A photo of Cage in Kazakhstan wearing traditional Kazakhstani clothing while standing next to the country's First Lady Sara Nazarbayeva emerged on Twitter on Sunday. But, it was Cage's extremely odd facial expression which made this photo truly meme-worthy.

Is he adjusting to a recent teleportation? Is the stare the result of some serious disorientation?

Is he having an existential crisis? (Probably.)

Is he "dead inside"?

The internet -- blessed with new meme fodder -- didn't waste any time in photoshopping the hell out of Cage. Here he is photoshopped into this awkward AF photo of the Trump family with the Pope.

If we're going all out in the meme stakes, you'd better chuck in a shot of Chris Christie reclining on a beach.

Of course, adding more Cage facial expressions to the mix is really the perfect recipe for photoshop glory.

Good work, internet.
