Sir Michael Caine Overcomer!

Michael Caine From Broke Bloke to Blockbuster Beknighted Actor

Michael Caine - Humble Beginnings 

Sir Michael Caine was born on what might be thought of as England's lowest of rungs. The son of a charwoman and a fishmonger, Michael grew up poor and bullied. He won a scholarship to what we would call a private high school - but dropped out at age 16.

Michael Caine - Told To Quit Acting?


Michael Caine- I spent 30 years of my life not being wanted in movies at all.

It's difficult to imagine that an actor with Michael Caine's enormous skills and repertoire would ever have been told to give up acting, but according to his biography, it's true! It took a very long time for Michael to make it in the acting world.  However, he had faith as persistent as a mustard seed and kept on striving! If anyone ever tells you to give up, just think on that for a bit!


Here is an interview with Michael Caine:

Michael Caine - Humble Despite Enormous Success!

Despite his later life, success Michael Caine has continued to be humble in a world where this is very difficult to do indeed. 
For example, when Michael was voted The World's Sexiest Man, his ability to be humble truly shone through in an interview with Oprah. 
In his interview with Oprah, Michael shared how he found it quite ironic that he would be voted the Wold's Sexiest Man, as he was teased for his looks when he was in school. Yes, the story of Michael Caine mirrors that of the ugly duckling! 

Michael Caine - Philosophy on Beauty

On that same show with Oprah, Michael said something I have treasured in my heart for many years.
When Oprah mentioned that he had a beautiful wife, Michael's reply went something like this:
"You know it's an interesting thing beauty. You can meet someone and they don't seem to be remarkable at all, but when they open their mouth their beauty shines through. I am truly a fortunate man. Not only is my wife beautiful to look at on the outside, but she is truly beautiful on the inside too!"
Have a beautiful day!
