Sir Michael Caine never watches his old movies.

The legendary actor - who plays a pensioner struggling with dementia in new movie 'Is Anybody There?' - has no desire to look at old footage or photographs of himself as he would rather concentrate on the present day with his beloved family and friends.

He said: "I never look back at all. All my sentiment and emotion goes into my family. I'm an extremely family-oriented person and I have a very, very happy family life. That just doesn't include blood relations. I have friends who are close."

Although he won't look back on the past, 'The Italian Job' star thinks there is life after death and hopes his wife's belief in the supernatural is true.

He said: "My wife believes in ghosts and I don't. But I hope she's right. It'd be fun. Something's better than nothing.

"I hope there's an afterlife. As you get older you hope even more fervently. But I'm still far enough away to have a few doubts."
