Nicolas Cage: Hair Evolution Throughout the Years
Posted by Craig Kessler on June 3, 2010 at 2:30 am
Nicolas Cage, love him or hate him has been a movie star on the big screen for years now. Ever since an early cameo on one of my beloved movies Fast Times at Ridgemont High, he has slowly been a force racking up role after role, and making a name for himself. He has shown range as an actor and although he started out as more of a character actor and a loveable guy, transformed himself into an action hero. This move has had its ups and down, especially in the most recent years after a few movies tanked, but The Rock is still one of my favorite movies of all time. Nicolas Cage hasn’t had his acting style change over time. He also has had one other piece transform from year to year, and from film to film.
His hair
For a guy with a receding hairline, his hair style has changed so much throughout the years and for the characters he has played. I’m not sure if this has been a direct result of Hollywood directors asking for a certain style, or Cage decided he just wanted to dice up that rug on his head.
Apparently recognizing this, Derek Eads has created the Nic Cage Hair Timeline, chronicling 19 of the thespian’s greatest cinematic coiffures, from 1982’s Fast Times at Ridgemont High to (I think) 2010’s Season of the Witch. Can you name the others?
