Michael Caine, famed for his many Hollywood roles including Batman, Interstellar and Going in Style, traded his walking stick in for a frame as he headed out in London after an operation.
The 89-year-old actor got out of the vehicle on Wednesday in a shirt and trousers as he placed a black cap on his head.

He was joined by a minder who held him upright as he placed one hand underneath his armpit while Michael walked towards his location with a rollator.
The actor has used both a walking stick and a frame ever since he took a fall on ice in 2018 and was left with a broken ankle.

He stepped out mere months after it was revealed that he had undergone a major operation at a hospital in London.
Daily Mail was told by Michael’s wife Shakira at the time: “He had a back operation quite recently, he had spinal stenosis.”
She added that he was a “strong man”.

The Hollywood sensation is certainly starting to slow down his acting jobs, but he’s still getting credits in films for as recently as 2021.
However, last year Caine did suggest that he will likely retire from acting after an incredibly long career in the biz.
Speaking to Daily Mail about his latest movie Aubrey Plazaa, he suggested the film would be his “last part” as he added that he has limited mobility.

He continued: “There’s not exactly scripts pouring in for a leading man that’s 88, you know?”
He recognised that his acting career had started to slow down before the stint anyway, particularly throughout Covid – and recognised that his illness might cause him strain.
“I haven’t worked for two years and I have a spine problem which affects my leg so I can’t walk very well,” he added.

Aside from acting, Michael has written a handful of books, including The Elephant in Hollywood and Blowing The Bloody Doors Off.
Caine’s film career, which has seen him appear in over 160 productions, has spanned seven decades, and while he’s now gearing up to close the door on any future roles, he remains a British film icon.
