PopWatch Petition: Stop with the long hair, Nicolas Cage

Cagebangkok_lI’d been blissfully unaware of Nicolas Cage’s new release, Bangkok Dangerous, until this morning, when I was optically assaulted by the photo of him accompanying Josh Rich’s Box Office Preview.

STOP WITH THE LONG HAIR, NICOLAS CAGE. Rich may estimate that your Hong Kong action remake will debut at No. 1, but you won’t even get me to watch the trailer. I know that you’re dedicated to your craft, and that you have a history of controversial hairdos assumed for various roles, but I need to ask you to let this one go.

Sign our petition below, if you agree. If another bad hairdo has ever stopped you from seeing a film, feel free to sound off on it as well. (Our old Cruelest Cuts gallery is full of inspiration.)

    First time I saw the trailer I thought it starred Gene Simmons.

  • Chris

    I’m more of the opinion that he should at least try some sideburns for once alongside his weirdo mop.

  • Sara

    He looks like an overly styled skeleton.

  • Meredith

    Yes, for the love of all that’s good, please get rid of that hair. As for a time when I skipped a movie because of hair–the Da Vinci Code. I wasn’t really looking forward to it anyway, but that hair of Tom Hanks was the final nail in the coffin.

  • An emphatic hell yeah

    signed, Elizabeth.
    PLease add Mark-Paul Gosselar too

  • Sara

    As soon as I saw the poster for this movie, featuring Nic Cage in all his greasy long haired glory, I said, “No thanks.” Haven’t even seen a trailer, and don’t intend to either. Please Nic Cage, ditch the long hair and never let it come back.
    And I too skipped “The Da Vinci Code” because of Tom Hanks’ icky long hair. As if the story wasn’t ridiculous enough to begin with, that horrible hairdo just put it over the top.

    A group of us we’re just watching National Treasure 1 and the whole time I was like “Uggh his hair…ughhh do you see that…it’s awful.” Eventually my sister joined in on the fun.

    Yikes, sorry for the triple post!

  • Mavis

    Yes! Please cut that hair! And while your at it, stop with the plastic surgery already! You now look like Joan River’s brother!

  • Stephanie T.

    Yeah, he’s got to stop with the long hair. Prince valliant cuts don’t look well with men who have the head shape of a peanut M&M. Ie- Steve Valentine of Crossing Jordan fame.

  • Snarf

    It’s like the mutant offspring of Kirk’s Toupee and a some road kill. Just. Stop. It. Now.

  • Ep Sato

    I keep thinking “Mcvinci” for some reason.
    Now, who wants to bet David Spade will make a joke about this in a few weeks?

  • Liddy

    That guy gives me the creeps, I don’t care what his hair looks like. How did this man get to be an actor? Oh, right, the rest of his family is famous.

  • Kelly

    Does having nasty looking long stringy hair somehow make him better for the role he’s playing? I wouldn’t think so…. Please cut your hair! It looks hideous!!!

  • arryana

    stop with the hair…as a matter of fact, stop with any and all movies until you’re old enough to play the role you were born to play – mr. howell on the big screen adaptation of gilligan’s island. you KNOW it’s only a matter of time before hollywood trots out that flick!

  • Rob Grizzly

    *signing petition*
    That’s “Grizzly” with two z’s…

  • tce26

    Make it stop! Make it stop! Or at least give his greasy hair it’s own movie…

  • Chicago48

    Arrayana took my thoughts. Yeh, Nic….stop! but folks that’s a “hair piece” and not his real hair I do believe.

  • Ariana

    He looks more like a strung-out Iggy Pop than some Bkk hustler (poor Igster!!).

  • Michael C Fester

    Nick, please let the ELVIS IN YOU GO FOREVER you don’t look like him and you never will.GROW UP

  • Michael C Fester

    Nick, please let the ELVIS IN YOU GO FOREVER you don’t look like him and you never will.GROW UP

  • KG

    it’s not THAT bad… ever since i first saw the jonas brothers on tv all other hairstyles didn’t seem as bad anymore.

  • Amy

    It really doesn’t matter because for some reason I can’t pass up seeing a Nicholas Cage film. Strange.

  • John

    YOU ARE ALL RETARDS….!!!! Let the man cut his hair however he wants. How is it your business.

  • nagateot

    Apparently, you don’t know a hair piece when you see one. In case you think I’m wrong, watch the movie “Raising Arizona”. He can do whatever he wants to with the hair he buys.

  • Vanessa

    The movie was awesome!! He’s an amazing actor and about his long hair, it’s nice to see something different. It gives him a different persona and I was able to take his role more seriously than I would if he had his usual short hair. :)

    I don’t really care about his hair (even though it is ridiculous). I don’t watch Nicolas Cage movies anymore. He had a few moments when I thought he would end up being a good actor, but no. His movies have been so silly as of late that I can’t watch them anymore…and I LOVE movies.
