Speaking about his daughter and grandchildren, the actor said: "You want to live forever to see what they do with their lives," revealing his family as a major inspiration.
He then shared the secret to sticking around for as long as possible, saying: "Younger wives, no snacking and wearing trainers all the time … and you have to be careful not to fall down."
Odd advice to say the least, but you don’t often make it to 90 years of age without picking up some sound life advice so it’s probably worth hearing him out.
Caine married his current wife, Shakira Baksh, in 1973, with the couple going on to have their daughter and have happily been married ever since. The story of how they got together is rather sweet as well, with Caine spotting Baksh in a modelling magazine, before tracking her down and starting his relationship with her.
