Everyone reported yesterday that Michael Caine, while shooting in New Orleans, took a nap in a dressing room and was inadvertently locked in. Turns out it’s not true.
“Just read another story about me being locked in attick [sic], completely false,” Caine tweeted Thursday.
A few hours later, he added, “Everyone who has published this story has been tricked. Its completely untrue.” NYDN
First of all, Michael Caine has a Twitter? Second of all, the reason everyone believed this story is because Michael Caine is old and old people just randomly fall asleep wherever. They could have said Michael Caine fell asleep on a toilet and people would still have believed it. In fact, the most likely reaction to that would be, “Aww, old people are so cute.”
