Can’t quench the fire of the legendary Michael Caine as he sure keeps us on our toes despite being 90 years young. With his upcoming film “The Great Escaper” set for release in the UK, fans are in for a real treat.
From Semi-Retirement to Nonagenarian Comeback
Having previously mentioned to The Telegraph that he was “sort of” retired, the Oscar-winning Caine even dropped a hint that “The Great Escaper” could be his swan song. “I’m bloomin’ 90 now, and walking isn’t my forte these days,” he remarked.
Fast forward a week, and it seems the acting guru has had a change of heart. He abruptly reversed his previous comment, leaving fans buzzing with excitement.
