Caine rose to prominence during the 1960s in films like “Zulu” and “The Italian Job,” Variety reported. He has played Alfred Pennyworth in “Batman” films directed by Christopher Nolan, and has appeared in comedies like “Alfie” and “Austin Powers in Goldmember.”
In September, Caine appeared on the red carpet at the London premiere of his latest film, “The Great Escaper,” People reported. The film is based on the true story of a World War II veteran who escapes from a care home to attend D-Day anniversary celebrations in France, according to Reuters.
Glenda Jackson, who starred in the film with Caine, died in June. The film was released for general viewing in early October.
During his radio interview, Caine reflected on his career successes and what parts he would likely be offered if he continued acting, Variety reported.
“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,’” Caine said. “What have I got to do to beat this?
“You don’t have leading men at 90, you’re going to have young handsome boys and girls.”
