Sir Michael Caine, 84, loses two stone amid cancer fears

The Youth star, 84, has cut back on drinking and has thrown himself into a new healthy living regime as he wants to be around to see his grandchildren reach their late teens.

‘I’ve had to cut back on the drinking and I’m always looking up what’s the best thing against cancer, so I’ll eat that or do this or not do that.’

The Italian Job star famously smoked 80-a-day before a lecture from the late actor Tony Curtis inspire him to quit.

Speaking on Sky News in 2010, he revealed: ‘I just learned myself (about Curtis’ death) and it was a terrible shock and instantly I remembered the first time I’d met him.

‘I was at a party, it was in winter and there was a fire and I was chain-smoking at the time, smoking a lot of cigarettes.
