More Crazy Look Alikes: Jimmy Stewart and Nicolas Cage

Has anyone else noticed this? Truth is, I didn't. My son recognized the similarity and tells me they look so much alike that he could hardly tell them apart, if it weren't for their different-era clothing.  I think they do look alike, but the real similarity is in some aspects of movement and gesture which are harder to see in stills. But take a look at these and see if you agree:

And look at this great earnest expression they share:

    1. LOL. Absolutely! That's what I was checking when I found this blog.
      They have same voice characters also ...Stewart had to be more dramatic do to limited props in his time.
      I'd be willing to bet Cage studied Stewerts style....also contributing to the similarities .

  3. I just loved Jimmy Stewart and I noticed similarities immediately when I saw Nick Cage. I wish Cage could do a remake of "It's a Wonderful Life"

    1. Defo I can see a likeness so much. Would be good if Nick Cage did a remake of its a wonderful world.

    2. Jimmy Stewart and James Drury the Virginian both favor Nick Cage to me.

    3. He basically already did a modern remake of that movie - it's definitely reminiscent of It's a Wonderful Life and it's clearly influenced by it. It's called The Family Man.

  4. I noticed the resemblance while watching the ending of It's a wonderful life a few years ago

  6. I also loved Jimmy, for his emphatic facial expressions and his definitive voice, his pause and drawl. The tempo, rhythm and swagger of his speech.and the incredibly tone. all of which Nick Cage has emulated either by relation, study, or chance.

  7. Yes,Susan. I agree with you....Its the Voice and body language that convinces me. Nick's mannerisms mimick Mr. Stewart's as well.
    And, Absolutely, I would love a remake of It's a wonderful life!

  9. This is so weird! I finally got around to watching 'it's a wonderful life' from the beginning and convinced myself that James and Nicholas were related so many similarities its scary!

  10. I was watching its a wonderful life and he even sounds a little like Nick Cage. So glad I'm not the only one who sees it!

  11. I'd never seen any young Nicolas Cage fine before, but I just saw Wild at Heart and this is exactly what I thought. He looked just like Jimmy Stewart in Shop Around the Corner.

  12. Not only do they look alike but the voice and demeanor as well

  13. I was watching shop around the corner and noticed right off that his voice sounded like Nicholas Cage's voice

  14. The best lookalike for Jimmy Stewart is definitely Tom Amandes. He sounds and looks like Stewart. Even his mannerisms and body language is similar to Stewart's. This is the first I've ever heard of Cage resembling Stewart.. I can see it, but it's nothing like Amandes' resemblance.
