Michael Caine was once mistaken for a drug dealer

Veteran actor Michael Caine says he was once mistaken for a drug dealer at a party because his British accent left listeners thinking he said "my cocaine" when introducing himself.

The 84-year-old actor made the revelations on an upcoming episode of "The Graham Norton Show", reported People magazine.

"I was at a party in the Philippines and the hostess was looking at me rather nastily and finally she beckoned me over and said, 'Are you a drug dealer?'

"When I said, 'No, why do you ask?' She said 'Why is everyone calling you My Cocaine?' You know that story is true because you couldn't make it up," he says.
