Nicolas Cage Shares 1 Thing He's 'Terrified' Will Happen After He Dies
HuffPost
“I mean, what are you going to do with my body and my face when I’m dead?” Cage pondered Monday.
Nicolas Cage is worried that Hollywood will “steal” his face and body once he’s dead.
The “Face/Off” star admitted as much in an interview Monday with The New Yorker and, while he’s primarily concerned about Hollywood’s burgeoning use of artificial intelligence, Cage has also been used for viral internet memes since 2009 — and he still isn’t used to it.
The topic came up mid-interview when Cage noted he has to get a “scan” or two done.
“Well, they have to put me in a computer and match my eye color and change — I don’t know,” he told the outlet. “They’re just going to steal my body and do whatever they want with it via digital A.I. ... God, I hope not A.I. I’m terrified of that. I’ve been very vocal about it.”
Cage has starred in 120 films and has portrayed virtually every archetype there is, from reluctant hero and heartthrob to villainous vampire. The actor, who’s played a resourceful thief — and has seen his face stolen on-screen before — is now worried about life imitating art.
