What is Nicolas Cage doing to that poor cucumber?

Nicolas Cage was filming his upcoming movie The Sorcerer and he was caught eating a cucumber in an interesting way. I don’t know if they were filming a scene for the movie or that is how he really eats a cucumber. Either way I want to know what he is trying to tell us because there something really phallic about the way he is downing that cucumber. I hope he treated it to dinner after he was done wolfing it down because he was so not gentle to it and it deserved a nice meal or at the least a night cap. Poor cucumber…
