Nicolas Cage, 62, makes a rare red carpet appearance at the opening night celebration for the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles on Saturday, attending with his wife, Riko Shibata, 31. Multiple outlets describe Cage as looking notably different than usual, with a gray beard and gray hair.
The reports focus on the couple’s appearance at the event. The New York Post and Daily Mail both highlight that the actor is “barely recognizable” and emphasize his fuller gray facial hair and hair, while framing the appearance as rare. Daily Mail similarly notes that Cage appears to have changed his look, including describing the transition away from darker hair styling. Across the coverage, there is no major disagreement about the event, location, or who attended; the main variation is the emphasis on Cage’s altered appearance and wording about how unrecognizable he looks.
