Sir Michael Caine is releasing a new memoir this spring. He is opening up about the first time he met Tom Cruise at an event for Caine’s film Educating Rita, back in 1983.
“I turned around and there was this young actor, very polite, asking questions about how not to be just a flash in the pan. That was Tom, probably around the time of Risky Business. “I can’t remember what I said, but it obviously didn’t do him any harm! There was something special about him. He had a great attitude, this sense of poise."
Caine added that his wife Shakira arranged a special surprise for his 90th birthday celebration:
“[Shakira] arranged for Tom Cruise to come to my dinner at the River Café as a surprise. I was very touched.”
Caine himself has been a movie star for decades, having appeared in more than 130 films over his career and winning two Academy Awards
