Several years ago, a photo surfaced of a man from the 1800s who had an eerie resemblance to Nicolas Cage.  Instead of chalking it up to coincidence, a conspiracy theory was formed which suggested that Cage was actually a vampire.  Jack Mord, the man who came up with the theory, stated: “My theory is that he allows himself to age to a certain point, maybe 70, 80 or so, then the actor ‘Nicolas Cage’ will ‘die. But in reality, the undead vampire ‘Nicolas Cage’ will have rejuvenated.” That might be a little tough to do since vampires don’t age.
