Clint Eastwood Interview | Parkinson | BBC Studios 

Its going to be a sad day on earth when Eastwood dies....

A GREAT man with many talents. A true legend of his time. Long live Clint.

I love it when he calls Sean Penn a "young man"

"Well, he should have armed himself, if he's going to decorate his saloon with my friend".

Clint Eastwood is one of my favourite personalities in cinema

still he seems very fit for someone of his age

A Living Legend !

my favorite Western he was in was "For a few dollars more" with him and Lee Van Cleef.

His favourite beer is Newcastle brown ale, amazing.

if clint eastwood was british he'd be a sir by now

@Kittlionheart when i`ll be 80 i want to be like him,the chicks love him!

What a gent and what an actor. To bring so much to a screen and often say so little is a great skill.

Parky, one of the best. Asking interesting questions and then sitting back and letting his guests answer. How did we ever get to infantile non interviewers like Norton and Ross ?

Clint Eastwood is a Legend

The Outlaw Josey Wales, Unforgiven, Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, Gran Torino. . . . Clint's work just keeps getting better each time. Clint will always be the greatest- for generations to come.

I totally agree such a handsome man in his early days my favourite films that I found him in was those spaghetti westerns my favourite one was high plain drifter brilliant film and also he used to be a lady charmer in raw hide in which came on weekly years ago.If an actor was to play his life story I would put my money on Hugh Jackman another totally good looker.

Just impossible not to love the man and his art!

Every time I shoot someone on mw2 with a .347 magnum, I can't help saying to myself 'Go ahead, make my day'.

its so sad there aint no more man made like him ,hes my idol, and a genius no matter what the age.

What a legend Clint Eastwood is !!

the man's got such class and finesse.

Im 22 and watch Clint Eastwood movies often, i think the way he makes a movie is brilliant and the stares he gives in everyone of them are funny. Wont see another one like Clint, his mother lived to 96. I hope he does to and if he can handle it, keep making movies.

Man i would love to meet clint, The man is a LEGEND...This guy is soooo good looking for his age

Clint, I'm 17 and love your work! From the Dirty Harry films to Gran Torino! It's hard to get a reaction from that crowd I agree, but action films today are simply come and go tripe which will be instantly forgotten within the DVD release.

best actor the world has ever seen,good bad ugly best film ever made

Clint Eastwood--Legend

Eastwood = A great man.

The ones who swear are the ones who have a very limited vocabulary. Not referring to Eastwood, but the comments on this video.

Damn, I respect this guy so sencierly!.. True raw model for a good wise Man. God bless you, sir!

classic...i dont predict many 'shake n bake-all image' actors of today becoming the great talent that Clint and his generation is/was. Brilliant actor/director/visionary.

@thomas658 But I'm not arrogant and cocky! I'm just better and more awesome and daring then anyone else.

One of the finest directors in the world.

Legend is too small of a word to describe such an iconic man. Clint Eastwood is the Mount Everett of men.

Happy 90th birthday 🎂 Clint Eastwood 🎊🎉🥳🎂🍾

A true talent , so versatile , if anyone interested check out his interview and talk on " inside the actors studio " excellent ...peace

I think loads more young famous actors, need to work with this guy, they'd learn alot from him. Clints a true Living legend!!

Clint is a wonderfull actor but also a wonderfull director

clint is a legend, one of my fav actors

Clint Eastwood my Hero *

Thats it! CLINT IS A LIVING LEGEND!

living legend

Such a legend ...

His newest movie "Gran Torino" was a VERY powerful movie! Rent it, you won't be dissapointed. The message in the movie was very motivational

Man is a Legend.

clint eastwood is amazing

He is THE man....I freaking love this guy. hope you had a happy birthday....guess my invite got lost in the post :/

THE MAN WITH NO NAME. MR CLINT EASTWOOD, I LOVE YOU MAN.

@rednekbnp the phrase here is "your lips to God's ear," and it's in response to the very nice compliment for the film "Mystic River" (i.e. that it's the equal of "Unforgiven" as an artistic achievement) It means something basically like "I hope you're right," or maybe "let it be so, indeed!"

clint eastwood = coolest guy to have ever lived

The last of the great actors to come out of Hollywood ! and the end of Hollywood.

why are these interview clips so short :(

Kelly's Heroes....... 1970

Eastwood is so cool.. was is and will be!!!

Legend!

His directing is as awesome as his acting. Gran Torino. Nuff said.

Awsome man love his films

LEGEND I LOVE HIM

Stay with us Clint as long as You can, nobody does movies like You. Geat man.

clint eastwood is the man! mystic river is one of the best Eastwood directed movies,and sean penn shows amazing acting talent in it

Seems like such a nice and down to earth guy!

So classy so talented and shows a humble aptitude,I love his films,he is a great actor and a great director,had visited the mission ranch enjoyed the food brunch was tasty and delicious, it was delightful, the food the scenery the ambiance,Carmel by the Sea is simply spectacular gorgeous no wonder he made the area his home such a peaceful place!!!

Parky has interviewed thousands of legends over his 100 year career. How come he still hasn't sussed how to ask a decent question? "so as diector of the movie, Whats your job?" for fucks sake...come on man!!!

even chuck norris checks under the bed for clint eastwood

I thought the bbc didn't do adverts

Film: Absolute Power 1977!!!! wow!!!!!

Clint eastwood is an awesome actor

Eastwood kicks Chuck Norris ass....... Sorry guys, it's just a fact.

@evo5dave i never knew :o

i just watched grand terino and i cant believe how young he sounds in real life

He is a live Legend :)

I truly hope Eastwood will stay with us for a long time to come and that he'll keep on directing great movies. I guess he feels the same way, 'cause the way he sees it, "dying ain't much of a living". He's a living legend, and when he'll die, he'll die in harness, right on his own set.

