Nicolas Cage once had an awkward pitch to Seth Rogen go so horribly wrong Cage exited stage left when the comedian shot it down.

Rogen, 39, revealed the tidbit which allegedly occurred in 2011 as he and his creative partner Evan Goldberg were in the midst of casting their film, “The Green Hornet,” and said Cage wanted to play a “white Bahamian man” in the comedy flick.

The “American Pickle” star recalled that Cage said he wanted his character to be bald with tattooed hair.

“And we were like, ‘OK …’ We were kind of wrapping our heads around it,” Rogen told “The Howard Stern Show” on Monday.

Rogen pressed on that Cage called back a few days later and said he didn’t actually want to do the tattooed hair for the movie because he was thinking he might do it in real life.

“I remember laughing hysterically when he said it on the phone — and then stopped, realizing it wasn’t a joke,” the funnyman said of the bizarre moment, adding that Cage’s request and subsequent retract “set off a lot of alarms” for Rogen.

“I remember going there with Evan [Goldberg] my partner and just being like, ‘I just don’t want him to do it in front of us. I’ll just be so uncomfortable.’ And I remember Evan being like, ‘He’s not going to do it. He’ll talk about it. He won’t launch into it. That would be too much,'” Rogen maintained.

Following the phone call, the dinner in question took place at the home of Amy Pascal, who was Sony’s chairwoman at the time. Cage arrived at the residence “and literally within 60 seconds, we were all seated at the house as [Cage] stands in front of us reciting a monologue, talking in a Jamaican accent,” Rogen recalled. “And we were just like, ‘It’s happening.'”

“[His] monologue was not in the script,” Rogen added through laughter. “Nor did it have anything to do with the script. At which point I was like, ‘I don’t think he’s even read the script.'”

Rogen then explained what happened next after the “Face/Off” star concluded his diatribe audition.

“It ends and, it is like he had just completed a backflip and he’s waiting for the applause,” said Rogen. “At which point everyone looks to me to express the group reaction. I was like, ‘It was OK. Cool. Thanks. We should talk about it. That’s not how we pictured the character.'”

The response wasn’t one that Cage had seemed to expect, Rogen said, as the “Gone in 60 Seconds” star “instantly fell” in his seat.

“We all sit down for dinner and almost right away he just gets up and leaves,” Rogen said.

In a statement to Fox News, Cage said, “I lIke Seth. He’s a funny guy and clearly a good storyteller,” and added, “I wish him luck with his book.”
