With 100-plus acting credits, Nicolas Cage is only now starring in his first Western.
“It’s purely happenstance. I had been scratching my head for many years wondering why this hadn’t happened sooner,” Cage, 59, said in a Zoom interview about the newly released film, “The Old Way.”
“I mean, I grew up in California. I think I wear a cowboy hat well. So I don’t know why it took this long. I grew up watching movies like ‘Once Upon a Time in the West’ and I enjoyed specifically Charles Bronson’s performance as Harmonica in that movie.”
