Will Ferrell asks Roger Federer: 'Are you a vampire?'

Swiss tennis player Roger Federer is not only perhaps the greatest player the game has ever seen, he may also be a member of the undead.

At least, that's what Will Ferrel was wondering when the comedian was interviewing him following his win this week against Aljaz Bedene in the first round of the Australian Open.

After Ferrell asked if Federer is a "silky gazelle" -- a notion the pro dismissed because they get eaten in the end -- the erstwhile Elf pointed out the 36 year-old is "ageless."

So, naturally, Ferrell wondered, "Are you a witch or a vampire?"

Federer dodged, asking Ferrell which one was better to be ("Probably a vampire," he replied), but more importantly: Roger Federer did not deny his status as the damned.

Granted, he would probably need a lot of sunblock on the tennis court if he is a vampire. But, daywalker, anyone?

Nicholas Cage Was Once an Overnight Guest in Dracula's Castle

Courtesy Inquisitr

In "What's up with Nicholas Cage lately?" news...the Inquisitr is reporting that the quirky star once spent the night in Dracula's castle to get more inspiration for his "Johnny Blaze" role in 2011's Ghost Rider: The Spirit of Vengeance. 

According to his co-star, Idris Elba, Cage admitted to him that he spent the night in the notorious Romanian domain to "channel the energy." Elba was quoted as saying, "We were shooting in Romania, Transylvania, and he just went up there to spend the night, as you do. And then he walked away. True story.” Apparently it didn't work that well since the film wasn't much of a hit.

Is Cage a vampire? Probably not.

Cage is no stranger to the paranormal, however. Perhaps his fascination began when he was told that his son would not live past the age of 15? Thankfully the sick premonition did not come to fruition. In addition to actually playing a vampire in Vampire's Kiss and having that picture of the Civil War era soldier that looked like him go viral, Cage went on to begin penning a horror novel. Between 2007 and 2009, Cage moved into the home of infamous slave murderer, Madame Delphine LaLaurie in New Orleans. Why? Inspiration from all the suffering that occurred in the home. Apparently the novel didn't get published so that's a bummer. According to Cage's IMDB page, he does have a few upcoming projects completed and in the works.

So does this news surprise you? How far would you go for artistic inspiration? What's your favorite Cage film? I'm partial to Valley Girl, myself.