Clint Eastwood is a totally under rated director. Every single one of his films has been powerful.

Clint Eastwood is a living LEGEND.

I think the "Unforgiven" was really modern trash and filth. My favorites were "Hang 'em High", and where Pat Hingle played a sort of fake judge "Isaac Parker". That was my kind of Movie....... and the other was where the Arizona Deputy went to New York to bring back a prisoner. That was edge-of-chair stuff. Sorry to say, but Clint Eastwood is a piece of the past. Under a black president, justice, real justice, cannot survive. I am glad I made it to 80, Many won't. see 80..

eeerrmmm its clint easrwood a fuckinn legend american or not hes mint actor

Yeah totally agree, I wouldnt be surprised, thats just the kind of thing Hollywood would do, grab some talentless actor to play the part. I just get the feeling, they will remake these films one day. And I really dont want them to, but Its all these other remakes, and revivals that have emerged lately. Come to think about it, if they even asked Clint to be a part of, I reckon he would find the thought of remaking those particular films "Insulting" and would probably turn down the offer anyway.

Well, just to explain further. Hollywood, are into remaking/reviving and spoiling every Iconic, classic movie out there today. I fear one day they will try to do the same thing with Clint's two biggest classic, Iconic movie figures. This precisely being, the "Leone Spaghettis" and the "Siegel Dirty Harrys." No doubt Eastwood has Directed many Oscar Award and Nominated great films. I myself am ashamed to say, One of my favs of his is "Bridges of Maddison County."

@JimmyTheKiller The man among children. An icon of his generation without peer IMHO. The presence he had in his prime was peerless, to repeat myself... Sean Connery comes close, but Clint will always be the big, quintessential non-pretty boy that everyone male wanted to look like...

Lol! :P im just a lil confused as to why there's any adverts before clips put up by the BBC...seems a lil contradictory to their whole way of working- the license fee is for BBC, everyone else makes money from commercials- why do BBC make money from ads on youtube? seems damn cheeky to me...

Not that it should matter, but Eastwood has always been in favor of moderate gun control, and he's been on the record as such since the 1970s. In fact, he supported the Brady Bill in California. Next time do your research before mouthing off based on supposition or prejudice.

"But," Im afraid to say, that when It comes to remakes, Its "The man with no name," and "Dirty Harry Callahan," that with get the pointless, glittering, Hollywood modern treatment. How it always goes. What I am stressing, is that if Hollywood really have to do this some day, I only hope "Clint" will be aloud to work on these. Because Only he could make a "Remake" worth making.

In most of Eastwood's films ( like in Woody Allen's ) there's an army of babes kicking his door down to bed him, sometimes having to take a number (even when he's over seventy-five! ) Either Eastwood has Ron Jeremy as an image consultant, or he gets to write all the scripts in his films. Typical Republican megalomania.

one of the most famous mis-quotes right there.. here's the actual line (apologies for my pedantic geekiness in advance!!) - "You've got to ask yourself one question- 'do i feel lucky?'. Well, do ya, punk?" thank you and goodnight...

As a old soldier myself I think he made the right choice in his actions. He was not going to live much longer due to a health issue. He let the bad guys hang themselfs by killing him. He died a warrior death. I thought it was planned very well.

I wonder if an interviewer has ever asked Clint a tough question before. I think they are afraid that if they did, he might pull out a Ole' Western style 6-shooter and blast them down. I hope he lives forever , one of the few TRUE American badasses.

its "well your lips to god's ear, I think". Its a line to keep yourself humble, but yet still neutral, in front of someone showering praise on you. Great line to remember if you ever find yourself in that position (i wish). ;)

Ask yourself what leads Men to revolt. Why did the American Revolution and French Revolution happen. There is a good philosopher/writer by the name of Thomas Paine, you probably heard of him, am I correct?

Another way of looking at it is to say we fight for Freedom every day of our lives. Nothing is owed, but you certainly are allowed to pursue it. To say you are not free, is to not have the word Freedom in your vocabulary.

The best scene in a movie EVER - ´´ The Unforgiven ´´ When he just walks into the bar and says * Who owns this shithole !? * And then he pwns about 6 people at same time x) I love you Clint ! Westerns, Gran Torino, and more, KICKED ASS !

most people mispronounce erudite. You hear them say it as air e o dite. They somehow manage to add a syllable. It's easy to see why, as the mouth is moving to change vowels. But, it's the worst word in the world to mispronounce.

i love his movies

...I know he didn't start starring in films till the 60s...but to me Clint is the last of the classic Hollywood stars...I know Kirk Douglas & Tony Curtis are still alive but they don't make movies anymore

@jld19brownbomber yep, he's the last of the hollywood 'greats' when bob mitchum died that has only kirk douglas from the 'golden age' of hollywood. clint going is hard to comprehend!

yes well all hollywood are interested in is whatever sells. i wouldnt call anything he has directed as bad but maybe a few average. bridges is great dont be ashamed ha ha..

I dont recall saying any of his movies were bad, but thanks. Yet, "the others" would beg to differ (as I thought) they "Negative Voted" my comments. Guess someone didnt like the film.

@fonzi0was0cool maybe he grew up watching clint eastwood movies like me he likes clint maybe clint is eldospinks's is or one of his favorite actor

You are right. I read that Snake's facial features were originally based off Clint Eastwood's, and his body was based on Jean Claude Van Dam's.

tom cruise, brad pitt are not as good as clint. clint and other greats like charlton heston have made so many great films that i love.

i loved Grand Torino...u get a sense that it is the end of his acting carrer but i think we wil see alot more movies directed by him
