BIZARRE conspiracy theories are the lifeblood of cinema fans on the internet but one fang-tastic favourite really takes the biscuit. <\/p>\n
Its that Nicolas Cage is an immortal vampire. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
The inflated price tag was justified by dealer Jack Mord, who claimed it was proof of Nic Cages immortality. <\/p>\n

The listing read: Original c.1870 carte de visite [a type of small photograph] showing a man who looks exactly like Nick Cage. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
150 years from now, he might be a politician, the leader of a cult, or a talk show host. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
The picture was eventually taken off the site, unsold. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n
The Vampires Kiss star pointed out a few flaws in the thinking. <\/p>\n
He said: Theres a photograph of me and you cant take pictures of vampires. <\/p>\n
He added: Now look, I dont drink blood and the last time I looked in the mirror I had a reflection. <\/p>\n
