I met Michael Caine and his wife and daughters several times over the years. Very nice people. The last time I met Michael was very soon after he was knighted. I said “ Congratulations Sir Michael - or do you prefer Sir Maurice ?” He laughed and said “Well, you know Maurice is my name, Sir Maurice is fine. Thanks mate”
I got slated for saying Micheal Caine is the best British actor…oh God I got Ricard Burton, Anthony Hopkins Alec Guinness Sean Connery etc etc. so my sister did a dinner party…12 of us. After dinner game was favourite Micheal Caine movie. 12 different answers. That’s how versatile he is. Peeing myself at doctor Shaufhasen to crying at Harry Brown. My Dad knew when you had rickets. Called Ken
He always seems super grumpy giving autographs like “come on and give me the bloody fing then” so would be too nervous to approach him but I like watching him as he reminds me of some real old cockney characters in my own family sadly long gone now 😅 They are a dying breed.
Agreed. And thats when you renew your annual Michael Caine RUclips search and lo...there is always more in the RUclips Archives. Thanks so much, Google, Caine and LiveTalkLA
Maurice Micklewhite has always stayed rooted, thats the most special thing anyone can do in the world he worked in, such a warm genuine funny man who never changed. Respect X such an inspiration for working class folk everywhere.
whenever i watch anything with Michael Caine talking i just stay glued to the end. he is the perfect chat show host. he does a great one with..Parkinson Michael Caine. he's not false he just tells you as it is. Legend..absolute Legend
Wow! That was a deep conversation. I never knew how serious Michael was about his craft. He really is a professional. I never looked at actors as being serious. There’s a lot that goes into being these characters they play. Lots of respect for this guy. Man, totally impressed! 👍😎
🙏🙏💙Much gratitude for this wonderful interview! I would have loved it to have lasted another hour or….three. I could happily listen to him for as many hours as he would give. Amazing actor, amazing story teller, amazing comedian & truly amazing man. 🙏💙💙
The fact that he mentions our song Swollen will be one of my proudest moments ever. I wrote a letter to him a few years ago thanking him for the support and for shouting about Bent in his interviews. He got his secretary to write a lovely letter back, and he said “sorry I got my secretary to write this but I’m film Batman in Nottingham”, which is beautiful because not only did he take the time to reply, but Bent is from Nottingham. This video means a lot to us! ❤
What an encouraging sense of humor after all the dry mouths that come out and bars right out of his shoes thank you Michael three cheers for you and your site sustain sense of humor and seeing the funny and everything you sound like you came from a family like mine that we laughed half the day so thank you for being who you are not giving up and falling into the trap. I love me which is as boring as you can find and no one wants to visit that particular party anyhow hurray for You. ❤
A great actor. And, I can watch (well almost all) Curtains down over and over again. Caine is one of the few actors who can save any movie - Jaws 4 is proof enough. Even Bullsey. I have seen every film he's been in. On my bookshelf is a signed book by him.
Everyone would enjoy this talk plus all his brilliant movies . Incredible u r and enjoying ur memoirs. So very special it to all of us listening to this
What a wonderfull storyteller...you start listening and time does not exist, other then the times, people and places he will take you to in the narrative of his life!
Speaks from my life. Brilliant commentary. Noted the button factory where he worked. My father also worked as a button designer! Very working class and down to earth. We are a community on our way out and we lose the history and experience. He is my hero!
OMG, I could listen to Caine all night. He is a wonderful actor. His tales are so down to earth and so funny. I can only hope he lives to a ripe old age. Funnily enough my least favourite film of his was The Man Who Would Be King. I thought Zulu was much bettet.
A national treasure and he's right that the Elephant and Castle has changed since the 1950s, several times in fact. The Man Who Would Be King is great for many reasons and two are Sean and Michael. You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off! A classic....
