I worked with Michael Caine on a film called The Quiet American. I was never to ask a celebrity for an autograph. Since my Nanna liked his films I asked his assistant if he could write a little something. The next day came a black and white picture with his Autograph wishing my Nanna Shirlie a happy Mother's day, with love Michael. Such a pleasure to work with.
What was your Nan's reaction?
@@CaptainGrimes1 Surprised and loved it very much.
He's a real gent!!!
He 's one of the best actors of his generation.
Michael is such a treat, we will never see the like of him again.
But he’s still with us!
Why ? Every generation produces people like this and has done for millennia .
..Every generation of new actors and media writers etc gets more pathetic with Time ...now there is the likes of Ben Drew and John Boyega ...it makes you nearly puke !!!
Sir Michael Caine is one of the few actors I would love to meet.
the blip on sir michaels record is ;Harry Brown' ..which was rubbish and anti-british propaaganda...
Sir Michael Caine is such an icon, with his old school cockney accent it shall make this podcast far more intriguing
Not a cockney
@@marknewbold2583 I think most people mean a London accent.
michael is working class ...now all actors are posho's from eton etc ......
@@marknewbold2583 The elephant and castle is well within earshot of St Mary Le Bow Church at Cheapside, fun fact there were only 2 original parts of London,
Caine is from one of them.
@@marknewbold2583💯💯💯
No a bad interviewer at all. Got the right questions, wasn't scared of Caine. And Caine himself....as always, Great.
Magical Michael Caine. The interviewer is very good!
What a down-to-earth guy what you see is what you get a real gentleman.
Michaels autobiography was the most enjoyable book iv ever read , i couldn't put it , very funny very interesting and very inciteful. Legend.
Ditto!!!
Yeah great book.
Is this from his book or has he done a separate podcast?
He’s one of the last true greats of cinema. I could listen to his stories all day long.
You might enjoy his book - strongly recommend the audio version. It's as if he's there, talking to you personally.
Caine is also a great raconteur and often tells hilarious stories about his life and career on TV chat shows. He's a very funny bloke. I bet he would be great laugh to listen to while enjoying a pint in a pub.
@@allancerf9038 Is that the one called 'From The Elephant To Hollywood' because I have that in the original hardback edition.
Is the audiobook version abridged or is it the same as the print version and how many CDs is on it?
@@stephenalanmoore7278 It's a download and no it's not From The Elephant to Hollywood. I'll get you details tomorrow.
A friend of mine was in her local when Mr Cain walked in, he was filming Batman at the time. He spent the evening drinking with said friend and is just what he appears to be, a total gent and great company, a class act.
You could at least spell his name right.
@@davidhull1481 There's always one Narcissist out there that has to piss on anything positive that doesn't involve them. Go preen in the mirror you freak.
@@davidhull1481 👏👏👏👏🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏
It’s Caine, get it right
@@DarkKnightwing75 What I said.
Caine tells the story of bringing his dear old mum over to visit him in LA in the late sixties early 70s, the two of them are collected by limo at the airport on a hot sunny day and on the way to the hotel his mum said " honestly I can't believe it" to which Caine said "what's that mum, what can't you believe"? She says " a beautiful sunny day and nobody's got their washing hanging out!
That sums up his life, grounded in reality.
Awww bless!!!
One of the single greatest actors ever. Grossly underestimated in America. Madness doesn’t just make a song about you if you’re crap!
Did you know that Caine himself appears on the song saying 'My name is Michael Caine!' several times and he also did the bit at the end when he says 'I think we've got it there, don't you?'
Apparently, his daughter is a huge Madness fan and so he did it to please her. She was thrilled and excited with the gesture.
He has never got grandiose and remembers where he came from . A rare beast in the movie world.
His scariest character, for me, was the gangster he played in 'Mona Lisa'. One of the most impressive portrayals of a gangland lowlife I've seen, along with Edward G. Robinson as Johnny Rocco, in 'Key Largo'.
