Caine to co-present Nobel concert

Sir Michael was seen earlier this year in The Dark Knight

Veteran actor Sir Michael Caine will co-present this year's Nobel Peace Prize Concert with Scarlett Johansson, its organisers have announced.

The pair previously appeared together on screen in 2006 film The Prestige.

Diana Ross will headline the event in Oslo, Norway on 11 December, which will honour this year's Nobel Peace Prize recipient Martti Ahtisaari.

The concert, hosted last year by Kevin Spacey and Uma Thurman, will take place one day after the Nobel award ceremony.

"Caine has appeared in over 100 films and been honoured with numerous awards," the concert's organisers said in a statement.

Canadian musician Feist, US country singer Dierks Bentley, Mexican singer-songwriter Julieta Venegas and Nigeria's Seun Kuti will also appear at the event.

Former Finnish president Ahtisaari received this year's award for his work in mediating conflicts around the world.
