Seeing as Nicolas Cage has reached the meta point of his career where he played Nicolas Cage in that Pedro Pascal film, you'd think we all know the actor quite well. But on Stephen Colbert's "Questionert", Cage will be even more known.

On The Late Show, the Renfield actor joined the ranks of Michelle Obama, Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Lawrence, Prince Harry, Jon Batiste, Bradley Cooper, and so many more, answering rapid fire questions to which he did not always give rapid fire answers.

What is the best sandwich? The Muffaletta at New Orleans' Central Grocery. What's the scariest animal? Cage's reasons for fearing centipedes are legit. What happens after we die? Well, it has to do with electricity.

Night blooming jasmine! In utero! Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon! "The Birthday Song"! Expect all of this and a lot of fandom over The Who.
