You know it's a powerful radio moment when the host is literally lost for words at the end.

That's what happens in the BBC Radio 1 clip above when guest Nicholas Hoult plays "Sitting or Standing?" with DJ Greg James, a game that basically involves calling random famous people in the guest's contacts and asking them if they're sitting down or standing up.

Nicolas Cage's response? "Well I'm actually lying down, it's so early in the morning."

Hoult apologises, after which Cage tells him not to worry. "That's alright, I was up anyway," he says. "I was just surfing some net."

Iconic.
