Sir Michael's fishy fears - Oct 18 2007
Sir Michael Caine has reportedly revealed that he once thought he saw a ghost in his bedroom - but it actually turned out to be a smoked haddock.

The film legend's dad apparently insisted he leave his bedroom window open at night to let fresh air in, and because the room was so cold, the family left fresh fish in there to prevent it from going off, reports The Sun.

The silver-haired actor told the paper: "My father, who was very tough, always insisted, 'You've got to be healthy, keep the windows open at night.' So, even in winter, the windows were always open. It was freezing cold.

"My father was a fish market porter and he used to steal fish to feed us. He used to keep the fish in our bedroom because it was the coldest room in the house."

He added: "And one night, I woke up and I yelled because at the end of the bed there's this ghost. I'm screaming, and my mother came in and said, 'What's the matter?'

"She turned the lights on and there was a big plate of smoked haddock. And smoked haddock has phosphorous in it and it glows in the dark. I thought it was a ghost, it was smoked haddock."


Caine invites you to chill out - July 31 2007
Sir Michael Caine has announced the name of his new chill-out album - Cained - and has compiled a selection of his favourite tracks for the record.

The Alfie actor, 74, decided to embark on a new direction as music mogul after having dinner with Sir Elton John.

The pair were at Sir Elton’s mansion in Nice, in the south of France, listening to music when Sir Michael realised he was a chill-out music buff.

The movie star kept telling Sir Elton the name and date of recording of every track playing in the background.

The Get Carter, Zulu and Italian Job star said: "I’ve loved this type of music for years, and have literally hundreds of CDs.

"I’ve been buying them for about 15 years, and really know my way around.

"About ten years ago I started making my own compilations. I’ve always been interested in music, and over the years have made literally thousands of tapes. And with chill-out I suppose I finally found my forte."

Cained - The Album, which will contain tracks from Chicane’s No Ordinary Morning to Nina Simone and Felix Da Housecat’s Sinnerman, will be released in September.