Some youth of today will probably dismiss him as "an old man" and as we know to some anything old is no longer of worth. But this old man is an example of how someone born into extremely humble beginnings, who had a difficult life, can be intelligent, extremely professional, and work his way to the top and at the same time remain grounded, kind and totally decent. A human being.
Sold him self out to the Tory party her in Britain he expected A knighthood from the blood stained royal family Michael the anti russian Cain and did war crimes in Korea that killed over 2million Korean's facts.
Let's assume that's all fair (I don't, but let's). Since you've acknowledged his failures how about recognising his successes? Or do you just go around slating people without caring about the good they've done? Or even less, learn from his mistakes and improve yourself by learning from the great things he's done for himself and his family. He singlehandedly raised his entire extended family out of poverty through hard work, resilience and professionalism.@@williamanderson8932
Who's Michael Caine? He's the greatest actor ever! How do you know that? Because; he's been in more great movies then anyone has. I must say, that Michael Caine is the greatest actor ever!
When I was little, all the grown up women were swooning over Michael Caine. I never thought he was handsome or attractive and I really thought people were nuts to be swooning over him. Many many years later, I saw an older Michael Caine walking down the sidewalk with his wife and let me tell you - that man is soooo attractive !!! Very tall, very well dressed and OMG so attractive. I finally got it !! And his wife was with him and she was seriously drop dead gorgeous.
Wow. I was thinking exactly the opposite about her. She’s in well over her head. Michael is driving this. When he loses his train of thought about Bogart she doesn’t even go back to it. He wanted to say that John Hughes wanted to do the Man Who WBK before with Bogart but he died and Michael was thrilled that he was going to play his idols part in a Hughes film. That was why he started the story. She was nervous and didn’t ask any revealing questions or follow up on anything.
I like his story about when a starstruck fan met him in the street and said: "...it's you!....you're HERE" and he replied "well I've got to be bloody somewhere aint I"
Caine is a true legend, universally loved by all, super duper star charisma and talent, and a diamond bloke all round. i saw a clip where he was taking the piss outta all the people who impersonate him, he said theyre all terrible and only ever sound like old Dudley playing Dud- 'bleeding gre'a garbo, tappin' on the window... '
In his first book, his transitions were often, "...then I had a fry up and went to bed". A fry up is what it sounds like, fixing fried food for a meal. Great deal of respect for Michael.
A London style fry up would be. Sausages, eggs, bacon, fried bread, black pudding ( pigs blood ) plum tomatoes and baked beans 2 slices of bread and butter and copious amounts of strong tea....
I watch so much crap on RUclips. Michael Caine is so open and honest and entertaining; I could listen for hours. One final thought: "You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"
Hey Sir Michael, read Acts the second chapter King James Bible! Absolutely loved your work for years, The Italian Job, Second Hand Lions, The Eagle Has Landed etc. GOD BLESS YOU!
I can't believe how quickly. Michael Caine aged. I saw a picture of him recently ( August 2023) and now i see him here, which confirms it. Maybe I forgot his true age. BUT, he's still a great person to listen too. Thanks Mike for all the great entertainment.
One does have to remember the difference between a 90-year-old man in real life and the actor with lots of makeup shot, from the most favorable camera angles. And he is still sharp with a great wit!
My favourite Sir Michael Caine film is The Italian Job because he playes it like the villains where he used to live as a kid in South East London England
Not only is Michael a great actor, but a first rtae raconteur. I can hear him telling a story I;ve heard many times before, knowing exactly what he's going to say, abd yet I burst out laughing every time.
I could watch Michael for ever... He came from The Elephant and Castle .... just down the road from The Old Kent Road from where I was born. love him XXXXXXXXXX
I didn't realise what a great sense of humour he has. Great interview.
I met Michael Caine and his wife and daughters several times over the years. Very nice people. The last time I met Michael was very soon after he was knighted. I said “ Congratulations Sir Michael - or do you prefer Sir Maurice ?” He laughed and said “Well, you know Maurice is my name, Sir Maurice is fine. Thanks mate”

The actors I enjoy the most, listening to their stories are Michael Caine and Peter Ustinov.
