Michael Caine shares his secrets to a long life
Michael Caine has shared his top three tips for living a long, happy and healthy life.
While promoting his new movie The Great Escaper, the 90-year-old Hollywood legend credited his nine decades of life to three things.
He told the Daily Mail, "Younger wives, no snacking and wear trainers at all times."
Caine then quickly added, "And you have to be careful not to fall down."
"Happens all the time. You have to just get up and carry on."
Elsewhere in the candid interview, Caine explained how much the business of movie making has changed since his big break, discussing the relatively new phenomenon of having intimacy coordinators on set for love scenes.
Asked about the coordinators, that are not found on most film and TV sets, Caine responded, “Really? Seriously? What are they? We never had that in my day.
“Thank god I’m 90 and don’t play lovers anymore is all I can say. In my day you just did the love scene and got on with it without anyone interfering. It’s all changed.”
Caine shared that his love of movies came after he served in the army, which he believes every able man should do to serve their country.
The actor completed national service in the military himself, serving in Iserlohn, West Germany in the aftermath of World War II and seeing action in Korea.
“I think every young man should be made to do it,” he said. “It truly makes a man of you.”
He added: “I only became an actor after I left the army. I did rep for nine years then got a movie and was like, ‘f*** this! I love films more.’ I liked the money and all.”
