The Craziest Nicholas Cage Cameo You've Never Seen Comes From a 1989 Film Called NEVER ON A TUESDAY
I have never seen the 1989 film Never On a Tuesday, and chances are a lot of you have never seen it either. Well, the movie features a 40-second Nicholas Cage cameo and it’s easily one of the weirdest and craziest roles Cage has played.
He plays a complete weirdo with a giant fake nose driving around in a Ferrari. When talking about how the character came to be, the director of the film, Adam Rifkin, explained to EW:
“The way it worked with Nicolas Cage is, he was given free rein to do whatever he wanted. That was the caveat. He said he'd do it if he could do whatever he wanted. So, he came, with a big rubber nose, that he wanted applied, and he wanted to play this insane character, which we thought was hilarious.
“Now, there's an uncut version of his scene that needs to be unearthed, from somewhere, where he says way more crazy things. That is not the version that ended up in the final film, sadly. But, now, I wish we could find it, because it's really really bizarre. But that's the story of how his character ended up in the film and became such a weird character.”
