Michael Caine was photographed soaking up the sun while vacationing in Barbados with his wife, Shakira Caine, on Sunday.
The 90-year-old English actor, who underwent a serious spinal surgery last year, needed the assistance of a walker and an aide while making his way to a lounge chair.
After settling in, Michael took off his shirt and enjoyed a back massage from a local masseuse.
Meanwhile, 76-year-old Shakira — who stunned in a black one-piece swimsuit — took a dip in the ocean before heading back to shore to check in on her husband of 50 years.

The “Interstellar” star has needed a little extra assistance ever since he took a nasty fall in 2018, leaving him with a broken ankle.
He was also diagnosed with spinal stenosis, a condition that narrows the spinal canal and can cause back and leg pain, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Shakira revealed in March 2022 that Michael had gone under the knife to fix the issue.
“He’s recovering. He’s a strong man. He’s a lion, actually,” the former actress and model told the Daily Mail at the time.
“The operation was fantastic. He’ll be up and dancing again soon,” she added.
Due to his limited mobility, the Oscar winner took a step back from acting in 2021 after starring in “Best Sellers.”
“Funnily enough, it has turned out to be my last part, really,” he told BBC Radio’s “Kermode and Mayo’s Film Review,” noting that he had not worked “for two years” due to his “spine problem.”
“There haven’t been any offers, obviously, for two years because nobody’s been making any movies that I wanna do, but also I’m 88,” Michael added at the time. “There’s not exactly scripts pouring out with a leading man who’s 88, you know?”
Yet soon after, the legendary movie star teased the possibility of making a return to the big screen, telling Variety he was “reviewing two scripts.”
“Regarding retirement, I’ve spent over 50 years getting up at 6 a.m. to make movies, and I’m not getting rid of my alarm clock!” he joked.
In fact, it appears Michael may be reprising his role as Arthur Tressler in “Now You See Me 3,” which is currently in pre-production stages.
