As society enters the much-needed Nic Cage renaissance, we are blessed with more tidbits about the legendary actor every single day. Today, Cage has decided he would love to do a movie with The Muppets, and now we cannot rest until it happens.
In a new Twitter interview with Nic Cage that just consists of him reading tweets about himself (that’s a thing now), Cage admits he would love to star in a movie with the Muppets. While responding to a tweet that read, “I’d love to see a Muppet remake of The Rock keeping Nic Cage as the only non-Muppet character,” Cage responded happily.
“I would love to be in a Muppet movie,” the Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent actor admitted. “I think Kermit and I could be best friends, and I’ve always had a crush on Miss Piggy.” To go a step further, someone then requested to replace all actors with Cage, to which he said,”All actors are my brothers and sisters.”

Cage also sent love to his co-star Pedro Pascal. “I had so much fun working with Pedro…we had a lot of fun conversations together.” In true Nic Cage fashion, he also gave some life advice to a fan feeling sad. “Melancholia…that’s an unexplainable feeling of sadness that we can all experience.”
