Michael Caine doesn’t care about his carbon footprint

Sir Michael Caine doesn’t worry about his carbon footprint because he was  »so poor for so long ».

The Oscar-winning actor – who stars in new sci-fi film ‘Interstellar’ alongside the likes of Anne Hathaway and Matthew McConaughey – was raised in London, and he says his modest start in life means he doesn’t fret about over-indulging now.

Appearing at the press conference to promote the new movie in his home city yesterday (29.10.14), the 81-year-old star was asked what he does for the environment, to which he responded:  »I was so poor for so long that I didn’t use anything. I didn’t eat very much, but I figured the world owed me a debt.

 »I’ve been eating very well and have had a big car for a long time. But I still haven’t caught up with my youth. »

As well as not being worried about his carbon footprint, Michael recently revealed isn’t too bothered about getting drunk anymore because he is too much of a  »control freak » to enjoy the experience.

He said:  »I’m a control freak. That’s why I never get drunk. I’ve been drunk, but that was before I knew I was a control freak. I suppose it’s just me, it’s who I am. I love to be outside and I love to be casting an eye over everything. »
