30 Of The Best Questions And Answers From Nicolas Cage’s “Ask Me Anything” Reddit Session
People say it was one of the best AMAs ever.
The "Ask Me Anything" subreddit was founded in May 2009 and has since grown to become one of Reddit's most popular communities. Interviewees for the AMA have varied from celebrities to average folks in a variety of fields.
Occasionally, the subreddit has delightful surprises. Nicolas Cage, who is notoriously anti-internet, recently made an unexpected appearance online.
The iconic actor participated in a Reddit 'Ask Me Anything' (AMA), where he directly answered everyday people's questions about his life, career, Hollywood, and bees, as part of a promotional campaign for the upcoming film The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. While some celebrities appear uninterested, if not contemptuous, during these sessions, Cage approached the situation in a fun, honest manner, and his thread quickly became a pure delight.
While others do it simply as a publicity stunt, this great actor truly showed that he cares about his audience (and even those who don't like him). We have selected 30 of the most interesting questions and answers, and we know you are going to love them.
They provide us with a wonderful opportunity to get to know Nicolas better, and we are so glad we had this chance.

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!"
