Nicolas Cage Sports Red Hair at 'Sorcerer's Apprentice' Premiere - Trend Alert!

Nicolas Cage red hair

Maybe it's his summer look or he just really loves Lucy, but Nicolas Cage turned up at a Manhattan event on July 7 with hair that almost matched the color of the red carpet.

Cage debuted his fiery new hue at the New York City premiere of his film "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," reports the Daily Mail.

The actor, who usually sports a darker dye job -- allegedly! -- also added a bit of ginger to his graying beard, giving it a salt-and-paprika effect.

The quirky 46-year-old star is just one of many middle-aged Hollywood men who have found that rather than go gray, they're better off red.

Twenty-four-year-old John Travolta sported a jet-black pompadour in the 1978 hit "Grease"; now, at 56, he wears a shade of auburn (if that actually is his hair -- allegedly!) that would make "Mad Men" siren Joan Harris green with envy.

On the '90s sci-fi series "The X Files," Gillian Anderson played David Duchovny's redheaded partner. Mysteriously, the 49-year-old actor has mutated into an ex brunette, with matador red tresses that rival Rihanna's.


There's something out there, indeed... and it's called Miss Clairol.

And a newly 52-year-old Kevin Bacon (his birthday is today, July 8!) looks the same as he did when he starred as a rebellious teen in the 1984 classic "Footloose" -- only his hair has changed, transforming from woodsy brown to Woody Woodpecker.

Ultimately, maybe Cage and all the other scarlet studs -- including Liam Neeson, Robert Downey Jr., Paul McCartney, Rob Lowe, and yes, even you too, Valentino -- should take a tip from George Clooney, who with all his silver, is still considered one of the sexiest men in the world.

Lay off the bottle, guys. It's all right to go white.

I love the many looks of Nic Cage! I would take him in a heartbeat with any/no color or no hair. And by the way--he's not quirky. Who's to say what's quirky to you may be the norm for him? Let's not forget, he was raised with a broad influence of culture. He's very intelligent and creative. He seems to keep the entertainment media talking.

Yep, thats the problem with us - the brunette. Ya try to find a color that matches your own, and then wala, the color kit turns your hair red. I myself dyed it a dark brown and then after 3-4 washings it turned brick red! Yuk!

Cage looks better than I thought he would in red and it definitely looks better than the shoe-pollish black dye. Travolta looks scary . . . almost alien-like.

So, 'Mr.' Marino... why is their haircolor bringing out the nasty in you ? How about focusing on their goodness instead of bashing THEIR CHOICES.. and NOT yours... just saying --

I would say you are the one who needs to do some growing...

Nick Cage looks just finein redish hair. All of them do except John Travolta. He looks best with the darker hair. Makes those beautifull eyes pop out. As far hair color goes, They say blondes have morefun, but... Im told Red head is the best head!

Obviously, you people don't know what RED is. This is auburn not red. You haven't seen really RED hair. You're making a mountain out of nothing - as usual for AOL writers.

I don't know about older men and red hair. I think it's hard to pull off even for some women.
I think they might do better with brown. I just saw my old male hairdresser with a hideous red. Sort of clowny-ish.
Age is a factor.

stupid men, trying to look like their kids and even their haircuts are too goofy looking. God forbid if they were to look for a nice neat haircut. Even some of the fruity women look dumb. For instance the other day Jane Fonda was wearing something that came out of someone's garbage. It doesn't bother me if they want to look younger, but good grief, have some style! ! Not what someone else looks like.

LOLL - Mark... funny!

But, hey, leave the guys alone! They're allowed to make themselves look & feel better by sporting a somewhat "lighter brown" (so to speak) and looking perhaps a bit younger, as dark colors are generally too harsh beyond a certain age.

Nicolas Cage ROCKS. He can look so beautiful... the "quirkier" the better! ;-)
