About this listen

The Hollywood screen legend brings his wit, insight, entertaining stories and wisdom to answer questions about every aspect of his long life - inspiring us all to Be More Michael Caine.

I'm always asked questions - by fans, by other actors and friends, by my grandchildren. They want to know how I've lasted so long, how I handle fame, why I chose to do some of my films, which films and actors I like best and so forth.

They also want to know what makes me tick, what makes me get up in the morning in my 90s, and whether I'll ever retire. (The answer to that one is "No!")

Over a long life, I've learnt a lot and had the opportunity to reflect. I've seen a new generation grow up, among them my own grandchildren, facing the world with all its challenges and problems.

I hope they'll find Don't Look Back, You'll Trip Over: My Guide to Life helps them to be optimistic - and shows that anyone can blow the bloody doors off.

An iconic book, from one of our best-loved actors: this is Michael Caine at his very best.

Few authors are good narrators but, of course, actors are trained narrators so it was very disappointing not to have Michael Caine not read his story. It never occurred to me that would not be the case so I didn’t bother checking. A worthwhile book anyway but half the audio book it could/would have been if Caine had read it

Why didn’t the author narrate his book?

I’d pre-ordered this book because I assumed it was narrated by Michael himself, and was disappointed to discover it was someone else.
But then listening to it, I realised it’s actually a great move - Eddie sounds so much like 1960’s Michael Caine, it’s a great performance.

Great book, Michael is a legend and full of wisdom.

The narrator is actually good!

Excellent wisdom & knowledge imparted in this book by a man who is exemplary in character & who has lived a long hard working life.

I really enjoyed listening to this 'chat' with Michael Cain.

Very disappointed by the stand in narrator for Michael Caine, it was distracting listening to someone trying to be him. Couldn't finish

Michael is missing
