CAINE FACED GAY JIBES AFTER ADMITTING ACTING AMBITIONS

SIR MICHAEL CAINE faced a family backlash when he told them he wanted to be an actor - because his relatives presumed he was gay.
The Zulu legend was worried about telling his traditional family he had dreams of becoming a film star, but didn't expect his sexuality to come into question.
He remembers, "That's what we thought actors were - all poofs (gay). And sometimes we were right."
