Nicolas Cage isn’t afraid of making a statement.
The ever-eccentric “Face/Off” actor — who once came close to buying a cave full of bats so he could go spelunking in the nude, and at one point was the proud owner of a two-headed snake — has a new hairstyle, and it’s as wild as his personality.
Cage, 58, debuted a bright red dye job late last week, along with a goatee — although he opted out of coloring his facial hair to match his Manic Panic-looking mane.
“Cool red hair,” one fan commented on a fan account’s post showing off the Oscar winner’s new ‘do, while multiple others dropped strings of fire emojis to show their approval.
“A goat with a goatee,” another person quipped.
While the actor’s transformed his tresses numerous times for roles — going gray and scruffy for 2021’s “Pig,” fluffy and sun-streaked for 1983’s “Valley Girl,” loose and wavy for 1997’s “Con Air,” etc. — he typically sticks to his signature dark cropped coif in his day-to-day life, making this fiery red hue a departure.
It’s not the only major change for Cage these days; in April, the “Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent” star revealed he and his fifth wife, 27-year-old Riko Shibata, are expecting a baby girl named Lennon Augie (in honor of John Lennon and Cage’s father, August Coppola).
Hopefully the actor will take his daughter’s future hair experimentations in stride.
