Is this the right look? Madden looks muscular...Nic Cage just looks fat.

I know it’s Cage because you told me. But I am sitting here looking at him and I don’t believe it.

Apparently Nic Cage went the Dunkin Donuts route for weight gain rather than TRT & power lifting.

Nope. Nic missed the mark and just looks pudgy with no muscular definition.

Look at Madden's entire upper body next to Nic's and there's no comparison in structure and muscle tone. Plus, it looks like Nic is still strolling around on two skinny assed legs that have never seen "Leg Day" in a gym.

Definitely a lot more GameStop manager than former NFL player turned Head Coach

Ever eaten at any of the restaurants on Madden’s Haul of Fame? (Stops on his motor home road trips from one NFL venue to the next. He was afraid of air travel.)

Why are we pretending that’s what John Madden looked like his whole career? He was pretty fat and lost about all of that muscle in the first comparison pic.

Yeah depending on how it goes and if they include MNF broadcasting, he can’t be a different build for every era.

Looks close enough to these shots

Christian Bale is the GOAT of body transformation. There was less than a year between the end of filming "The Machinist" and starting "Batman Begins".

Cage (facially) looks like combination of Madden and Mike Leach.

Cage wasn’t the right guy for this role. Madden was about 35-37 in that pic. Nic is 60. I guess if the movie does Maddens entire life he may be the right fit, but not for the Raiders years.

Right now I’m seeing this & thinking he ought not have tried it.

No sir, I don’t like it.

My dad had the whole light blue leisure suit with a matching jacket. Worn with a loud silky print shirt. It was all that thick polyester from the 70's. My mom wanted him to look like Travolta in Saturday Night Fever for church.
