- Story Text: Oscar-winning actor Michael Caine on Wednesday (September 6) said he felt positive about Britain leaving the European Union, telling Reuters ''you have to make your own decisions about your own life''.
The 84-year-old star who is promoting a documentary about life in the 1960s at the Venice film festival said it was the job of the prime minister to tell people in the UK what to do and not ''this other man I have never seen before".
Caine is one of only a few creatives so far to come out in support of Brexit.
Caine was joined by director David Batty in Venice where their film ''My Generation'' is screening out of competition.
Through detailed interviews with Caine and other celebrities who made their names in the 60s, including Paul McCartney and model Twiggy, the film uses archive footage to explore the cultural changes that took place at the time.
Commenting on the younger generations today, Caine said he believed their energy was going into technology. He was upbeat about the future, however. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
