies mythical creatures such as vampires, werewolves, and wizards. Truly enough, I have discovered that Vampires and Wizards exist,but he is not one. The characteristics do not match up. First off, Vampires CANNOT withstand large amounts of light such as the lights that directors use in their movies and Two; they do not want to much publicity and that is why they hunt at night and do not make a big deal obout their kills to just anyone at all.

Anyone care to comment? Good.

LOL @ the idiot who said the 1800 guy has a rectangular forehead and cage has an oval forehead…… no….. the guy in the pic isn’t balding and cage’s hairline is running away from his face so fast it will be at his ass soon…

Look, the simple fact is, real vampires do exist, but we don’t live forever. We don’t have special “powers” or super strength or speed. We’re not a different species and we don’t have retractable fangs. We’re just ordinary people with a misunderstood condition. Anyone who claims otherwise is a fool and is just looking for attention.

I could do this in 10 minutes on photoshop. The question is if its a legit picture or a print someone made. any way funny as hell.

There’s no such thng as vampires.

@jeremiah, looking further back in history has no bearing on whether or not vampires could be photographed. They couldn’t photograph back then.

LEAVE THE MAN ALONE!!!! LOOK I LOVE VAMPIRES AND I LOVE NICOLAS CAGE, BUT IF HE SAYS HE’S NOT A VAMPIRE, HE’S NOT A VAMPIRE. LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!!! NO ONE IS IMMORTAL BUT JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD!!!

Funny. Lighten up people. It’s just harmless fun. He’s probably not a vampire, but who knows. Anything’s possible. It DOES look almost exactly like him, though. Ya’know whatevs. Maybe he is.
And maybe Miley Cyrus is a vampire. The world may never know.

@AGENT SMITH…. THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS AS VAMPIRES, WEREWOLVES, OR WIZARDS. YOU ARE A DAGUM IDIOT IF YOU THINK ANYONE WILL BELIEVEYOU!
Posted by: ashleigh | February 10, 2012, 9:53 pm 9:53 pm
Seriously, people…you all need to calm down… This is just a funny thing to joke around about. The pic looks VERY much like Cage. This is just for fun.

Cage v Christ. Let’s get ready to rumble
Posted by: Rod | February 11, 2012, 2:21 am 2:21 am
Maybe the Vampires started the myth about not being able to photograph them so that no one would even bother trying and they could keep reinventing themselves.
Posted by: Rage NLN | February 11, 2012, 8:32 am 8:32 am
Finally, a compelling reason for Nicholas Cage’s success. The guy can’t act, never could, never will. However, if he were a vampire one could surmise how he could have scored so many top roles.
Posted by: james jamsicon | February 11, 2012, 9:49 am 9:49 am
Remember in the first ghost rider movie…Nicholas Cage was seen in a mirror seen when he was doing the daredevil stunt…he was in his motorcycle outfit…..Anyone remember that?
Posted by: Dee | February 11, 2012, 4:44 pm 4:44 pm
Nick is Longinus!

Anyone who doesn’t realize that Cage is a vampire is a complete idiot. This is proof. What more do you want? He’s just denying it so Twihards don’t start stalking him and begging him to turn them so that they can live out their fantasies of being a vampire in an abusive *cough* ideal and dream relationship.

If there’s any celebrities that look exactly the same as they did 20 years ago….look up Keanu Reeves, and Cindy Crawford. They haven’t changed practically a damn bit. Lol. Seriously
Posted by: Cindy | February 15, 2012, 1:28 am 1:28 am
Also, who knows, maybe that was Nicolas Cage in a past life.
Posted by: Cindy | February 15, 2012, 1:30 am 1:30 am
What the heck, people? Do you seriously believe Nicholas Cage is a… VAMPIRE? Ha ha! What if it’s one of his great-great grand-uncles he never met or something? Use logic.
Posted by: Cassie | February 15, 2012, 2:04 am 2:04 am
People!!! Its all true an i am coming for him
Posted by: Buffy | February 17, 2012, 10:51 pm 10:51 pm
He still could be a vampire even if the photos taken. He could have been changed after the photo.
