Popular actor Nicolas Cage recently expressed his frustration and difficulty at seeing his work become a viral meme.In a recent interview with The Guardian, Cage described coming to terms with his work becoming a meme, as well as his eventual disappointment that more critical discourse didn’t materialize from it. “I might have been the first actor who went through a kind of meme-ification,” Cage said. “One person had cherrypicked from all these different movies where I was having meltdowns, but without any regard for how the character got to that place. I was frustrated because I didn’t know what people were taking from the movies other than that.” Perhaps the best example of this cherry-picking without acknowledgment of his work is the “Nicholas Cage Freak-Out Montage” on YouTube, which spells his name wrong and has over 1.6 million views.”I didn’t understand how to process what was happening,” Cage continued. “I got into acting because I was moved by film performance more than any other art form. I didn’t get into movies to become a meme. That was new. I made friends with it but it was an adjustment. I thought maybe they would compel someone to go back and look at the movies. But I had no control over it. The same thing happens with Paul in Dream Scenario: he has no control over this inexplicable phenomenon.”How a Nicolas Cage Viral Video Led to His Next Film
