<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nicolas-cage-did-a-reddit-ama-here-are-the-weirdest-questions-and-answers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cage</a>, who made an appearance on the show to promote his vampire-themed horror comedy &#8220;Renfield,&#8221; participated in the &#8220;Colbert Questionert&#8221; — during which he fielded a series of random questions from the host.</p>

<p>Things took a turn when Colbert asked the &#8220;Leaving Las Vegas&#8221; star to recall his earliest memory, however, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/aaron-rodgers-shows-up-for-training-camp-dressed-as-nic-cage-from-con-air" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cage</a> suggested that he might remember something that happened before he was even born.</p>
<p>&#8220;Let me think. Listen, I know this sounds really far out, and I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s real or not, but sometimes I think I can go all the way back to in utero and feeling like I could see faces in the dark or something,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/24-year-old-rust-armorer-once-made-nicolas-cage-curse-storm-off-set-after-firing-gun-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cage</a> replied. &#8220;I know that sounds powerfully abstract, but that somehow seems like it maybe happened.&#8221;</p>
<p>Colbert responded with a follow-up question, asking the Oscar winner whether he thought he had seen faces because there may have been &#8220;other people in there&#8221; at the time — or whether he believed that he had been able to imagine or &#8220;conjure&#8221; faces even before he was born.</p>
<p>&#8220;Now that I am no longer in utero, I would have to imagine it was perhaps vocal vibrations resonating through to me at that stage,&#8221; Cage replied. &#8220;That&#8217;s going way back. I don&#8217;t know. That comes to mind &#8230; I don&#8217;t even know if I remember being in utero, but that thought has crossed my mind.&#8221;</p>

<p>Cage answered a number of other questions presented by the host — including his top five favorite movies that he had starred in: &#8220;Pig,&#8221; &#8220;Mandy,&#8221; &#8220;Bringing Out the Dead,&#8221; &#8220;Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans,&#8221; and &#8220;Joe.&#8221;</p>
<p>“There you go. I go &#8216;Face/Off,&#8217; but that&#8217;s okay,&#8221; Colbert joked.</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh, I like that one a lot! I love &#8216;Face/Off,’” Cage agreed, adding, &#8220;You know, what was interesting about &#8216;Face/Off&#8217; — and I could&#8217;ve mentioned &#8216;Vampire&#8217;s Kiss.&#8217; &#8216;Vampire&#8217;s Kiss&#8217; was a little movie I made where I was able to explore my more abstract dreams with film performance. I was sadly playing a character who was losing his mind that he was beginning to think he was the vampire from the original Nosferatu movie. And when you&#8217;re playing a character who&#8217;s losing his mind, he can believe he&#8217;s Nosferatu. So I got to act like a German expressionistic silent movie star.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And that was cool, these facial expressions and what not. But &#8216;Face/Off&#8217; was a big studio movie that I made at Paramount and I was able to use what I learned from this little &#8216;Vampire&#8217;s Kiss&#8217; movie and put it in this giant movie and it worked. I was like, &#8216;People really dig this,’” Cage concluded.</p>
