Michael Caine has clarified his political views on Boris Johnson in a brand new interview.<\/p>\n
The 88-year-old actor, who has often voted Conservative in the past, was in favour of Brexit and still maintains his position despite recent issues surrounding the UKs supply chain. <\/p>\n
Oh, thats teething trouble, Caine told The Guardian. <\/p>\n
Its obviously not going to go well immediately. I mean, I dont know whats going to happen. Ive got to wait for Boris to come back off holiday. I mean, to do that, to go on holiday right now, its unbelievable. Empty shelves. People queueing for petrol. And you think: Wait a minute. Hes gone to Marbella?<\/p>\n
Reflecting on Johnson as Prime Minster, Caine added: Oh, I supported him. I thought he was great. But now Im very disappointed in him. He made a big mistake there, going to Marbella. <\/p>\n
Lets see if when he comes back he can settle it all. Otherwise we might have a socialist government.<\/p>\n
In 2019, Caine reiterated his belief that Brexit was a good decision.<\/p>\n
The actor stated that he thinks its important for the UK to be in charge of their own future even if it means being poorer.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the Today show, he said: People say Oh, youll be poor, youll be this, youll be that. I say Id rather be a poor master of my fate than having someone I dont know making me rich by running it.<\/p>\n
The actor claimed that fears of a no-deal Brexit were a result of scare tactics.<\/p>\n
What I see is Im being ruled by people I dont know, who no one elected, and I think of that as fascist, he said, adding: In the long run, though, itll come around.<\/p>\n
