Michael Caine's story about being mistaken for a drug dealer is glorious

If ever you need to bust out a Michael Caine impression, there's a very simple trick: apparently you just shout "MY COCAINE" and it sounds exactly like his name being said in a cockney accent.

This can lead to complications, though.

During an appearance on Friday's Graham Norton Show, Caine explained that he was once accused of being a drug dealer by the host of a party.

"I went over to her, and she said: 'Are you a drug dealer?'," Caine says in the clip above. "I said 'No, why do you ask?'

"She said: 'Why's everybody calling you my cocaine?'

"You know that story's true because you couldn't make it up," he finishes.
