YOUR FAVORITE MTV SHOWS ARE ON PARAMOUNT+

Nicolas Cage Turns 50: Check Out His Birthday Presents!

The Academy Award winner turns the big five-oh, and we have a proportionate number of presents to celebrate the actor's big day.

You thought the holidays were over, did you? Well then, it looks like you forgot about a very special someone's very special birthday!

That's right: Nicolas Cage, born Nicolas Kim Coppola, turns 50 years young today. Cage, who may or may not have enjoyed a former life as a Civil War era vampire, has appeared in over 80 films in over 30 years of showbiz, and those numbers will continue to rise -- especially if we have anything to say about it.

In honor of Mr. Cage's monumental 50th birthday, we assembled a monumental package of 50 presents for the Academy Award winner. And by "presents," we mean "sequel suggestions for all of Cage's best movies."
