He shared: “Thank God I’m 90 and don’t play lovers anymore is all I can say.”
The ‘Alfie’ actor also acknowledged that times have changed in the movie business.
He said: “In my day, you just did the love scene and got on with it without anyone interfering. It’s all changed.”
Meanwhile, earlier this month, Michael suggested that ‘The Great Escaper’ could be the last film he ever makes.
The acclaimed actor is widely considered to be an icon of the movie industry, and hinted that the new drama would be his last-ever film — even though he’s previously teased retirement and then made a comeback.
Caine told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: “I wasn’t 90 then. I am bloody 90 now, and I can’t walk properly and all that. I sort of am retired now.”
Despite this, Caine admitted to having a “wonderful time” during the film’s shoot.
The London-born star shared: “I was so happy to do it. I just loved the character of Bernie. I thought he was incredible, and it’s so beautifully written.
“With COVID and all that, I hadn’t done a picture for three years, and I thought I was finished. And I suddenly did it — and had such a wonderful time.”
