Nicolas Cage had to be convinced to take on the role of himself in the upcoming film "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent." The actor revealed the role "scared the crap out of" him during the SXSW Film Festival premiere at the Paramount Theater.
In the film, Cage agrees to appear at a billionaire's birthday but ends up becoming a CIA informant and has to rescue his daughter from a drug lord. Cage stars alongside Pedro Pascal, Lily Sheen, Jacob Scipio and Alessandra Mastronardi.
"It was a high wire, it was terrifying," Cage explained of taking on the role. "No muscle in my body told me to play any version of myself in a movie. And because it scared the crap out of me, I knew I had to do it."
