Nicolas Cage Reveals Surprising Inspiration For His Character In Longlegs

Longlegs

Nicolas Cage recently attended the premiere of Neon's 'Longlegs' at The Egyptian Theatre Hollywood in Los Angeles, California. In the horror thriller, Cage portrays the character of Longlegs, a demented criminal who has evaded authorities for over three decades. The film also stars Maika Monroe as FBI Special Agent Lee Harker, who is tasked with capturing Longlegs.

Surprisingly, Cage revealed that the inspiration for his unsettling character came from his late mother, Joy Vogelsang. While the character in the film is far from his mother in terms of satanic worship and occult practices, Cage found elements of his mother's persona that he incorporated into his portrayal of Longlegs.
