Michael Caine left starstruck by Calista Flockhart
Veteran actor Sir Michael Caine has only been left starstruck by two famous faces in his life - Frank Sinatra and Calista Flockhart.
The British icon's career in entertainment spans more than six decades, but in all the interactions with fellow celebrities over the years, he has only been rendered speechless by one music legend and one actress from his favorite TV program.
He tells the U.K.'s Daily Express, "With Sinatra, we were traveling
in a private jet across America in the 1970s after the success of
Get Carter. I sudden realized who I was with and shut up.
"He asked me what was wrong. I said, 'It is unbelievable for me to
be sitting here with you,' and he said, 'When I first came to
Hollywood in 1938 I found myself with my hero Ronald Colman and
just lost my voice altogether."
Caine revealed that the other odd meeting was with someone fans
would not expect the Oscar winner to be at a loss of words
over.
He continues, "With Calista, I was a big fan of her TV show Ally
McBeal. We were at the Golden Globe awards in Los Angeles and she
suddenly waved. I looked behind my chair, wondering if it was for
somebody else.
"So there's me acting like Joe Soap because I always feel such an
idiot if I wave back and it's not me they are waving at. I came
over all shy. I swear I even blushed."
