Showbiz Photo of the Day - #2: Is This Really a 140-Year-Old Picture of a Guy Who Looks Exactly Like Nicolas Cage?

 

Someone is selling a picture on eBay of a guy who looks EXACTLY like NICOLAS CAGE.  And he wants $1 MILLION for it.

 

 

--What makes it worth a million bucks?  It was taken in 1870.  (!!!)  There's no word who this guy was, but he lived in Bristol, Tennessee.  (--Check out the photo here.)  (eBay)

--The seller swears the photo is not faked or Photoshopped in any way . . . it's just a dude who looked amazingly like Cage.  (--Or, as he also suggests, maybe it IS Nicolas Cage . . . and Nicolas Cage is a VAMPIRE.)

 

 

--If someone actually buys this for $1 million, half the money will go to the charity of his or her choice.

 

 

(--Speaking of Nicolas Cage . . . he reportedly checked his son Weston into a sober living facility over the weekend, after Weston posted a series of bizarre Tweets.)

 

 

(--He was talking about being on painkillers, snorting coke and busting a dog's head open with a baseball bat because he thought the FBI had implanted a spy camera in it.  Whether any of this actually happened, we have no idea.)