Mona Lisa is a great film. Great script, great acting from whole cast
A great film, 'Mona Lisa.' Bob Hoskins also was incredible. And others ... Great film.
I had a friend, a plumber by trade, who I met in an r/c model aero club, who came from the same part of London and sounded exactly like Michael Caine, so much so that if he started talking behind you would swear it was Caine in person. He'd play up to it at times ("Not many people know that", if you get the joke ;-). He had the same manner and, like Caine, was a lovely chap as well. Sadly gone now, but I do miss him and his unmistakeable voice.
Not many people know that joke......
So your old mate never had to do a Michael Caine impression, as he talked like that normally. 😀
Very credible. He grew up in Elephant & Castle, which carried a threatening atmosphere then, and still does now, even though it's been totally re-built. I think they call it 'attaching spirits'.
no, some of the estates are still there and some of the scoundrels still live there!
@@GG_MTV my family lived in it for years (in reality ..unlike you ) ..YOU are certainly not indicative of the majority people who lived there ......😆 nice try tho shill
..There are NO multiracial gangs strolling about ...what happens is called 'Ghettoisation' ..blacks stay with blacks ..and whites stay with whites ...unfortunate but thats reality for you ...most white families moved out years ago ....
@@krishnan-resurrection714 you daft racist
@@GG_MTV As if it’s terrible to want England for the English, and to be honest about it. ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
Sir Michael Caine is a legend and just love ❤️ his voice a voice that u can recognise everywhere and anywhere. Xx he is
🤘🌟awesome 🌟🤘xx
🤘❤😊🤘
This was a surprising treat. Sir Michael and a great interviewer. Thank you so much.
Watch his interview with Parkinson it is brilliant.....
This man is a national gem.
Michael will always be a true icon of cinema, a grand master of his art and an inspirational man "with his head screwed on"
Sir Michael. Legend! 👍
One if the best actors of our time. Legend Sir Michael Caine.
Absolutely love this man for the characters he plays as well as the man him self I could listen to him for hours about his life and his story he is One of our greats and quintessential what is to be British
You mean English...
He's not an EastEnder either.
The Elephant is south of the river.
No I mean British what I said The best of
..whats the best now has to offer ?....Ben Drew ?......Jon Boyega ? ....stick them ......😆...the trash ......!
@@krishnan-resurrection714 yes they have nothing to offer you are so right those two stick them in the trash honestly in my honest opinion I think acting is a dying art these days all you need to do is look good behind a CGI blue screen
@@JohnDoe-rn6pz 👍
Great questions………hats off to the interviewer.
One of my greatest regrets is that Sir Michael never played 007..I think he would have been a spectacularJames Bond...
..he played Harry Palmer ....thats why could not do it. ... .
The names bond.... James bond... Not alot of people know that🤣
Love the interviewer! Very natural!!
Great job!
One of my all-time favorite actors.
So great to see the incomparable Michael Caine. One of my very favourite screen actors. 🌟
I could sit there all day listening to him chat about 'anything' because he would put his 'spin' on it which makes it entertaining
Michael Caine is a great actor. He worked with the likes of Sir Laurence Olivier. He conducts himslef with such class and dignity that many young actors should take note. These are just some of the things people all over the world love him in any movie he appears in. No matter the movie he just makes it better. He is one of my all time favorites.
"Not a lot of people know I knew the Kray twins"!
The little boy next to michael in the opening credits of get carter on the train was billy hannah.. Lovely man who was my boss in Sunderland.. I think its his own dad nxt to him as well.
An ex Glasgow top cop once said most so called gangsters are sordid cowards
Pure jealousy talking there. He's likely annoyed that they make more scratch and catch his missus's fancy is all.
Such a great character he is a man's man. Have really enjoyed his films and love his interviews. A legend love him he is my all time favourite xx
Fantastic interview
I didn't realize how funny he was, great bloke.
That was a spot on criticism from the Richardson's ( I am guessing) about Carter not being married. No film critic would have twigged about that point.