🎉🎉🎉😢b@@spizzenergi2292🎉😢in
He always seems super grumpy giving autographs like “come on and give me the bloody fing then” so would be too nervous to approach him but I like watching him as he reminds me of some real old cockney characters in my own family sadly long gone now 😅 They are a dying breed.
The only bad thing about videos of Michael Caine talking, is getting to the end.
So so true. Could listen to this incredible man all day !
Agreed. And thats when you renew your annual Michael Caine RUclips search and lo...there is always more in the RUclips Archives. Thanks so much, Google, Caine and LiveTalkLA
Love this guy!
Yes it is.The man is a breath of fresh air. Such a character. He fully deserved his success.
Yes I agree very worthwhile listening to what he has to say. Likeable intelligent open and amusing man.
One of our greatest actors and also a great comedian. What a man!
Maurice Micklewhite has always stayed rooted, thats the most special thing anyone can do in the world he worked in, such a warm genuine funny man who never changed. Respect X such an inspiration for working class folk everywhere.
Could listen to Michael all night, great story teller. "Not many people know that" 🙂
Plpplpppllllll
I knew
Love Michael Caine, I could listen to him for hours, his lecture on acting is phenominal
"This isn't Cockney. It's a London accent slowed down for Americans ! "
Brilliant.
Love interviews with Caine smart amusing and very open humble straight forward and honest. A real pleasure to listen to
Love this man - wish I could have met him
Adore Sir Michael Caine / Brilliant actor!
Class system complainer yet takes the “SIR”.
excellent chat
Great storyteller...I could listen for hours!!!
I really like Michael Caine. He's so natural and interesting and entertaining to listen to.
My favorite actor I could listen to all day
I alway enjoy listening to Michael Caine he's so down to earth and a good actor he just turned 90 years old this year.
It's always wonderful to listen to Micheal Caine. Such an awesome guest to have.
whenever i watch anything with Michael Caine talking i just stay glued to the end. he is the perfect chat show host. he does a great one with..Parkinson Michael Caine. he's not false he just tells you as it is. Legend..absolute Legend
absolutely...even with this dull host
Wow! That was a deep conversation. I never knew how serious Michael was about his craft. He really is a professional. I never looked at actors as being serious. There’s a lot that goes into being these characters they play. Lots of respect for this guy. Man, totally impressed! 👍😎
🙏🙏💙Much gratitude for this wonderful interview! I would have loved it to have lasted another hour or….three. I could happily listen to him for as many hours as he would give. Amazing actor, amazing story teller, amazing comedian & truly amazing man. 🙏💙💙
He is such a joy to listen to.
A incredible man thru so many years. To listen to him now still awes me
I have always loved him, he has never forgot his roots, he's very down to earth I love his stories❤
So, he's a plant
What a richly wise and funny interview
Duval, Nicholson and Caine just listening to anyone of them speaking is a thrill!
Caine most of all.
The fact that he mentions our song Swollen will be one of my proudest moments ever. I wrote a letter to him a few years ago thanking him for the support and for shouting about Bent in his interviews.
He got his secretary to write a lovely letter back, and he said “sorry I got my secretary to write this but I’m film Batman in Nottingham”, which is beautiful because not only did he take the time to reply, but Bent is from Nottingham.
This video means a lot to us! ❤
what a force. he was, is, and will always be a LEGEND
A British national treasure. An amazing raconteur with a relentless sense of humour.
Sir Michael Caine gave an excellent interview and seems like a real decent guy.
What an encouraging sense of humor after all the dry mouths that come out and bars right out of his shoes thank you Michael three cheers for you and your site sustain sense of humor and seeing the funny and everything you sound like you came from a family like mine that we laughed half the day so thank you for being who you are not giving up and falling into the trap.

