Michael Caine tags Brexit as vote for freedom

Iconic British actor, Sir Michael Cane has explained his reasons for voting ‘Brexit’. In an interview with Sky News, the veteran actor said that he would rather be a “poor master than a rich servant”. Sir Michael tags Brexit as vote for “freedom” and believes that UK’s departure from the trading block “will be alright” as the Government begins the two year challenge of getting out. The Sleuth actor also rejected the idea that racism fuelled the movement to quit the EU. He said, “It wasn’t about the racism, immigrants or anything, it was about freedom.” “In politics, you’re always going into areas you’ve never been before, so you’re always going to get lost and then you’re going to find your way, and then it’ll be alright,” he added. The legendary actor was speaking at the premiere of his latest film, Going In Style, a film about three pensioners who decide to take back what is “rightfully owed to them” by robbing a bank.  Morgan Freeman, Alan Arkin, and Sir Michael Caine play geriatric bank robbers in the film. When asked about his thoughts on retirement, the 84 year old actor replied, “You get paid a fortune for kissing the most beautiful women in the world - not a bad job is it? That’s why none of us retire early.” The English actor and author is renowned for his distinctive working class cockney accent. Caine has appeared in over 115 films to date and has been nominated for an Oscar six times, winning his first Academy Award for the 1986 film Hannah and Her Sisters, and his second in 1999, for The Cider House Rules, as a supporting actor. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 1992 Queen’s Birthday Honours, and in the 2000 Birthday Honours he was knighted as Sir Maurice Micklewhite CBE by Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace.
