These sketches of Michael Caine's style down the years are wonderful

A true British icon

These sketches of Michael Caine's style down the years are wonderful
28 January 2016

Like a fine wine sipped by Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon in the Italian Rivera, Michael Caine just gets better with age.

Case in point: his latest film Youth, directed by The Great Beauty’s Paolo Sorrentino, which pairs together Caine and Harvey Kietel as two old friends spending time at a chic resort in Austria and ruminating over love, life and loss. Befitting his aura, Caine has never looked better.

So by way of paying tribute to his most striking roles down the years, we asked Helen Green - who you might know as the artist behind that David Bowie GIF that did the rounds recently - to exclusively sketch some of the most iconic looks in Caine's stellar career.

You can see the GIF below, and beyond that we've listed the sketches for you to admire in full.










A more classical look in Youth
