Nicolas Cage has become a hilarious meme all over again thanks to Kazakhstan photo

Nicolas Cage has found himself at the centre of yet another meme, this time thanks to a photo of him taken in Kazakhstan.

The Oscar-winning actor was snapped next to the country's first lady, Sara Nazarbayeva while wearing a traditional Kazakh robe - an odd sight made odder by his blank expression.

The 53-year-old was visiting the country to attend the opening of the 13th Eurasia International Film Festival which is taking place in the city's capital, Astana.

Of course, the photo has been doing the rounds on social media and it's already in the history books as yet another meme inspired by the actor.

According to the Kazinform news agency, Cage said: “I would be pleased to participate in some film project on the territory of Kazakhstan.

“I enjoyed the architecture of your capital. What I saw reminded me of an old black-and-white film that depicted the future.”

The Astana Times reports that other Hollywood talent attending the festival includes Adrien Brody and John Malkovich.