Yep I lived on the same manor as them in the 60s and what wonderful times they were.
What a treat -- one of the great actors of my lifetime talking about... well, anything really, but gangsters, sure, why not. I'm all in. Next to Godfather I & II, and maybe a black and white movie from the 40s, and maybe another Scorsese, Get Carter's my favorite gangster movie. Ordinarily, I'd find the character Jack Carter repugnant, loathsome, but because Michael Caine's playing him I find him quite relatable.
"Get Carter" is such a classic film.
..what about 'ill manors' by Ben drew ? ....now that really is load of old crap 😁😆🤣
He made me cry in "Get Carter" the scene where he's watching his niece in a blue movie, and he tears up..You don't see what he sees, but by gum, you know what he felt!..Marvellous....
ill manors is garbage ...as was 'HARRY BROWN' ..TRASH ! . .
Get Carter has one of the best soundtracks I’ve ever heard in a movie….
Great interviewer
His insights are phenomenal. I could listen to him all day and be a much wiser person for it.
He once said, a proper gangster doesn't say "Do that again and I'll smash your face in"; he'll just smash your face in.
Another insight, gleaned from a forensic psychiatrist, was that "Psychopaths become the very thing they fear the most".
What would a psychopath fear? They have flat emotions. I think anger is the only real emotion they are known to have but that's tied in with their ego and lust for control.
So yeah I find what you said interesting but they are known to be flat emotionally.
My mother once said "That sounds like gun shots". I mocked her a bit, but she said "that definitely sounds like gun shots". I said "Who have you ever heard firing a gun" - she said "Reggie Kray".
Oh Michael what a great statement you make “they are so powerful that they are right”. Most of us have met unpleasant serious people and that is the one thing they all have in common.
Love mr Caine his films are class and he's a top actor the best England has ever
Great insight .
That was very interesting !
For me one of my favourite movies of all time and definitely his best film goes to the Italian job, an absolute classic.
Get carter is still one of my favourite films best gangster flick , that and good fellows
Get Carter is a great movie. One of his best behind only Zulu and The Man Who Would Be King in my opinion.
My fave…
Yes great movies followed by dirty rotten scoundrels,Alfie,Italian job,and without a clue,and many more.
My favourite actor of all time and gentlemen.
Wonderful insights.
Michael Caine,,,is all class,,,and also a great actor.
Sir Michael.he.has.never forgotten his roots.Lovely.man.and.actor
Legend...straight up ...legend..
I love Michael. Funny, good-looking, & had great movies. Miss his movies.
Michael Cain in Zulu.
"Oihhhh stop frowin' blaady spears at me!"
She's a very good interviewer.
I remember as a kid of 10 years old one of the Krays brothers coming with my dad to my flat in Islington. I have no idea of the story behind it.
Your Dad was Ronnie Kray's lover?
It is fact, Ronnie the gay man. His brother Reg was the rumor only but Ronnie was for sure.
Probably your old man was getting pumped by him
@@StevieZero Your dad and Ronnie both bummed you.
A Legend/Icon !! Great Actor !!
One of the greats...any film he was in was special and very entertaining.
..except Harry brown ...which was rubbish ....
Mr Caine an actor amongst actors, just a wonderful guy.
I agree she is a good interviewer looks like she was a fan as well
Part of the reasons for Michael's authenticity was that he had the actual experience. He grew up in South London and knew what gangs were like, so could do those films with ease. He had a near death experience in Korea so could do the war stuff. Today's actors have lived totally cosseted lives so there is not that realism.
yeah, that gang from elephant and castle were known as THE RICHARDSONS
@@trinihammer OK thanks for that. Next time I'm down the Elephant and castle I will know to give the Richardsons a wide berth!
@@patricksmith4424 nah, no need to do that one of the brothers lives in south africa and the other is still in prison. so you should be alright now.
all that korea war stuff is garbage .....michael never saw any conflict .....😆
Už zase mám dvojče a jsme Králové drogového syndikátu v Evropě?! :D
Jste výborný :D připomínáte mi bráchu... Před chvílí tady byl a jasně ukázal, proč s Váma dělá :D
Jste všichni legendy :D
Film of that disco encounter would be awesome
How exciting
Great interview, he's my favorite actor.
