Nicolas Cage Recreates John Madden's NFL Hall of Fame Ceremony While Filming 'Madden' Biopic
Nicolas Cage is spending another day on set!
The 61-year-old Oscar-winning actor gave a speech as he recreated John Madden‘s NFL Hall of Fame induction ceremony as he filmed scenes for the upcoming Madden biopic on Monday (June 30) in Atlanta, Georgia.
If you didn’t know, Madden was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2006.
Madden was the head coach of the Oakland Raiders in the 1970s and led the team to numerous championships and its first Super Bowl win in 1976. After retiring in 1979, he became a mainstay in football coverage as he worked as a commentator for more than three decades. Madden announced his retirement as a broadcaster in 2009 and died in 2021 at the age of 85. He is also the namesake for the fan-favorite Madden video game.
Christian Bale was nearly unrecognizable as Al Davis on set while wearing his own Hall of Fame jacket. Davis, who was inducted in the Hall of Fame in 1992, was close friends with Madden and former owner of the Raiders. He died in October 2011 at the age of 82.
