I don't think I can surpass that anymore."nnDespite his legacy in Hollywood, Caine is pragmatic about the future and acknowledges that he is unlikely to secure any more significant roles.
He humorously remarks, "The only roles left for me are those of 90-year-old men. Maybe I can still pass for 85," he adds with a chuckle. "But these are not leading roles anymore.
