This old photograph appears to show actor Nicolas Cage made up for his latest movie role – but in fact the picture dates back to the American Civil War.
An antique dealer has put the image up for auction on eBay and is demanding at least $1MILLION – the equivalent of £635,000.
The seller jokes that the picture is proof Cage is not 47 as he claims – but an immortal vampire.
The image of a man looking identical to the Con Air star dates from around 1870.Jack Mörd, from Seattle, Washington, says the photo was taken of a man in Bristol, Tennessee.
He said: "My theory is that he allows himself to age to a certain point, maybe 70, 80 or so, then the actor 'Nicolas Cage' will 'die'.
"But in reality, the undead vampire 'Nicolas Cage' will have rejuvenated himself and appeared in some other part of the world, young again, and ready to start all over."
Mr Mörd runs The Thanatos Archive and says he is a fan of Victorian-era photography.
He assured prospective bidders: "This is not a trick photo of any kind and has not been manipulated in Photoshop or any other graphics program.
"It's an original photo of a man who lived in Bristol, TN, sometime around the Civil War."
