I wondered if Cage started going bald at this movie in his career or maybe they just did great makeup on him here, never could figure it out. In any case he was very convincing as an alcoholic here and Oscar well deserved.
shareI’m pretty sure that the baldness was real. You’re right that his performance was something really special and was definitely Oscar-worthy.
shareElon Musk used to be bald, now he has a glorious head of hair. I am guessing they visit a clinic a little better than Hair Club for Miller.
Cage was balding in the mid 80s. He's been donning hairpieces, some good, others over the top.
Check out his role in "Dead Fall" where his outrages hairpiece falls off and you see his natural bald head.
