The 92-year-old actor made the announcement again as he received an award at the Red Sea international film festival in Saudi Arabia
Michael Caine has offered an update on his possible retirement from acting at the Red Sea international film festival in Saudi Arabia, appearing to call time on his career for the fourth time.
Taking to the stage to accept a lifetime achievement award, the actor said: “I kept going until I was 90, which was two years ago, and I thought to myself I’m not going to do anything else because I’ve had all the luck you can get.”
The actor was introduced to the audience and wheeled on stage by Vin Diesel, with whom he worked on undead horror The Last Witch Hunter in 2015. In September it was announced the pair would be teaming up again for a belated sequel to that film, in which Caine plays a priest who assists Diesel’s immortal warrior to stop a plague ravaging the planet.
Caine, 92, first retired in 2009, after gang crime drama Harry Brown and then again, 24 films later, in 2021, after starring as novelist in Best Sellers. He returned for little-seen Czech historical drama Medieval in 2022 and, the following year, starred in The Great Escaper as a D-day veteran who travels to Normandy solo from his care home for the 70th anniversary.
