Sir Michael Caine used a walking stick as he made a rare red carpet appearance in London on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The 90-year-old actor was seen in the capital midweek when he joined the cast of The Great Escaper for the movie\u2019s premiere at London\u2019s BFI Southbank.<\/p>\n
The star sat down as he posed for photos at the star-studded bash, looking as sharp as ever in a navy suit with a pale blue shirt.<\/p>\n
Sir Michael \u2013 who has been seen using a walking stick and a frame on a number of occasions since suffering a broken ankle after falling on ice in 2018 \u2013 was helped onto the red carpet by director Oliver Parker.<\/p>\n
The iconic actor also posed for photos with the cast as they gathered around him.<\/p>\n

Jordan went on a 48-hour adventure to commemorate the former soldiers\u2019 fallen comrades at the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings.<\/p>\n
The film\u2019s synopsis also notes that his journey \u2018marked the culmination of his 60-year marriage to Rene\u2019, who is played by the late Oscar-winning actress Glenda Jackson.<\/p>\n
Sir Michael recently suggested playing Bernard is \u2018probably\u2019 going to be his final role.<\/p>\n
He told the Daily Telegraph: \u2018I\u2019m 90 now, and I can\u2019t walk properly and all that.\u2019<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Sir Michael added: \u2018With COVID and all that, I hadn\u2019t done a picture for three years, and I thought I was finished.<\/p>\n
\u2018And I suddenly did it \u2014 and had such a wonderful time\u2026 I was so happy to do it.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018I just loved the character of Bernie,\u2019 he also said. \u2018I thought he was incredible, and it\u2019s so beautifully written.\u2019<\/p>\n
Following the news of Jackson\u2019s death in June, Sir Michael called his The Great Escaper co-star \u2018one of our greatest movie actresses\u2019.<\/p>\n
