This AMA feels even more special since you can't simply follow Cage.

"I hate social media," he directly told reporters on one occasion. "I'm from another time. I'm kicking and screaming. I don't have Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram."

"I want to maintain whatever golden age, mysterious aura I can keep because I don't want to be a part of that club," he said.

Cage added that an online connection is ridiculous compared to the one we can have in the real world. "Everything is a tweet now," he said.

"It's disappointing, especially for someone like me. I want to meet people; I want to have a conversation. I'm not interested in Instagram!"
