1870 Photograph On eBay Proves Nicolas Cage Is Immortal

(source: geeksofdoom.com)

A photograph was recently discovered being sold on eBay. The photo is of a Tennessee man, and it dates back to around the 1860s or 1870s. But the thing about this particular man, is that he looks an awful lot like a one Mr. Nicolas Cage.
So much so that the seller is even using this in his description, claiming the Cage must be some sort of vampire. Now, some have taken the seller to be completely serious in his statements (especially with a Buy It Now price of $1,000,000 set), but as you can see in the Q&A section at the bottom of the page, he’s actually a pretty funny dude and, even though it sounds like a legit 19th century photograph, is likely just having some fun with it (unless, of course, someone actually pays up that kinda coin, in which case he would be a genius).
You can see the image below and read the seller’s description by heading on below now.

 

Original c.1870 carte de visite showing a man who looks exactly like
Nick Cage. Personally, I believe it’s him and that he is some sort of
walking undead / vampire, et cetera, who quickens / reinvents
himself once every 75 years or so. 150 years from now, he might
be a politician, the leader of a cult, or a talk show host.
This is not a trick photo of any kind and has not been manipulated
in Photoshop or any other graphics program. It’s an original photo
of a man who lived in Bristol, TN sometime around the Civil War.
For the many of you insisting that this is a Photoshop manipulation:
Any serious potential buyer will be allowed to have a photo expert
of their choice examine the original photograph before any money
changes hands.
I’ve had a lot of questions asking where I purchased this. As followers
of my website know, I collect antique memorial photography –
images of dead people – from the 1800s. This photo was found in
the very back of album that contained an unusual number of
Civil War era death portraits (which is why I purchased it). All of
the other people in the album, living and dead, were identified
by name – this man was not.

A Naked Man Eating a Fudgesicle Broke Into Nicolas Cage's Bedroom

Nicolas Cage has KO'd a dude dressed in a bear costume. He's jumped out of a plane while dressed like Elvis, swapped faces with John Travolta, hallucinated a break-dancing ghost. And in Drive Angry he angrily drove a muscle car directly into hell . . .while Meat Loaf was blaring on the stereo.
And yet, the old adage remains true: Truth is stranger than fiction. Even when you're Nicolas Cage.
We'd share a few dozen examples, but we're just going to stick with the latest one - a home-intrusion anecdote Cage shared with reporters while talking up his new film Trespass at the Toronto International Film Festival yesterday.
"It was two in the morning. I was living in Orange County at the time and was asleep with my wife. My two-year old at the time was in another room. I opened my eyes and there was a naked man wearing my leather jacket eating a Fudgesicle in front of my bed," said Cage, Reuters reports.
``I know it sounds funny ... but it was horrifying."
Cage explained he stayed cool as a frozen snack treat during the ordeal, however, and managed to talk the stranger into leaving the house, just as the cops arrived to take him away. (Reuters notes that Cage declined pressing charges, since the man was suffering from mental health issues.)
After the incident, Cage explained he was so disturbed he couldn't bear to remain in that particular house.
