Michael Caine furious at 'bull****' woke claim that 1964 film Zulu sparking far-right extremism

Last month, the review found that Zulu was a “key text” for “white nationalists/ supremacists” and that the government is not doing enough to combat “non-violent Islamist extremism".

Caine responded to the news saying: "That is the biggest load of bull*** I have ever heard.”

A series of reforms have been recommended following the conclusions of the Independent Review of Prevent, published on February 8.

Home Secretary Suella Braverman said she “wholeheartedly” accepted all 34 recommendations.

And claimed that she was “committed” to making changes to protect the UK from “the threat posed by terrorism”.

The Prevent review was ordered by Priti Patel when she was home secretary in 2019, in a bid to shield vulnerable people from terrorism.

Caine, who turns 90 next week, explained that his part in Zulu was one that "made me a star".

"There are no films I wish I hadn't made," he said during an interview with The Spectator.

Caine has previously spoken about politics throughout his acting career during which he won an Oscar twice and was nominated six times.

In 2017 he referred to politics as “chaotic” following the Brexit referendum.

"I voted for Brexit... what it is with me, I'd rather be a poor master than a rich servant,” he told Sky News at the time.

"It wasn't about the racism, immigrants or anything, it was about freedom."

With no plans to retire, Caine’s latest film, The Great Escaper, is due to be released this autumn.

The film is inspired by true events about a veteran who escapes from a care home to attend the 70^th anniversary of D-Day.
