Caine: 'I was terrorist suspect'

Rex Features

Michael Caine has claimed that he was once suspected of being a terrorist.

The veteran actor, 75, revealed that when he was boarding a plane in Texas under his real name Maurice Micklewhite, the airport staff were wary of his behaviour.

He told GQ: "The guard said 'You've no luggage. You're a foreigner. You're in first class. And you're last to board. That is the profile of the 9/11 fliers'."

Caine appears as Alfred Pennyworth in The Dark Knight next month. The Batman Begins sequel opens in the UK on July 25.
