Biografia

For more than forty years, Caine's mother, Ellen Maria Burchell, paid periodic visits to a "cousin" in a mental hospital. When she died in 1989, Caine learned that the cousin was really his elder brother, David.

He owns seven restaurants: six in London, one in Miami.

Once said that he knew he had made it as an actor when he started getting scripts to read that no longer had coffee stains already on them (meaning that he was the first choice for that role).

He legally changed his name to Michael Caine in 2016. He said in an interview that he'd had too many problems travelling with a passport that didn't match his stage name.

When he was still a struggling actor in London and rooming with Terence Stamp, Caine's barber was future hairstylist-guru Vidal Sassoon.

[in 1967] I've never been out with a married woman, never. I respect others' properties.

My name is Michael Caine.

[on Tubarão 4: A Vingança (1987)] I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific.

I am in so many movies that are on TV at 2:00 a.m. that people think I am dead.

I used to get the girl; now I get the part. In O Americano Tranqüilo (2002) you may have noticed I got the part and the girl. It's a milestone for me, because it's the last time I'm going to get the girl. I'm sure of it, now I'm nearly seventy.
