In a 2021 interview with The Guardian, the actor revealed that the change was relatively easy as most of the people who knew him as Maurice are no longer alive.
He said: “But I haven’t got any family members now, so no one’s called me Maurice for years. Everyone’s dead. My brother, my mother, my father. If I have any other relations, they’d be living in Bermondsey.”
The actor has also seemingly cut off any personal connection to the name, describing Michael Caine as “amazing” and “fabulous”, while Maurice Micklewhite was “broke” and “out of work”.
The London-born star first rose to fame in the 1963 film Zulu and has consistently starred in an array of blockbuster hits ever since.
Sir Michael was 30 at the time and had been a struggling actor for years before getting this break.