One of the greatest and so simple and sincere
A great actor. And, I can watch (well almost all) Curtains down over and over again. Caine is one of the few actors who can save any movie - Jaws 4 is proof enough. Even Bullsey. I have seen every film he's been in. On my bookshelf is a signed book by him.

He's so humerous
Can’t think of a bigger British movie star than this guy. Fabulous guy too. Full of integrity who led the way for working class actors in the UK.
Love you Michael ❤
Interviews with Sir Michael are always interesting and funny and he is always cool. 😎
What a wonderfull storyteller...you start listening and time does not exist, other then the times, people and places he will take you to in the narrative of his life!
Speaks from my life. Brilliant commentary. Noted the button factory where he worked. My father also worked as a button designer! Very working class and down to earth. We are a community on our way out and we lose the history and experience. He is my hero!
What a great piece of film,great stories getting remembered and tripped out , I could listen to that gentleman all day.
So much like Richard Burton..love them.
Great interview with a great man.
love, love Michael Caine. He was almost always better then the movies he was in. Bless him.
We love you Michael 🇬🇧🏴🤗
My favourite! Great storyteller! His humour is disarming ❤
what a voice. you could listen to it for days.
One of the great story tellers along with David Niven. No dramas in his private life and still married to the same lady.
Divorced from the first, lived with a girlfriend for years, before meeting his current wife. Lotsa drama, actually.
OMG, I could listen to Caine all night. He is a wonderful actor. His tales are so down to earth and so funny. I can only hope he lives to a ripe old age. Funnily enough my least favourite film of his was The Man Who Would Be King. I thought Zulu was much bettet.
You should read his book, "What's it all about." great read.
What a wonderful humble human being Sir Michael is !!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
This man makes me proud to be British
Love Michael Caine. He's got such a wicked sense of humor.
A national treasure and he's right that the Elephant and Castle has changed since the 1950s, several times in fact.
The Man Who Would Be King is great for many reasons and two are Sean and Michael.
You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off! A classic....
Soooo many priceless stories from Michael ... thank you so much 😎
Just bought the book. Lovely read
a man thats done so much thank you for beining in my life ..so much respect

Oh, go back to sleep.@@williamanderson8932
He's a very elderly gentleman
@williamanderson8932 take a dirt nap😮
Wonderful interview. Very interesting man isn't he.
I have always Michael Caine and loved the film Alfie.
Who's Michael Caine? He's the greatest actor ever! How do you know that? Because; he's been in more great movies then anyone has. I must say, that Michael Caine is the greatest actor ever!
one of the coolest men on earth
totally agree he is still a cool dude
My favourite actor. Amazingly wonderfully entertaining. One of the best. He is/was so humble and then so successful.
When I was little, all the grown up women were swooning over Michael Caine. I never thought he was handsome or attractive and I really thought people were nuts to be swooning over him. Many many years later, I saw an older Michael Caine walking down the sidewalk with his wife and let me tell you - that man is soooo attractive !!! Very tall, very well dressed and OMG so attractive. I finally got it !! And his wife was with him and she was seriously drop dead gorgeous.
Now watch a Harry Palmer movie
Wonderful interview. Wish it was longer.
Great stuff Michael Caine is a gem, excellent interviewer as well, she knew exactly how to make the most of this
Wow. I was thinking exactly the opposite about her. She’s in well over her head. Michael is driving this. When he loses his train of thought about Bogart she doesn’t even go back to it. He wanted to say that John Hughes wanted to do the Man Who WBK before with Bogart but he died and Michael was thrilled that he was going to play his idols part in a Hughes film. That was why he started the story. She was nervous and didn’t ask any revealing questions or follow up on anything.
I like his story about when a starstruck fan met him in the street and said: "...it's you!....you're HERE" and he replied "well I've got to be bloody somewhere aint I"
That''s a Spike Milligan line from when he played Eccles on The Goon Show:: "Everybody's got to be somewhere!"
