Sir Michael Cane 'would have been dead' if unhealthy habits continued
In 2018, the two-time Oscar winner broke his ankle, but that's not why he needs assistance walking around. "I have a spine problem," Sir Caine, 89, revealed to BBC Radio Two presenter Mark Kermode in 2022, adding that it affects his leg, meaning he "can't walk very well". His wife, Shakira, told the Daily Mail: "He had a back operation quite recently. He had spinal stenosis."

The Mayo Clinic explains: "Spinal stenosis happens when the space inside the backbone is too small.
"This can put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves that travel through the spine."
People who have the condition can experience pain, tingling, numbness and muscle weakness, which can worsen over time.
The most common cause is wear and tear related to arthritis, and while surgery can help to relieve the pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, it can't cure arthritis.
