David Letterman Presses Nicolas Cage On His Alleged Vampirism

Ever since the enormous success of Ghost Rider, Nicolas Cage has been considered the greatest actor to ever live. But that raises the question; just how long has Mr. Cage been alive? Is it possible that the Ghost is also a vampire? Recently, a Civil War-era photograph has surfaced on the Internet, revealing what appears to be Nicolas Cage, circa 1860. Cage appeared on David Letterman’s Late Show to explain the National Treasure. Typical of vampire behavior, Cage denied the claims.

When pressed by Letterman about the issue, Cage responded, “Now look, I don’t drink blood and last time I looked in the mirror, I had a reflection. So I am not going with his vampire theory.”

The “doppelgänger” photo was originally for sale on eBay, but the item has since been removed.
