Rumors that he is retiring from the cinema are greatly exaggerated
Rumors that 88-year-old Michael Kane will retire after his latest film “Best Sellers”, after a 70-year career in cinema, are not true.
People close to the great actor say that he even reads two scripts for new projects.
“As for retirement, I’ve spent so many years getting up at 6 in the morning to shoot movies, and I don’t see how I can get rid of my alarm clock!“Kane told Variety some time ago.
He also wrote on Twitter: “I haven’t retired and not many people know that“.

Rumors that he was stepping down from acting began on Friday when Kane spoke about his career on the BBC radio program. He commented that he had not had suitable offers for two years and had a problem with his spine, which affected his legs, and he could not walk very well. So he guessed that he was not going to shoot soon, not that he wanted to leave the profession.
“Nobody makes movies that I would like to participate in. But I’m also 88. There aren’t many lead roles for such an old man“, says the British star.
However, some suggestions have emerged recently.
Kane adds that he has written several books that have been successfully published and has recently become more of a writer. “Which is great, because as an actor you have to get up at six-thirty in the morning and go to the studio. As a writer, you can also write in bed,” he said.