Who is the interviewer?
Another great actor that’s been in some of my favourite films.
Namely Zulu, The Italian Job, The Battle of Britain, The Man Who Would be King, The Eagle has Landed etc etc. Absolutely loads of them.
Get Carter
Sleuth, Educating Rita, A Bridge too far, Alfie
After a lifetime of movies, his are some of the few that linger in my consciousness.
@@youturd55 I didn’t really rate that one. The best part was the intro music on the train.
Harry Brown was the worst ...utter communist drivel ..- right down to the 'multi-racial' gang ..lol .. anyone who has grown up on London estates knows the reality of 'Ghettoisation' ....😆
Michael Caine LEGEND 🙏✝️
I saw his movie about the Hatton Garden robbery and he curses so much in it that it really stood out.
John Bindon who played Sid Fletcher in Get Carter was an enforcer for the Kray Twins apparently.
Michael Caine you legend🙏🏻
Michael top bloke & brilliant actor 👏
One of my favorite actors ever, such a cool guy, he is classy, inteligent, funny, a true gent who actualy grew up with gangsters, you can not make that up!
One of my favorite actors of all time My Cocaine has such a fascinating and interesting life, he's been a soldier during the Korean War and then later a busy, yet successful actor, then later a successful restaurateur! What a life!
My cocaine isn’t that interesting : (
ha ha ....."my cocaine" .....I'll be using that....though not to excess ....
@@bobbybisset4103 Yeah, I was being funny, but only because I remember seeing a guest on the old Craig Ferguson show; it was some pretty English actress who was saying if you say those words like that then You've sounded like a Cockney accent. Just a play on words 😲
@@philipthomas6808 well, it made me laugh so thanks for that 👍
Respect!
Great actor and gentleman. One of my favourites. Who is the interviewer?
Holly Newson. She does a lot of interviews for Audible.
Brilliant actor and storyteller
Harry Brown is a must watch!
Great story teller
They are so powerful the are right ! That says a lot
Legend,my grandfather and grandmother new his parents.
Sir Michael Caine is a real actor. I'm happy he's still around. May God keep it that way.
who the f**k is sir michael KING????????????
The character, Carter, may not have been married, but it was family that drove his actions.
Awesome actor!!! :)
Great man one an only Michael Caine
Michael Caine... absolute legend!
I like the way where he plays himself in every film and made it to Hollywood 🍺
Consummate actor and funny as hell.
Michael and Sean, Murphy broke the mould when he made them!
Legend
Amazing guy
Get carter is a great film, a classic
Cool! Proper geezer he is.
Absolutely the only man who deserves the privilege of saying, "My name is Michael Caine," and meaning it.
Another great line from one of his many memorable films that are far too numerous to remember at all is, "Sometimes, we start with zed and work backwards, just for fun," or, "They had an extra pint of milk today; which either means that there are more people over there, or they are drinking more tea... heh-heh-heh-heh-heh... What are you doing here? You're not due on for hours yet."
Nobody can do it better. He and Ronnie Barker are the greatest character actors that England, and therefore the world, has ever seen.
The Ipcress File?
"People that didn't want to die." LOL!!!
Im related to him. Michael Caine. My late grandmother's cousin. Proud of that. :)
Lol
@@francishunt562 Laugh all you want but my grandmother is in his autobiography.
Get Carter brilliant film🎥👍.
My Favourite.My Favourite Scene is on the building staircase with Grumby before he tosses him over,What he says about girls like Doreen so right.
@@alfching2499 And then , one of the Architects says , I've a feeling we won't get our fees , on this one..
A Case Of the Film being Better than the Book.
There was I think only ONE person in Get Carter with the right accent - Alun Armstrong as Keith.
Brilliant actor. Lovely guy.
