adminNOT only is Nicolas Cage a versatile actor, he has also shown off a rather diverse set of hair styles over the years.
And on Monday, he displayed a rather glossy head of dark brown hair at the 39th Deauville American Film Festival. Stepping out on the red carpet with his wife Alice Kim, the 49-year-old star’s hair was markedly different last year when he was pictured with greyer, lighter, and thinner locks.
At the beginning of his career in the early 1980s, the star sported a full head of light brown hair — a big contrast to his current shade.
Cage looked in good spirits as he strolled down the red carpet, a few days after promoting the movie at the Venice Film Festival.
Joe, based on the adaptation of the Larry Brown novel, is a gritty Southern drama which sees Cage play a self-destructive and hard drinking ex-convict who becomes an unlikely role model to a 15-year-old teenage boy portrayed by Tye Sheridan, who comes to work for him.
“The movie is about whatever you want it to be about,” Cage said in Venice. ‘If it is about a social crisis, that’s perfectly a good thing to have it be about. For me, it was just about trying to make the character come to life.”’ The star has also called the role “one of the most memorable” films he has worked on in his 35-year career.
“It was all about finding our way to the truth of Joe,” he said. “If I was going to spin myself in circles, that is what I was going to do.” The actor also said he was still very much enjoying acting, and has no plans for an early retirement from the movie business.
“Film performance is a part of me,” he said. “That is not to say I don’t have fantasies of living a life of contemplation and sitting in the sun, but I can’t just sit by the pool with a Mai Tai. I need to work.”
The actor, who won an Oscar for portraying a suicidal alcoholic in Leaving Las Vegas back in 1996, has already won acclaim from critics for his performance in Joe. David Rooney in the Hollywood Reporter described Cage as giving “one of his most nuanced performances in a long time”, complimenting his “bone-deep characterisation” of the titular role.
And Variety’s Justin Chang compliments Cage’s “excellent, tightly wound performance”, and describes the actor as the film’s main draw.
