Michael Caine confirms his retirement at the age of 90. 

After over 70 years as an actor, Caine decides to finish up after his last role in The Great Escaper. 

“I’ve figured, I’ve had a picture where I’ve played the lead and it’s got incredible reviews. The only parts I’m likely to get now are old men,” Caine told BBC Radio 4’s Today Show.

Alfie (1966)

A much younger Michael Caine played the iconic role of Alfie Cartwright… Caine was just 33 years old at the time of filming.

It’s fair to say his performance as Alfie was his breakthrough role.

It got him nominated for an Oscar in 1966 for Best Actor as well as a BAFTA nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role that same year, AND a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama the following year.

It’s fair to say choosing Michael Caine to play Alfie was a very smart decision!
