The actor also opened up about becoming an internet meme
Later in the conversation, Cage expressed his views on the iconic memes that were made about him on the internet. He said,
“I might have been the first actor who went through a kind of meme-ification,” adding, “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.”
The actor pointed out that people who make those memes didn’t understand how much effort he put into those characters. It baffled him that people were making jokes about those serious characters. Cage has starred in over 110 movies throughout his four-decade-long career and has many more projects lined up. As for retirement, Cage doesn’t even think about it.
