The 90-year-old film legend said his latest film had great reviews and it was a good place to call it a day
Veteran British actor Sir Michael Caine has confirmed he has retired from acting after the release of his latest film. Sir Michael, 90, told the BBC : "I keep saying I'm going to retire. Well, I am now."
He has appeared in more than 160 films over a career that has spanned seven decades. In his final film, The Great Escaper which was released on October 6, he plays real-life World War Two veteran Bernie Jordan who escaped from a care home to attend D-Day celebrations in France. Sir Michael said he had turned the film down three times before accepting the role as he considered himself retired. He stars alongside Glenda Jackson, who died in June after the completion of the film.
