Dude!

Nicolas Cage debuted blond, shoulder-length hair -- receding hairline be damned -- over the weekend.

The Oscar-winning actor, 46, was promoting his movie The Sorcerer's Apprentice at WonderCon in San Francisco.

But the golden, surfer-inspired tresses were for another role, Cage explained to SciFi blog i09. "I'm doing a movie called Drive Angry and I'm trying to tap into my Celtic roots, so I dyed it blond."
