life:
Happy 80th, Michael Caine!
LIFE celebrates the man’s career with a series of previously unpublished photos from 1966, made by LIFE’s Bill Ray. Ray remembers that Caine “seemed to be a magnet, without ever lifting a finger. And that was another part of the laid-back thing. He seemed to have perfected a way to make things look easy, and so things became easy. See the photos here.

Let’s all take a moment to acknowledge the amount of dick Michael Caine slinged back in the day.
I appreciate a man who also puts money first. Be in Miss Congeniality? Jaws the Revenge? Austin Powers? Journey 2? How much am I getting paid? Fuck yeah I’ll do that. Man after my own heart.
Don’t get me wrong, the man has been in some great stuff. But when the money is right, the man has no standards.
