Michael Caine could finally be hanging up his boots. While not official, the actor may be somewhat retired.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Caine revealed that he's “sort of” retired.
“I am bloody 90 now, and I can't walk properly and all that,” Caine said. “I've had the best possible life I could have thought of.”
A legendary actor, Caine has been acting for over 70 years. After a slew of uncredited and small roles throughout the 1950s, Caine finally began hitting his stride in the 1960s. His performance in the 1966 film Alfie landed him his first of six Oscar nominations. He'd also be nominated for his roles in Sleuth (1972), Educating Rita (1983), and The Quiet American (2002). He won Best Support Actor for his roles in Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) and The Cider House Rules (1999).

Cain didn't appear in Oppenheimer (2023), breaking his streak of being in eight-straight Nolan films.
