Sir Michael Caine looked relaxed as he enjoyed a sunny Easter break on the beach in Barbados on Saturday.
The iconic actor, 90, was seen without the use of his trusty cane after undergoing surgery on his back last year.
He still seemed to need some help getting to his feet with two ladies coming to his aid.
Michael sat on a lounger shirtless and enjoyed a back massage from a local masseur.
His wife Shakira, 76, looked fabulous in black beachwear as she took a stroll along the beach.

The Academy Award-winning actor, 89, has been using a cane in public since 2018 after suffering a broken ankle from a nasty fall on the ice.
Earlier this year, he explained, “I have a spinal problem that affects my leg, so I can’t walk very well.”
It comes after his wife Shakira confirmed earlier this month that Michael had undergone major surgery at a London hospital.
“He had back surgery quite recently,” she told the Daily Mail during the private viewing of Sir Michael Caine: The Personal Collection, at the Bonhams auction house. “He had spinal stenosis.”
She described her husband as a “strong man” while confirming that he was doing “great” and was “recovering” after the surgery.
The Guyanese former model, 75, added: ‘The surgery was fantastic. Soon he will be able to dance again.’
Spinal stenosis is a condition that narrows the spinal canal and can cause back and leg pain. Surgery is usually recommended only when non-surgical treatments have been ineffective.
In October, Michael announced that he would likely retire from acting, describing his film Best Sellers starring Aubrey Plaza as “my last role, really.”
Noting that he has limited mobility, he added, “Scripts aren’t exactly pouring in for an 88-year-old protagonist, you know?”
Calm down: he then put his blue shirt back on and kept a low profile in a black cap

But it seems that the actor will not be starring in other projects yet as he is about to take part in the Czech action-historical drama film Medieval while it is believed that he will reprise his role as Arthur Tressler in Now You See Me 3.
Sir Michael, who started acting in 1953 when he took a job with a repertory company in West Sussex, said: ‘I haven’t worked for two years and I have a spinal problem which affects my legs, so I can’t walk very well. ‘.
He further pointed to the memoirs he has published in recent years – The Elephant In Hollywood in 2010 and Blowing The Bloody Doors Off in 2018.
“And I also wrote a book, a couple of books that were published and were successful, so I’m not an actor now — I’m a writer,” he said.
