10 Actors Who Absolutely Hate Your Favourite Movies
5. Sean Penn Thought Nicolas Cage Was No Longer An Actor - Con Air
There's taking a few humble shots at yourself upon sitting down to examine your latest big-screen endeavour. And then there's being utterly massacred by one of your fellow thespians for your part in a piece of movie magic.
That's precisely the position global treasure Nicolas Cage found himself in on the back of spearheading most people's go-to chunk of action glee on a Sunday afternoon by the name of Con Air, with his Racing with the Moon co-star Sean Penn seemingly not being too impressed by his decision to take on the blockbuster job and others like it.
In Penn's venomous words towards Cage around this time, "Nic Cage is no longer an actor. He's more like a performer."
But the pissed off Penn wouldn't stop there, with many assuming he was also taking aim at Cage's work in Con Air with his comments of:
“If there’s anything more disgusting in the movie business it’s the whoredom of my peers. It’s a guy’s arm coming out of the screen [and] jerking you off. I prefer to do it myself at home than have some guy contriving wet dreams for me.”
Tell us how you really feel, Sean, mate.
