That guy's still alive?!

I went to see a movie last night and almost had a heart attack when I saw Clint Eastwood's gonna be a main role in a new film coming soon which I forgot the name of. Then I started stroking when I saw he could still walk and talk normally. I mean, isn't he like 6 centuries old? Fought through the Revolutionary War and all?

You're right, he's very old now. I'm 59 years old, and I was watching him on tv when I was 7 years old in 'Rawhide'!!

I can't really remember a time before Clint Eastwood. What a fantastic film star and director he has been. I watched him in 'The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly when I was a young teenager. Everybody knew he was going to be a major star.

'Dirty Harry' established him as probably the biggest star in the world at that time. Later in life, he has directed interesting films like 'Flag's Of Our Fathers', and 'Letters From Iwo Jima'. Also still acting and directing himself in recent times in 'Gran Torino'.

Still working now into his 80s. Well done Clint, one of the few modern 'greats'.

Totally agreed! My dad still watches Dirty Harry every single time it's on the TV. He's a big Clint Eastwood fan.

Movie looks decent too, although I can't remember what it's called. Clint Eastwood is a hero of mine, and I'm only 23. And as much as I want to hate Justin Timberlake, he's a decent/likable person on screen.

Lol correct. Timberlake was great in the recent Friends With Benefits. Enjoyed that a lot. I've gotten into Clint more recently however as I know he's quite talented.

I love Clint to death, how can you not but his last couple movies that he directed(Hereafter and Invictus), well they sucked lol. His new movie looks like a better Moneyball.

I thought he said he didn't want to act anymore? But maybe that was before Gran Torino!

Best line from the preview: "Get outta here before I have a heart attack trying to kill you".
Classic Eastwood type line, with an acknowledgement toward his age.
