Two Time Academy Award Winner, Michael Caine To Retire From Acting After Best Sellers
Los Angeles, October 16 - Michael Caine, a British actor, and two-time Academy Award winner, is putting a brake on his legendary 70-year old film career. The 88-year old said in an interview broadcast Friday that the newly-released "Best Sellers" is the last film he has acted. ## "Because I haven't worked for two years, and I have a spine problem which affects my legs so I can't walk very well, so...", he told BBC radio host Simon Mayo. "And I also wrote a book, a couple of books, which were published and were successful, so I'm now not an actor, I'm a writer, which is lovely because as an actor you have to get up at half-past six in the morning and go to the studio. As a writer, you can start writing without leaving the bed". ## Caine, in his decades-long film and tv career, worked over 170 films including "The Dark Knight" trilogy. He got nominated for Oscars six times and went on to win on two occasions for roles in 1986's "Hannah and Her Sisters" and 1999's "The Cider House Rules". ## The frequent collaborator of Nolan's film, Caine most recently appeared opposite John David Washington and Robert Pattinson in the Nolan directed Tenet and Martin Owen's Twist. When asked if the Aubrey Plaza co-starring Best Sellers is his final film, Caine answered, "I think it would be".## "I don't have any — there haven't been any offers, obviously, for two years, because nobody's been making any movies I'd want to do", Caine said of the COVID-19 pandemic. "But also, I'm 88. There's not exactly scripts pouring out with a leading man who's 88, you know?".## The veteran actor turned author has penned multiple biographies and said he wrote his fictional debut, a thriller titled "If You Don't Want To Die", during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.## Stay tuned...
