Page 1 of Michael Caine Says we are losers & we all hate him

He is refering to Football & Tennis regarding the first part, I`d just like to say I for one do not hate him. I think he is a good actor, has made a lot of very good films & has been good for the UK. I wish him all the best for the future & may he continue keeping us all entertained.

I can agree with his sentiments, especially the latter. Why, dont we all wake up every morning and think "gosh, how I hate that Michael Caine fellow"? Personally speaking, barely a day goes by without me voicing my contempt for him.

What a sad, bitter, egoistical cretin he has become.... I did like him, but not any more!

ps, in all seriousness, in what context did he say these things and what is the exact quote? If he`s feeling a little fragile I don`t want to stick the knife in unnecessarily, or at least without the facts at my disposal.

And he thinks saying that will win friends..?

He`s been living with his head up his own ass for so long i don`t care what he thinks, he`s probably feeling hurt because someone slagged him off in the brittish press.

It`s a bit like Shawn Connery, became bitter with England, took American citizanship, another one gone. Don`t let the door hit you on the way out..

They are only actors after all, no big lose, who cares.

Exactly - they are actors, not ambassadors. I personally couldn`t really care less what they think or say.

I`d still like to see the Michael Caine quote in its proper context, though - do you have a link to a news item or similar?

Apart from the obvious films, he hasn`t exactly had a shining film career, he`s starred in more B movies than he has A movies.

Jaws the Revenge anyone?

Quote:

[about starring in `Jaws: The Revenge`] "I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific."

yes..but Zulu, Alfie, Italian Job, Cider House Rules, Mona Lisa, Last Orders, Little Voice, Educating Rita, Harry Palmer films (well, some of them)....he knows his stuff....was a great masterclass on film acting he gave on TV a while ago......I wouldnt believe all quotes you read in the papers and then take it all terribly personally. I`m sure he wasn`t talking about anyone here :-).

I watched an interview with Michael caine a few months back and quite honestly couldn`t believe what he said. He said QUOTE.
"The mark of a great actor is not what he says but what he doesn`t say"
Christ almighty if thats the only criteria for being a great actor then maybe Steven Hawkings should think about a career change.:)

what an idiot.
this is clearly a self obsessed whinge to curry more favour with the americans. how and why has england ever been anything but good to him i dont know. a very average actor if you ask me. i thought the last bafta whine would have got it out of his system.