Caine is a true legend, universally loved by all, super duper star charisma and talent, and a diamond bloke all round. i saw a clip where he was taking the piss outta all the people who impersonate him, he said theyre all terrible and only ever sound like old Dudley playing Dud- 'bleeding gre'a garbo, tappin' on the window... '
Still listening in 2022...
Still listening in 23,000,000 b. C.
January 2023! 😸💚❤️💜💙😸💚
What a beautiful interesting and funny interview.
Brilliant. Thank you Michael
In his first book, his transitions were often, "...then I had a fry up and went to bed". A fry up is what it sounds like, fixing fried food for a meal. Great deal of respect for Michael.
A London style fry up would be. Sausages, eggs, bacon, fried bread, black pudding ( pigs blood ) plum tomatoes and baked beans 2 slices of bread and butter and copious amounts of strong tea....
Love this man.
What a lovely bloke and a great actor.
What a person! top actor, serious and funny about life and himself.
A wonderful man and a wonderful actor.
He is a legend this man. Working class hero.
GREAT INTERVIEW !
One of my favorites, star, lead or character
Wonderful as always Mr Caine 😂😂
This interview must have been from 2010,OUTSTANDING!
One of the last remaining Actors from days of yore. Keeper of the flame.
Remarkable. Thank you0
Just found this you tube video.
Long time since i have laughed so much. These days are filled with violence and woke filled discussions.
So funny, love him ❤
Michael caines book is brilliant .the autobiography .well worth reading .rags to riches
he gets younger!! Lov e his movies
Absolutely Epic human being 🤩💯
Pure Joy, what a life.
Entertaining and clever with a sense of humour. I feel I want to watch the films mentioned here.
A dinner with Richard Harris, Sean Connery, Michael Caine and Peter O'Toole woukd have been a hoot
Don’t forget Ollie Reid…
And Bob Hoskins
*And Marilyn Monroe !*
Why don't you guys just leave it to the four of them?
Yes, I think there is a Peter O’Toole video where he talks about his drinking habits with Richard Harris.
My all time favorite person I wish I had gotten to meet, who also happens to be a great actor.
Michael Caine is one of the greatest raconteurs of all time
I watch so much crap on RUclips. Michael Caine is so open and honest and entertaining; I could listen for hours. One final thought: "You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"
@@ChilliCheezdog Nearly posted that line myself, HA! HA! HA!
From Western Australia. 🇦🇺
Hey Sir Michael, read Acts the second chapter King James Bible!
Absolutely loved your work for years, The Italian Job, Second Hand Lions, The Eagle Has Landed etc.
GOD BLESS YOU!
Hey Sir Michael, forgot to mention your fabulous movie, The Education of Rita. Extraordinary!!!
As a Geordie it will always be Get Carter filmed around the corner where we were all dragged up in a slum.
I can't believe how quickly. Michael Caine aged. I saw a picture of him recently ( August 2023) and now i see him here, which confirms it. Maybe I forgot his true age. BUT, he's still a great person to listen too. Thanks Mike for all the great entertainment.
looks pretty good for around 90 !
One does have to remember the difference between a 90-year-old man in real life and the actor with lots of makeup shot, from the most favorable camera angles. And he is still sharp with a great wit!
My favourite Sir Michael Caine film is The Italian Job because he playes it like the villains where he used to live as a kid in South East London England
What an amazing actir he was. One of the best. ♥️♥️
That was awesome, rich and organic history from one of the most loved actors on the screen 👍
Not only is Michael a great actor, but a first rtae raconteur. I can hear him telling a story I;ve heard many times before, knowing exactly what he's going to say, abd yet I burst out laughing every time.
I love Michael Caine❤
So this interview was when Sean turned 80. 14 years ago.
I could watch Michael for ever... He came from The Elephant and Castle .... just down the road from The Old Kent Road from where I was born. love him XXXXXXXXXX
