Clint Eastwood turns 96 today.
Ninety. Six.
At an age when many people are arguing with the TV remote or making suspicious noises while getting out of a chair, Clint Eastwood is still directing movies, producing films, and occasionally reminding the rest of us that toughness never really goes out of style.
Eastwood first became famous starring in westerns like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, A Fistful of Dollars, and For a Few Dollars More. He later became one of Hollywood’s biggest stars with movies like Dirty Harry, Unforgiven, Gran Torino, Million Dollar Baby, The Outlaw Josey Wales, and Heartbreak Ridge.
But what’s really impressive is what he accomplished after most people would have long retired.
Since turning 60, Clint Eastwood has:
• Directed and starred in Unforgiven (won 4 Oscars)
• Directed Mystic River
• Directed Million Dollar Baby (won Best Picture)
• Directed American Sniper
• Directed Sully
• Directed The Mule in his late 80s
• Directed Juror #2 in his 90s
He’s been nominated for more Academy Awards after age 60 than many actors receive in their entire career.
And despite becoming famous for tough-guy roles, people who work with him often describe him as calm, efficient, and incredibly disciplined. He’s also known for filming scenes quickly and rarely yelling “cut” unless absolutely necessary. Basically the opposite of most people trying to assemble patio furniture from Costco.
Whether you’re a fan of westerns, action movies, or just appreciate someone who keeps going long after most people slow down, it’s hard not to respect what Clint Eastwood has accomplished.
