Clint Eastwood, 93, makes rare appearance, worrying fans with “so different” look – “he’s unrecognizable”
Clint Eastwood’s legacy as one of the all-time great actors and directors was cemented a long time ago.
It actually beggars belief that the Dirty Harry star is still active in the entertainment industry today, aged 93, with fans eagerly awaiting his upcoming Juror No. 2. Reports insist that the flick will mark the final professional project of Eastwood’s long and storied career, after which he can settle down and enjoy a well-deserved retirement.
These days the aging icon isn’t seen all that often, which is perhaps why a recent video of him sparked so much reaction from people. As per reports, the 93-year-old stepped out at a recent event and cut a different figure to that many are used to. Some quarters of the public even labeled him “unrecognizable”.
Hear the words Clint Eastwood and you’ll likely conjure an image of a strapping man with a brooding stare, well over six-foot-tall in height. Yet Father Time comes for us all, and the days wherein Clint was racing around the desert after bandits, or asking bad guys if they felt lucky, punk, are now resigned to history.
Watching our favorite celebrities grow old can often be a strange thing to witness. Perhaps it’s because we see them steadily aging with every role, maybe it’s just because it reminds of us of our own mortality.
In any case, a recent sighting of Clint Eastwood certainly caused a stir after he attended a speaking event hosted by conversationist and primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall. Frail Clint Eastwood is seen in rare public appearance.Clint Eastwood’s still going strong at 93! ❤️
The event reportedly took place just a few weeks shy of Clint Eastwood’s 94th birthday. The location was the Sunset Cultural Center in Carmel-by-the-Sea, the city where Eastwood used to be mayor.
The legendary actor stepped out in a blue checkered flannel shirt, with gray slacks and sneakers, with long white hair and a bushy white beard.
Now, we hardly feel the need to say that Eastwood actually looking his age is nothing shocking, but there were a deal of people online who were taken back by the actor’s frail appearance.
“Aging is just so cruel,you’re a legend Clint,” another added.
“Is he ok omg!! He needs grooming help!” a third said.
“He should have at least shaved and gotten a haircut. He still looks strong though,” a fourth opined.
There were others who had nicer things to say about Mr. Eastwood, but the general feeling was one of surprise as to how he looks now compared to, say, just a few years ago.
As mentioned in the beginning of the article, the Million Dollar Baby legend is still working, with filming for what is expected to be his final film, Juror No. 2, having started last year.
“I love what I do,” Eastwood said in 2018. “I’ll probably keep on going. I feel good, but it depends on material. I probably wouldn’t do something just because it was marginal–I have to kind of think it has some validity and has some relationship to today. With a lot of other people, was it that their health went bad or did they just get bored with it? I often wonder, because I haven’t gotten bored with it.”
