Veteran star Michael Caine believes every man should be forced to do National Service and hates “wokery.” The 90-year-old was 12 when World War Two ended and was called up to the army when he was 18 and sent to occupied Berlin – before he was sent to fight in Korea a year later, reports aceshowbiz.com.
“I think every young man should be made to do it. It truly makes a man of you,” he told the Daily Mail’s You magazine.
But Caine said he soon fell in love with the money he could make from acting when he came out of service. He added: “I only became an actor after I left the army… I got a movie and was like, ‘F*** this! I love films more. I liked the money and all.”
Caine’s latest film is ‘The Great Escaper’, in which he plays real-life World War Two veteran Bernard Jordan.
