Michael was on the show The Jonathan Ross Show on ITV recently. The iconic actor said:
“It takes a long time to get better. I am nearly there.”
He also added:
“I only have this stick when I go out in case I get [into] circumstances.”

“If you have a broken ankle, everywhere you go, the lift is out of order. You’ll notice that!”
Michael Caine and his autobiography
When Michael Caine suffered an injury to his ankle after he slipped in the snow, he had to be on bed rest for recovery and healing to take place. The father-of-two wrote an autobiography during this time and the book is titled ‘Blowing the Bloody Doors Off: And other lessons in life’.
When Michael was on the ITV show, he also talked about his autobiography. He said:
“I was going to write the book and I was doing notes on it.”
He continued:
“Then I broke my ankle and I’m sitting there doing nothing, watching television in the day time.”
Michael further said:
“In the book I write something which I say to my children and grandchildren, ‘if you find a bad situation, try to use the difficulty and find something good in it.”
He said:
“I thought, I’m sitting here for weeks with this broken ankle, use this difficulty ‘so I wrote the book’.”
Michael Caine talks about retirement at 60

“Having retired, I went to win an Academy award for the Cider House Rules, and made six fabulous movies for Christopher Nolan, including three Batmans.”
Michael spoke further on it:
“I suddenly realized what a mistake you can make thinking that your life is over, and you’ve retired, 65 is a very young age now.”
Michael wants others to also think before they retire. He said:
“If you’re going to retire, think about it because you may be making a mistake like I did.”
