Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet the Most Famous Nicolas Cage Impersonator (In Italy)!

Every now and again, we get so bogged down with all the gossip bullsh happening here in the States that we forget, for a moment, that there are other, way more hilarious things happening across the globe. As is the case with the following item, where Page Six tells us the story of Italy’s most famous Nicolas Cage Impersonator, a man named Paolo Calabresi, who used his hangdog face to get a front row seat at a high profile soccer match:

IF you want to be treated like a movie star, it helps to look like one. That’s what Italian TV personality Paolo Calabresi, a Nicolas Cage lookalike, discovered by posing as the actor at the Real Madrid-AS Roma game last week in Madrid. Sports Illustrated reports the Cage impersonator “was treated like a star” by team owners, who gave him a special jersey. Calabresi, who spoke English with a thick Italian accent, told the newspaper Marca that he “was a little scared they would find me out but that, from the first moment, everyone was friendly.”

We’re not sure what is more disturbing: That this guy looks like both Nicolas Cage AND John Turturro, or that the Real Madrid soccer team would lose their stool over an actor who himself spends his days as Vampire Elvis.

Either way… WIN WIN! Two Cages are better than No Cages At All. And Two Cages where one Cage can also teach you something about wine is really the best situation one could find themselves in.
