Why Sir Michael Caine is quick to zip
NOT MANY people know this but Sir Michael Caine has a secret ritual whenever he appears in public.
The actor, 80, soon to be seen in the heist flick Now You See Me, says it came about from his first on stage experience at the age of 10.
“I was in a pantomime and I got a round of applause and loved it. Afterward I realised it was because my fly was open! To this day, whenever I make a public appearance, my hand goes down to my fl y to make sure it’s not undone.”
Meanwhile, with him and Jack Nicholson the only actors to have been nominated for an Oscar in every decade from the Sixties to the 2000s, will Sir Michael be trying for one more?
“Yeah, I’ll have another go and then retire when I’m 90.”
