Balding and miserable, the Hollywood legend looked nothing short of ordinary in still from the trailer dressed in silver specs, a cable-knit jumper and a fur trimmed parka coat.

Nicholas Cage, 59, even went bald and grew a grey beard for the role during filming last year in Canada.

The Con Air actor stars alongside Michael Cera and Julianne Nicholson in the film which is set to debut at Toronto’s film festival in September.

Little is known about it, but it has been billed as a surrealist satire-comedy about social media culture and going viral by festival executive Robyn Citizen.

She said that the film “has sharp, timely observations about social media culture — especially going viral” and added: “Cage delivers some of his finest work.”

Nic is no stranger to transforming for a role.

Last year he was spotted on set looking unrecognisable with pale skin and purple lips as Dracula on the set of vampire movie Renfield, due to come out this year.

The actor looked like a true vampire with pale skin, long fingernails, slicked-back hair, and colorful jewelry.

Director Mike Figgis also revealed the star got into character to play an alcoholic screenwriter in cult 1995 film Leaving Las Vegas — by getting plastered.

Mike said: “He wanted to do the entire film drunk.

“I told him, ‘I need you to be completely compos mentis’ but he did one scene off his face.

“He drank a bottle of vodka before it.

“I was very angry with him because he didn’t tell me.

“Somebody got injured and he smash­ed the equipment.”

Last year he also starred in The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent — a film loosely based on his life.
