The 82-year-old English actor with career spanning over more than six decades said the decision to retire is not his to make, reported Digital Spy.
"You don't retire from movies, movies retire you. If you're very unfortunate, in your first movie. It nearly happened to me and so you keep going," Caine said on The Jonathan Ross Show.
The two-time Oscar winner is still going strong with a critically-acclaimed performance in dark comedy "Youth".
