It'sall down to a photo taken nearly 150 years ago
BIZARRE conspiracy theories are the lifeblood of cinema fans on the internet but one fang-tastic favourite really takes the biscuit.
Its that Nicolas Cage is an immortal vampire.
Array
The bonkers theory first surfaced when a seller on eBay put up a black and white picture from 1870 which was the spitting image of the National Treasure star.
The seller was asking for 800,000 for the picture, which is thought to be man living in Tennessee around the time of the American Civil War.
The inflated price tag was justified by dealer Jack Mord, who claimed it was proof of Nic Cages immortality.

The listing read: Original c.1870 carte de visite [a type of small photograph] showing a man who looks exactly like Nick Cage.
Personally, I believe its him and that he is some sort of walking undead / vampire who quickens / reinvents himself once every 75 years or so.
150 years from now, he might be a politician, the leader of a cult, or a talk show host.
Jack said he found the Civil War-era portraits in an album but he said: All of the other people in the album, living and dead, were identified by name this man was not.
The picture was eventually taken off the site, unsold.
Array
The theory, which has been circulating since 2011, even led to the 53-year-old actor denying he was a bloodsucking vampire on the David Letterman show.
The Vampires Kiss star pointed out a few flaws in the thinking.
He said: Theres a photograph of me and you cant take pictures of vampires.
He added: Now look, I dont drink blood and the last time I looked in the mirror I had a reflection.
Other recent film theories have claimed that Ferris Bueller isan imaginary friend and that Willy Wonka is a crazed serial killer in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
