The 82-year-old actor called on the UK to cut ties with Brussels unless there are “extremely significant changes” to the 28-country bloc. David Cameron is currently attempting to win a series of reforms from Europe ahead of a promised in/out referendum on Britain’s EU membership, but Tory MPs have been left to attack his demands for not going far enough. Asked whether he would back Brexit at the upcoming vote, Sir Michael told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I don't know what to vote for. Both are scary. "To me, you've now got in Europe a sort of government-by-proxy of everybody, who has now got carried away. "Unless there is some extremely significant changes, we should get out."

But the Oscar-winning star added: “I sort of feel certain we should come out." Sir Michael dismissed scaremongering over the effects of Brexit from those determined to keep Britain in the EU, as he pointed out to the fact the UK imports more from the EU than it exports to the bloc. He said: "Well, OK, so you fail. Get better, work harder, try harder and you'll be a success. "But you cannot be dictated to by thousands of faceless civil servants who make these rules. "Then they argue about it financially but we buy more from them than we sell to them."

I have been poor, I have been on the dole, I have worked in factories and I am a multi-millionaire, I have paid heavy taxes. “So I know every problem from every angle and not many people are like that. "The last time I queued up for benefits, Sean Connery was two guys in front of me."
