He celebrated on May 31, 95. A figure that the Californian reached at a different moment of his life: since 2021 he does not star in a film and remains away from the media focus, acts and public life. Actor, director, producer, composer of soundtracks … Eastwood has been everything in the 70 years he has dedicated to the industry, in which he has also participated in more than 80 titles. It is one of the last living legends of Hollywood, and despite having taken a step back in his exhibition, his name continues to cope with headlines and his opinions are viral.
That is what happened again last weekend, when international media echoed an interview that Clint Eastwood had granted Delivery manan Austrian medium. Their controversial words against Hollywood and their creativity soon went viral and many replied, including news agencies like Reuters.

And he continued: “As an actor, I was under contract in the old studio system, when I was forced to learn something new every year. That’s why I will continue working while I stayed something to learn, or until I have become a loss at all.”

The editorial team of Delivery man He is investigating the matter, which will take time given time with the United States. We will communicate in this regard immediately later. ”

While continuing from the focus and living its almost century of life in peace, Eastwood continues with its most important role: that of father and grandfather. He is the father of eight children, born of six different relationships. “It’s great when he’s, because he is very committed, but he has an occupied life,” said his daughter Francesca in a recent interview.
