Michael Caine confirms "The Great Escaper" will be his final motion picture and announces his retirement

British actor Michael Caine, who starred in “The Italian Job” and “The Dark Knight,” has retired.

The 90-year-old two-time Oscar winner announced it on BBC Radio 4's “Best of Today” podcast on Saturday.

Caine added, “I keep saying I’m going to retire,” adding, “Well, I am now.”

According to him, “The Great Escaper,” released earlier this month, will be his last film. “I played the lead and it got incredible reviews. I figured I might as well depart with all this since the only parts I'll get are old men—90 or 85 years old. I have great reviews. What will I do to win?

The film starred Glenda Jackson and Caine as Bernard Jordan, a 90-year-old who escapes a care home to attend the 70th anniversary of the D-Day Landings in France.

Caine began acting on stage in the early 1950s and made his film debut in 1956.

He legally adopted the screen name Caine from the 1954 film “The Caine Mutiny” after being born Maurice Joseph Micklewhite, Jr.

Caine won his first Academy Award for supporting performance in 1986 Woody Allen film “Hannah and Her Sisters” and his second for supporting role in 1999 film “The Cider House Rules.”

The CBE and knighthood were awarded to Caine in 1993 and 2000, respectively.

He said on the podcast that he created 160 films and “always wanted to be a writer.” Though acting will end, “there will be writing.”
