“I keep saying I’m going to retire,” he said.
“Well, I am now.”
“The only parts I’m likely to get now are old men, 90-year-old men, maybe 85.
And I thought, ‘Well, I might as well leave with all this I’ve got wonderful reviews.
What have I got to do to beat this?'”
Still, Caine maintained that it was important to feature older characters in movies.
It’s partially why he continued to act for so long.
“With me, it’s not quite as diminishing as you think,” he said.
“I got COVID and I was sat there and I had nothing to do.
I couldn’t do any movies, nothing,” Caine said of writing the novel.
“I’ve always wanted to be a writer and I’ve written several biographies.
Then I wrote a fiction book…
I’m quite amazed [it’s been published].”
“I’ll write another book sometime because I so enjoyed writing,” he said.
“I sort of am retired now.”
