WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT, MICHAEL?

Alfie legend dishes on Wayne, Winters, Sinatra & O’Toole!

TWO-TIME Academy Award winner Michael Caine is ripping the lid off his bizarre and shocking encounters with movie A-listers during his 60-year career — including his showdown with doting daddy Frank Sinatra and John Wayne’s weird advice about suede shoes.

The 85-year-old — who played Alfred the butler in Christian Bale’s Batman flicks — had just come to Tinseltown to promote his 1966 hit Alfie when he ran into Wayne in the lobby of the Beverly Hills Hotel.

The Duke told him: “You’re gonna be a star kid ... but never wear suede shoes.”

Wayne then explained he was in a restroom and “the guy in the stall next to me turned towards me. He said: ‘John Wayne, you’re my favorite actor,’ and pissed all over my suede shoes.”

Alfie skyrocketed Caine to stardom, and soon he was partying with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and dating Sinatra’s sexy daughter Nancy, he reveals in his just released memoir, Blowing the Bloody Doors Off.

Nancy invited him to fly on a private flight to Las Vegas with her family, and he found himself faceto-face with her mobbedup, hot-tempered dad.

“I was nervous,” admits Caine, thinking Frank might want to know his intentions toward Nancy. “But my cockney accent fascinated Frank. He thought it was the funniest thing. He laughed whenever I spoke.”

He also recalls his maneater co-star Shelley Winters’ cure for nerves on his first day shooting Alfie.

She suggested they “slip away for a quickie,” but he turned and fled!

“I was in no mood for that on the first day of the biggest film of my career,” he says. “I was so nervous, I would have failed miserably.”

He also recalls boozing years earlier with famed drinker Peter O’Toole and says he “woke up completely dressed, in the same bed” as the hardpartying actor — with no clue how he got there!

O’Toole advised him: “Never ask what you did. It’s better not to know.”
