Actor Michael Caine has revealed in his autobiography that he thought he would be fired after his debut performance in the 1964 historical war film 'Zulu'.
The 81-year-old 'Educating Rita' star said he felt he was very bad on the first day of his shoot and thought his career was over, reported The Daily Mirror.
"The stakes were high; this was my big break. I broke out in a sweat, my heart pounding. I wasn't just bad, I was very bad. Career over, I thought," the actor has said.
