Proud of his working-class roots, Caine has discussed the opportunities his film career gave him: "I got to play football with [[Pelé]], for God's sake. And I danced with [[Bob Fosse]]."<ref name="Telegraph" /> He also became close friends with [[John Lennon]], stating: "With John and I it was a case of bonding because we were both working class and we shared a sense of humour. We were pretending we weren't who people thought we were."<ref name="Telegraph" /> His closest friends included two [[James Bond]] actors, [[Sean Connery]] and [[Roger Moore]].<ref name="Telegraph" />

Some time after his mother died, Caine and his younger brother, [[Stanley Caine|Stanley]], learned they had an elder half-brother named David.

In July 2016, Caine [[Name change#United Kingdom|changed his name]] by [[Deed of change of name|deed poll]] to his long-time stage name to simplify security checks at airports. Caine stated that because the security guard often recognised him but was unaware of his real name, it would waste a considerable amount of his time as he tried to prove that he and "Maurice Joseph Micklewhite" were the same person:

"[A security guard] would say, 'Hi Michael Caine,' and suddenly I'd be giving him a passport with a different name on it. I could stand there for an hour. So I changed my name."<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Chan|first=Rosalie|date=21 July 2016|title=Michael Caine Has Changed His Name|url=https://time.com/4418838/michael-caine-maurice-micklewhite-name-change/|access-date=23 July 2016|magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]}}</ref>
